Relocating Battery In R33

[2BNVS]

since i have a complicated boot instal going in soon for the car, im just wondering how hard/possible it is to relocate the battery to the engine bay where the other power section is? i could have even more room since the washer bottle will be removed... this will make access when needed to it shitloads easier etc...

how big of a job would it be for a n auto elec to do.

cheers...ben.

If you get a chance, check out a R33 sedan engine bay, as they have the battery located there. The battery is on the left hand side. Possibly even different, window washer bottle and readiator overflow as well.

I honestly reakon it would be easy, once you find a location for it. You'll have the standard thick cable gong to your boot for your audio system. Even if you replace the cable, you'll have the conduate to protect the new cable.

if i was you, i wouldnt eveen relocate to the engine bay.

i have attached some pics that show where my battery is now, on the drivers side of the boot, tucked away and will have some holes drilled soon into the chassis to have a securing peice put around.

all that happens is you extend/replace the positive wire and ground wire, and then whola, battery moved.

thats pretty bodge... plus like i stated in my 1st post, the reason i wanted to move it to the engine bay is because the stereo going in the boot, no matter where in the boot i can put my battery theres no point, i might as well leave it where it is now no difference...

Its not too hard really it would be the exact opposite of what i did to move my battery to the boot in my 32.

There was a thread about it a while ago (cant remember what forum) where a guy move his battery from the boot to the engine bay in his 33.

I'll try and find it and post it up for you

those photos just showed where i was putting the battery. i ended up making a battery seat for it. man do you really think i would let the battery roll around where it was?
