Hi, 

I was sold a small dud battery for my VQ35 and keep having odd electrical issues.

The battery has since died.

I would like to know the best make/model battery to use in my car please?

It's stock with only a non genuine immobiliser fitted.

The Alternator is outputting 13+volts.

I only use Century. Back in the day I used to specify proper Century Yuasa, made in Japan. But the Aussie made Century batteries are perfectly acceptable.

Even the Supercharge type stuff is fine.

Expect most batteries to only last 5 - 7 years regardless of what you buy, unless truly shit quality.

Thanks but in Darwin they reduce the warranty to 1yr due to the heat destroying them.

if you get more than 2 years out of a battery up here you're lucky.

What is the model/part number of the battery you used?

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
