:wavey: everything still going as planned? :P

(eager to get the new battery...my current one isn't liking the cold mornings)

Yea , i should have them Thursday , i will let you know when i have them here .

Me too, Thanks heaps Jerry. The battery is now installed, and appears to be working well :).

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.

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

Good luck at wsid next week!

20x17x17 is rather wide the Original Yuasa type (YT-LB20L Super Sealed 12V 28AH 10.5kg) in mine is (in mm) 197x120x192 (LxWxH) If you go wider then the normal side clamps wont fit in their holes... I have the GTS-T HR33

Problem is the only place that sells these Yuasa are in Japan local Yuasa dealers don't sell car versions... just SLA versions.

Mine also seems to no longer hold charge though after being garaged for a long time...

If you read the previous posts you will see that you need to chande the top bracket so you can fit it in . BUt they do fit no problem at all in both gts 33 and gtr 33 .

Yep fits no problem, I put mine in the other day. Only cost $8 for an adjustable top bracket to hold it down.

The only annoying thing is that it doesn't come with posts, which caused a bit of fiddling around for me. (Of course, wrxhoon was upfront about this, I knew it didn't have posts when I ordered)

What do you mean by posts? Doesn't come with posts?

more than likely it would be the rods that link into the base/battery holder.. and have the wing nuts on the top to hold it in place.

could be wrong though

If you go to post 7 in this tread you will see in the pic that the batteries dont have posts , it has s/s screws on the terminals . You can buy posts if you like , you can cut the lead posts from any old battery , drill a whole then screw them on .

The neg terminal in the 33's has an eyelet you just put the s/s screw through that and screw it in . The possitive terminal you can turn on its side and use the s/s screw to srew it on the terminal . Some of the options that people have used .

Pavel , i still haven't received your money for the battery . If you dont want it thats fine but please let me know a.s.a.p. , someone else wants it ..

Was wondering wether these batteries are still available or wether your waiting on further numbers before ordering. Im not confirming an order yet, but will most likely be needing one soon and wanted to check availability.

Cheers, Sandy.

id probably be interested... How long does do these batts last, if you have a standard sub/stereo system running?

Sealed gel-cell batteries would last double the normal lead acid batteries as a rule .

I have a smaller one im my jetski , i had it for 2 years now and its still perfect , i dont bother charge it in winter but keeps charge o.k . all winter when the ski is not in use .

By the way these batteries are $140 now not 130 .

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
