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.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
