me and my friend found a place the other day that sells batteries the same size as the original sealed for 90 dollars which i thought was ok.

i want tobe able to whatch a movie @ drive ins and not worry about flat battery

just turn your car on and off now and again, this isnt the best thing for it but will save the battery from going dead. and if all else fails they wheel a battery round after the show for those who have flat batteries!

optima yellow top @ battery world, check the white pages.. theres a few locations

im pretty sure they are under the $400 mark....

i think i paid $380 for mine...

I have the same battery in mine, but mine is an orange top, not too sure of the differance. Anyway these are great for car systems, and a 1 Farad Cap. wouldn't go astray either.

Bought mine at:

Battery World

1245A Sydney Rd.,

Fawkner, Vic, 3060

PH:9359 5111

PAID: $310 (with new battery clamps)

Be warned, you will need to modify your battery tray, leads and clamps to fit it. But is well worth the effort!

If you need help to fit it or if you just want to check mine out before buying it, give me a call as i have done mine myself.

yer im thinking of getting an optima.. is it true i need to upgrade my alternator ? and do those batteries last a full movie running say 500W RMS ? and with the clamps.. cant u just buy ones to fit from jaycar ? they haev golds clamps for like $10.. bargain! aznd do capacitoprs help.. if so wherr is the bets place to get one ? i think ill get one of those solar drip chargers at the same time for safety :rolleyes:

The battery clamps i bought are even cheaper than the jaycar ones.

Apart from the battery, there is not alot more expense, maybe another $20 for clamps, cable and battery holder.

NO you do not need to upgrade your alternator.

Give me a call and we could meet up.

You might laugh, but you could do worse than trying RACV batteries.

They have different levels of batteries, including some big mothers which could start a Mack truck from 1/2 a mile away.

Also, they deliver, install & provide a guarantee for no extra.

They're worth a call.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
