hey, i was wonderin if anyone knew how theelectrical system works in the r33, i just took delivery of a 4 dr version and when i picked it up from the freight company(live in darwin, purch car in sydney) the batt was flat and they had to jumpstart it by hooking the cables onto a larger post under a cover at the front left of the engine bay, and hooked the neg onto a piece of metal on the strut tower. whats the go, is it the same system as some of the porsches use (diode) or wha?

the battery is in the boot. there wasnt enough room in the engine bay for the battery to be placed there so its in the boot, under the parcel shelf. not sure if this is the same for the 4door version, but thats how it is on the coupe model.

its probably just gone flat from sitting on the jap docks / aus docks and on the ship without being started. when i brought my car i had a key tag and paper ring thing with "flat battery - ECR" so no big dramas, should all be fine :D

Remove the front trim panel in the boot and there it is on the left under the parcel shelf (I have 2 coupes). The std batt is tiny and needs regular replacement with a sealed and vented via hose model to remain legal.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
