ing if i well after pulling my battery out for a charge i notices its only 370 CCA battery,

it normally takes 3/4 seconds to start, i am wondering if i need a bigger battery

x0x0x

Is that 3/4's of a second to start or 3 - 4 seconds to start?

I run an 'AllRounder' from Battery World in Fyshwick. Cheaper and has more punch than the typical Yellow Tops. It takes around 1/2 a second to 3/4 of a second to crank the engine over. The CCA on it I think is around 600CCA with a higher AH rating than the yellow tops. AllRounder Battery

I see the slightly longer start as a good thing. It gives the engine a little extra time to build oil pressure before being under full load... not a biggy for a standard engine, but it all helps.

Whatever Optima Yellowtop is. It's a deep cycle battery, meaning the charge level can drop to pretty darn low levels (ie won't crank at all) and still be recharged to normal :D Might come in handy Alex!

Same goes for the AllRounder I posted about Ben.

I had the Yellow Top in the Subie.. Excellent battery, but not for the price.. I got the AllRounder for half the price and it has a longer deep cycle charge.

(P.S - I just realised I said Battery World, but it is suppose to be "The Battery Factory")

I had a 440cca battery and it took maybe 2 seconds to start the motor, once that battery started to die (Scott - remember us roll starting my car in Kingston on Anzac day ;)) I chucked in a Supercharger brand 660cca battery. The fellow at battery world said it's the same cold cranking amps as you get in a Landcruiser.

One tap of the key and she fires first time every time, it's a good feeling lol :)

I can't even tell what mine is.... It's blue with yellow bits on top. It died one day and the NRMA told me it was f*ked and I really had to get to work so the NRMA dude in the battery van came along and changed it for me.

*shrugs* it works ;)

Yes i do.

Since running a oil cooler, i am paranoid about building pressure, so ignore me. :P

660cca is uber, will do the job fo shiz

yeh but i have that on my Landcruiser just to power accessories and a winch, must be some serious stereo to need as much battery power as that. :D

Mostly hidden. Some nice quality speakers in the rear and front doors with some Xcellent tweaters.

Work done by AudioTech Tuggers.

Put them in the GTS-T and then moved em into the GTR.

holy crap what size subs are they? my 12 doesn't take up anywhere near that much space

Could be the angle of the Photo's and the fibreglass sub enclosures. I cant fit much in the boot :P

2 x 12.5" Bostons = Heaps of DOOF DOOF (bass).

I dont turn it up till on the open road or at SAU Christmas party's at the Cotter. Sometimes it annoys me to hear it from cars round populated areas like the malls or local shops (fully sic mate!). I just think what a wank. A nice Skyline will get noticed anyway.

Most of the sound is restricted to the inside due to soundproofing from firewall to boot.

i went with a big 600cca cheap bosch and it works great

but 1100cca? thats nuts. what do you need that for? starting on a cold morning while doing a bit of arc welding at the same time?

hehehe I don't do things by halves :P

Errr - 2 Battery's. 1 to crank and the other to keep the stereo cranked.

I used to do that, to set it up right (and legally) there's a lot of shit involved.

Ooooh nice...

This is why I need the power :( and you can see that even though they call them a 'twelve inch sub' they obviously don't fit in a 12 inch hole :)

      Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
