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:

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 .

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
