Hey Guys,

I have sold my car to HeathGTST and we are in the process of getting a roadworthy done. Everything on the car has been checked off except for the Battery.

The battery I need has to be a fully sealed and vented battery the same as the standard Nissan item. However there isnt any batterys sold like this in Australia. Vic Roads wont accept just a sealed battery like the one I just bought.

Has anyone got a Standard R33 Battery that is sealed with a venting hose that goes in the hole next to the battery. I need to borrow it for like 1 day and will pay someone to do it.

Or has anyone got any other suggestions of making a sealed box with a hose running out of it?

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know anyone who does roadworthies that are not complete morons?

Call me if you can help, this is URGENT.

Where are you mate? is it the fully sealed with venting pipe that runs down to the little hole next to the battery? does the battery work?

Dont take a guy in need for a ride, i only need the battery for a day.

Give me a call or send me a pm

Vicroads sent out a recent buliten to all roadworthy testers stating that any in cabin battery (in the boot is counted as in cabin since its not behind a firewall) needs to be sealed and vented. so the gas it releases can't be ignighted etc..

hahaha i have the stock one available. U can have it i'm in glen waverley. dun work too well though. been sitting in the back yard. But i fink it'll help U pass!!

Can I ask a stupid question? If a battery is sealed, doesn't it follow that there'll be no gas released and hence no need for venting? :confused:

it must be totaly sealed or the top sealed and vented outside .

something like an oddyssey or optima will be fine but they are very expensive .

a while ago i came across some cheap fully sealed betteries and i put up a post for them . i dont know if these are still available but if anyone is interested let me know and i'll find out . they were only $130 for the big ones ( same as oddysey 1200)

the only batteries with sealed top and vent that i know are small jetski batteries but they are to small for cars .

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 😄
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 😅   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
