hahaha unlucky Shell.

nice work zebra, we'll make a horse of you yet

if your battery only lasted a year maybe check to see you got the right CCA rating on the battery for your car, unless you have a smaller battery fitted to clear FMIC piping.

Would have been a year and a half, counting back, and the NRMA fitted it.

Thanks so much for offering to come over too, looks like you can do more exciting things on your Friday arvo now :D

Nrma batteries - if it fits in the hole and the terminals are on the right side......its the right battery..........:glare:

yeh no problems at all. damn it now i HAVE to fix the carbies on my VW on friday arvo hahaha

And you don't live in Kambah! lol

Soooooo anyway... car started tonight with teh jumper pack :blush: Doesn't explain the grindy noise but obviously the battery's farked so will replace that and see how we go.

And now I will lock this thread so no one can reply and call me a tool for having a 3 page thread about a stupid flat battery :rolleyes:

Well weak battery maybe meant it didn't have enough power to act against the spring when pushing the gear out to meet the flywheel, yet DID have enough to spin the motor without any load on it.

Yeah could hear the pin engaging but not doing anything else.....then tried again and made the good old rattle gun sound of a flattery, then started on the 3rd go.

(this is all with my jump pack hooked up)

So once it got a bit of juice she fired up :)

Where do you recommend, the Battery Factory or somewhere?

I have Pat's battery pack so I can actually drive it someone instead of having to call them again.

Hahaha all very embarrassing Shell.

Glad to hear it started and it's running now :D

hehe it's ok I'm used to it :D

as Verms said try Lee and Thomas auto electrics aka battery world in phillip. they are auto elecs so if you ask for a battery and mention you not sure the size of the old one is right they should be able to help you out :thumbsup:

im pretty sure they sell GS YUASA branded batteries that have a 3 yr warranty but cos abit more

Went there today... was going to get one of these but they had over-ordered stock of some Optimas that were $200 and so they gave it to me at the same price that the GS YUASA was ($165).

Sooo happy to have my car back working again!!!

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
