Hi guys,

Battery died today so need to get a new one. Called a few places and they said i need to get a sealed one being in the boot and all but cheapest i got qouted was $280(which is ridiculous for a battery i thought).

I have being looking at a Century battery so does anyone know a good place i can get one in Perth(not too far out of city)? Need one asap so will be calling first thing in the morning so any help tonight would be great.

cheers

sounds a lil over price but not by much remember you do have an import they are not a standard falcodore battery the terminals are different and for that price your getting the power of a truck battery in a verry small package i think i paid 200ish 2years ago for one step below a gellcell i got it from battery wholesalers (formerly battery world) in mandurah

What type of battery did they quote you on?

I got a 500cca yellow top optima from Battery World for $295. And the 2 guys must have been bored towards the end of the day because they even took some time to make a small plate that sat under the battery to make it higher for the cross mount to secure it properly.

A century can be bought from Big W for ~$100 can't it?!

What the hell, are you guys all totally retarded? There is NOTHING special about our batteries, they are just the smaller terminal type.

I paid like $90bux for mine, just went to the local auto parts store to pick one up. It's not rocket science!

Oh, and if you're looking at odyssey batteries, I sure hope you have the TECHNICAL justification to buy one of those, not just "cos they're better"

pm wrxhoon on this forum. he was doing gel cell sealed odyssey copies for $160 delivered. in a skyline you have to have, by law, a battery which is vented to atmosphere, not your boot, or a completely sealed battery which these are. from memory they were 550cca and i've never had a problem with mine, even after leaving the stereo on for hours. excellent trader.

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
