hey mate try Battery world in slacks creek near keith 4 wheels .. i had a 600cca sealed battery by optima but dont expect them to be cheap .. around 280-400 depending what series you get ..

Dry cell batteries are not the best choice as a main battery...

They get allot of exposure in car audio scene due to running long time with out charge... However the quick drain factor that a starter motor puts on them can damage the cell...

Id suggest if you are a trying to use your car as a display car with a audio system and no 240v help then dry cell all the ay. But for a road driven car the dry cell is an expense you cannot afford (one day you will crank and nothing will happen)...

Can i get some numbers that i can call to the suggestions from u guys?

Well i actually have 2 choices, to customise a battery box fer my battery in the car or to run a dry cell, because it's in the cockpit that's why....and i need to have it done before track day in june... :

Thanx guys fer all yer help...well ive eventually gotten a Deka etx30L dry battery from Battery World at Chermside and it outputs 365CCA although everyone told me that Deka batteries are under-rated and when tested they easily put out another at least 80-120CCA more than specified. I got the battery fer 180(lowest quote among quite a few battery worlds) and had 101 motorcafe customise the brackets fer me. Donna and her other half at Battery World Chermside were really helpful and friendly and support motorsports as they have a drag bike of their own as well...If anyone wants to get an optima redtop(800-900CCA), comet batteries mentioned in this thread does them pretty cheap at 310. Just sharing some info...

Cheers!

    • And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.
    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
