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!!!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
