Ive got a distribution block from a beemer to make it look nice under the bonner,ive got a battery box now all i need to purchase is the cable, what is your recommendations for power cable?

I was thinking of going 2gauge cable,friends have used welding cable aswell.

What would be the best option?

Thanks

0 gauge car audio cable in a kit is cheaper , welding cable is very good stuff but a pain to run in a car , and connections are Industrial looking , plus 2ga connections are harder to find then 0ga

I have it in my car, and "retail" it was about 200 bucks and comes with grounds, fuse holder.two distubution blocks, battery terminals and 4 gauge as well. in a metal/plexi display case for use on whatever afterwards.

are you going to run two batteries or just 1 ? you need a isolator if you run 2 as chris sugguested

if you use a CD tray or GTR battery tray in the rear it works a treat. my GTT had a 6 disk changer mounted on a nissan steel tray, flat and strong on the passenger side axle area. under the rear deck, that would work sweat with some mods to it. and don't forget a battery in the boot must be vented to atmo or better yet a sealed AGM/Drycell type battery to be legal and safe?

yeah just one battery for more space under the bonnet for pod/airbox so coolant overflow can go where the battery went. 2gauge is gonna set me back about $100 for what i need. ive got a battery box,and ill probably run a flexitube down the rear quarter for venting.

i had a 10disc stacker in my car that was velcroed to the carpet,i plan to make up a checker plate base to go inside the battery box which will be mounted to the car and also use it as the mounting point for the battery.

think ill have to put this mod on hold for a while,just ordered a high flow metal 100cell cat and my exhaust is getting finished,plus i have to replace an exhaust gasket and get around to installing all my audio gear ( ive got all of it except a sub box and rear speakers)

6 or 6.5" response kevlar splits for the front,response 4x100wrms speaker amp,cadence 500wrms mono block and a alpine type r 12" sub.

thanks for your info,ill prolly go with the 2 gauge for now and see how i go,should be ok and if its no good i can use it to make a earthing cables for the engine.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
