Give me some Ideas of a Quality Battery to put in my 32 GTR that can replace the piece of crap i got in there!!! (Yellow and blue brand one) Century i think it is!!

Like 5th battery in over a Year! Running no sound system! Had the Alternator checked by 5 Mehcanics in over a year and the thing drains like water in a desert!!

Just want on that fits dirrectly in the engine bay! Not in the boot or any other place like that!!

caterpillar batteries are very very good, they cum in different sizes and cca (cold cranking amps) ratings. how often do u start the car? maybe try a deep cycle battery if u dont start the car often.

I got a battery from the wrxhoon group buy, has been fine for the past 5months, even though the car is not driven that often.

It's a chinese brand that is said to possibly be the same manufacturer as optima....

EDIT: the car usually gets started once every week or two and the battery has been fine.

if u afta a good battery get like was sed above a dry cell there great no maintenance and get one with alot of cca. like i got a 660 cca in those cold mornings my car starts first pop and it holds its charge really well

Time to resurrect.

So the battery in my R32 GT-R is dying. I'm trying to buy a direct fit replacement, but none of the local battery companies list an R32 GT-R in the product guides. Does anyone know the specifications required for the R32 GT-R, or can recommend a couple of drop in replacements?

Cheers,

Lucien.

I also have a optima yellow top :D Its to suit a honda civic, 6xxcca

Bestwayis to measure your existing and then check the Optima catalog

and find correct size, then the one with the correct terminal positions :bunny:

:)

Actually any battery will fit as long as the amps match or close to it. We only have Japanese brand batteries here like yokohama and panasonic which are very good. We also have sealed batteries and i'm thinking of getting one when my battery dies. I dun wanna refill the battery every 6months cause it's not easy to access the battery. Goddam 30min job. lol

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
