the cover does not pop up, these batteries are fully sealed and can be mounted anywhere in your car, not just in the engine bay, they will not leak and they have no caps.

for more information about the batteries, check out this link http://www.apollobatteries.com.au/newproducts.pdf

Good timing.. i was on the look out for a new battery.

Initially was after a Gel Cell battery.. but this ain't bad @ 550cca.

I'm definately interested, let's get some prices on shipping.

Could someone also tell me which is better between this one and the one in wrxhoon's group buy ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=62252&st=0 )?

this is a CALCIUM sealed battery, it has NO caps.

this battery is not a no name battery, it comes from a tried and tested company and are the type of batteries that would be supplied to you through any good Auto Electrician. it is very high quality and will serve you well.

i tried contacting a courier company for prices however interstate postage will bring the price above retail, so the group buy will be for pick up only from Penrith (SYDNEY).

although it doesnt look like i'll be able to get that many numbers for pick up, so it doesnt look like this group buy is going ahead.

A proper gel battery actually has gel in it.

does this battery have gel? or is it still acid/water, just with a cap that is sealed?

That's what i want to know.

If these are actually gel, or a non water type, i'd be very interested.

by the way, which model fits in the R33 boot?

Hey Andy,

Is this buy going ahead ?

Put me down for a '453'. To suit R33.

Are the terminals on this battery the small size to suit the factory R33 clamps?

there doesnt seem to be enough interest from local members for this group buy to go ahead, and i cannot post interstate due to the huge freight ccosts that i have been quoted, sorry guys but this group buy is cancelled.

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
