ok heres what you do go to http://www.mmsport.com.au/ or call VIC (03) 9553-4200 they will post up the battery. find the PHB-900 goes for $350 head to supercheap repco one of those and buy the pre-made leads heres a list everything I used

heres the best and reliable option with no probs

PHB-900 mmsport $350 pick-up

with the leads best to take old ones out as wont fit this battery and use to measure the new lead get about 150mm longer then standard you will cut them anyway

15019 supercheap battery lead $8.00

15021 supercheap battery lead $10.00

vn commodore battery clamp as battery is nearly 2 times bigger about $10.00

and new battery terminal clamps

steps taken

1. remove old battery

2. remove the whole negative lead

3. remove the whole positive lead from fuse area (pull of cover think 14mm socket be very carefull not to snap the bolt take it very easy I had to pull the whole fuse thingy out and get pliers and a socket)

4. get new positive cable put in vice and bend the terminal to 90 degress (use hanmmer if you need to)

5. assemble back onto the positive post and re-assemble

6. bolt negative onto top neg bolt in boot

7. place new battery into the battery tray (put old battery tie down rod in the back 1st)

8. tie down the battery tightly

9. cut the leads to length add terminal clamps

10. put poistive on first then the negative

heres a option if you have a alarm because the battery is a lil bit dearer than others let keeps it working well

I bought a charger that is hard wired to the battery

750ma battery fighter junior from bias boating . com (maybe) $59.95

two option aligator clips or hard wired you can charge it and leace it connected for ever will not harm the battery had mine charging since december goes into idle mode. gud luck

shell, you do know the jump point for 33s is in the engine bay right? not directly onto the battery. they have special little teminals in the engine bay for easy jump starts. :D

haha, no I had no idea!! :)

neither did the NRMA guys obviously...

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
