I was carrying some Duracell rechargeables on the weekend when Kory, Matt, Sidd and myself met up for a shoot, and they failed in my flashes, even though they'd previously been fully charged using a Powerex charger bought from here. I had to borrow Kory's Eneloops and use those (thanks again, by the way) - unfortunately I'd left my Eneloops at home... >_< Oh well, at least it worked out in the end.

The Eneloops are awesome, by comparison, so I'll be buying another 8 more of them soon so I always have them ready to go on hand even when carrying two flashes around like I had on the weekend.

Same link I posted, Rhys... Oh, and make sure you get a quality charger too, it'll extend your battery life.

I wouldn't really say Eneloops are "cheapies".
oh no sorry I didn't mean to imply eneloops were cheapies. I meant Eneloop "or" cheapies... if you get what I mean.

I used to use Eneloops before I discovered Powerex's. The Eneloops are on par with the 2400mAh Powerex's, but the 2700mAh's are in a class of their own.

No worries Funkymonkey :) Didn't think you meant that :)

Does the 300mAh really make that much difference? I've used Sony batteries that were rated at 2700mAh and the eneloops still outperformed them.

I'll have to test out the Powerex's :D

Also - If anyone is keen for 3rd party batteries (Minus the 5D2 and 7D because of the intelligent battery thing) go to www.sterlingtek.com ! Super cheap batteries that outperform canon/Nikon batteries. The American guys swear by them and they are cheap too!

Sorry - Don't have any discount codes etc.. But its seriously cheap! For the price of one 3rd party battery here, you can get 2 from there that are more powerful and stronger. I had 5 of them when i had my 50D and now i have to buy genuine. Although apparently the e-bay "Decoded" LP-E6 batteries are quite good, but the canon still holds charge the longest.

Nah Rhys runs his house on eneloops don't you :laugh:

Dammit, wish I hadnt rushed out and bought those batteries online now. My good mate is 2IC at Dick Smiths, he would have got me a discount!! Bugger. Oh well, I know for next time.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
