Due to some people asking, I will have another group buy of these batteries.

I have found some sealed batteries at a very good price, they are simillar to odyssey but don't have the steel case . I put one in my old 33GTR in 2004 , I sold the car some years ago to a guy that I know and the Battery is still going , car has alarm and a tracker in it . I have the same in my 34 GTR and a few others in this forum have them.

I compared the specs of the battery to those of the odyssey 1200 and they appear to be almost identical in every way. Even the dimensions are the same.The only difference is the steel jacket on the odyssey.

They are 20x17x17 cm , it fits it the r33 but you need another bracket , same with the 34 GTR too.

This group buy will be open from now until the 15th of April. The price is $200+ delivery , about $22 registered to Melbourne and Brissy.

Anyone interested let me know via p.m. you don't have to pay up front , you pay when I get them .

bugger just bought one of these (the expensive version) because I hadn't seen you post a GB for a while.

For anyone looking into these, I bought one about 3 years ago for a car and its still going strong.

Can you get any smaller sizes, I want to get one of these into the race car

Couple of questions please:

1. Mods needed to make it fit into your R34 GTR. Is it just the battery cover? Did you have to extend the battery cables eg., +ve from fuse-box, or change the battery tray, etc? Also, did you have to remove the entire back wall of the boot to install it, or just the strut brace?

2. How many years warranty does it come with, and if something goes wrong, how does warranty work assuming there are no Victorian resellers?

Thanks.

No mods needed to fit on my R34 GTR but I have a M-Spec and they come with the bigger battery . On none M-specs you need a wider top bracket ( 7" instead of your standard 5"), there is another hole there to fit the wider bracket, cables should reach, your battery tray will be 5" so if you want to replace it you need a 7" but its a sealed battery, most people don't use the tray.

To replace the battery in the 34 R you need to remove the steel backing and undo one side of the strut brace.

They have a one year replacement warranty but you have to send it back to me, never had any back so far .

Owgasm,

They are different, as far as I know they ( supercharge gold) are calcium positive plates and a mixture of calcium and lkead negative plates, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not aware of the specs on the 36 series mate . I don't know what kind of 34 you have but if they fit on standard 34 R's they must be smaller than these ( 5" same as the stock battery) . Some normal 34 R's have the bigger battery as an option ( winter option) All UK spec cars have it as well.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
