just a quick pointer....you sure its not your altinator? coz i thought i had a bad battery in my old car and i replaced it only to have the new battery to die. I hope it is your battery coz they are f**king expensive.

you sure its not your altinator?

Hmm... The car started after work. Made the sound that trying to start on a near dead battery (that kind of high pitched whirry noise) then turned over. I tried it another couple of times since i was all "WTF?" and it started no problems. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Alternator? Mechanically, I know bugger all. There have been another couple of instances in the past where the car didn't turn over properly (but not like it was a flat, just made that whirring noise then started on the next try) so now I'm fearing the worst :)

The dry cell ones are awesome, however for the price i wouldnt bother.

I just got a run of the mill one from autobarn, there's one that suits the R33, its in the booklet thingo there...

yuup did the same, working a treat, although dont have any heffty strains (woofers) on it, so it depends on what the battery will be driving in the long run :)

If it is just the battery theres a wholesale place over in Queanbeyan (on Uriara) he just searches up on his database whats available for the make, model and year, walks into his factory and comes back with the battery for about 30% cheaper then youd be expecting at battery world

Check that the alternator is charging and also put a booster pack on and see if it still does it as it could be a starter or ring gear problem. If it is a battery then all i can suggest is you buy the one that has the most CCA which is cold crank amps, as i looked into the oddysey batterys and i found that they had lees CCA than some of the others. AGM or dry cell are excellant but pricey.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
    • You got any more detailed photos of the tow ball set up?
