Like the post says..

At the moment I have a wet acid battery in the boot of my R33, this is very bad. I have found a couple of little acid prevoked rust spots in the boot! Nothing serious, just 3 little cosmetic spots.. But it just goes to show that a much better battery is needed, one that doesn't vent!

Now the cooler climate is upon us, and the old battery is slowly dieing, and I need to upgrade it anyway..

Does anybody have contacts or websites where I can find a suitable replacement. I looked in the search and only found some old group buys and not alot else.

i got my dry cell years ago, just by going through a local battery mob (was approx $250 for battery and install)

never looked back

i got a heap of stereo gear bolted to the back wall of my r33 boot, so i need to minimise battery access

been all good so far!

hey bud try Battery world.. i had a optima D34 installed in my R33 boot on the side you will need to change terminals and a new bracket tho all up it was around the 550 mark...

    • Yes there is a front and back insertion point on each side, each point is tubed with supports into the car and tied to the cage/ floor mount point
    • Is the jack stand system tied into the cage somehow? Upgrades look goooood 😍
    • Big updates, tons of work and $$$ 
    • it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
