Im considering. My battery goes dead if I leave tha car for a week.

The cable that goes from negative on battery to the chassis isn't long enough because the current battery is smaller I guess and I can only get the bottom hole on the bottom of the that lead to go on the top stud. This wouldn't be the cause of it going dead would it..that I only have one of those on.

$130-140 is a fair bit, is this a gel battery? I rang up one place and they said $410 for a gel. Said bring it down so we can measure up, "yeah sure"!!

Others said you could just use normal battery....

not sure

may consider one.

Where is wrxhoon in sydney? Might be able to pick up :)

The batteries are gel-cell and they are $140 but i need 5 all up to get them at that price .

You dont say what kind of car you have , they will fit on the r33 no probs all you beed is another bracket ( just the top realy ) the cables should reach .

Yes in Sydney and yes you can pick up , depending on where you live .

I wouldn't use a normal battery in the boot , its dangerous unless you can get a semi-sealed with the breather .

Just so everyone can see the pic's again. Which should clear up some of the confusion, I'll quote my other post.

Here are photo's of the battery next to an Odyssey 1200 where you can clearly see me changing the posts over. If you want posts just go to your battery dealer and ask for Odyssey posts. They fit perfectly.

There is also a photo of the battery installed in the back of a 1997 R33 GTST series 2.

It's a great battery. I've had it for a while now, and I have no complaints what-so-ever. wrxhoon is also a pleasure to deal with.

I actually had an old Odyssey 1200 battery, and just took the terminals off that. They were a direct fitment to this battery. (See photo's)

I had already altered my car's terminals to be of the bigger variety (that fits the majority of Australian batteries), and changed my positive wire to a longer one so that made everything that much easier to fit.  

The battery infront of an Oddysey 1200 Battery:

Cheers again Jerry. Was great doing business with you. :rofl:

Good luck at wsid next week!

I have had one of these batteries for a while now also and I have no complaints about them. I recently refitted the battery into my car after having it sitting around for 3 months and it fired up the car no problems.

Thanks again, Jerry :rofl:

wrxhoon, I'm interested in one of these batteries. You have a pm :O

Pm replyed , i should know by the end of the week if someone backs out and i'll let you know .

If you can wait as soon as i have 5 people that want one of these i can get them again .

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
