i have found some sealed batteries at a very good price . they are simillar to odyssey but don't have the steel case . i have priced the odyssey 1200 at about $330 . i had the 800 odyssey in the gtr but because i may leave it for 2-3 in the garage sometimes it was going flat ( tracker , alarm ).

anyway these batteries are $140 wholesale and they are the same sise as the odyssey 1200 , same specs as well so i put 1 in the gtr and its great . it fits in the original spot but you have to get another clamp from an auto shop and it doesn't come with posts just stainess steel bolts .

anyone interested you can pm me and i'll put you in touch with the guy that sells them , not sure if he will post interstate but i can find out .

i have taken a pic of it but my dg cam battery is flat so i'll put a pic up tomorrow .

I compared the specs of the battery to those of the odyssey 1200 and they appear to be almost identical in every way. Even the dimensions are the same.The only difference is the steel jacket on the odyssey.

I have attatched some pictures of the new battery alongside my old Odyssey 800 for comparison.

20x17x17 cm , it fits it the r33 but you need another bracket

Thank's... I had problem trying to get a Century doesnt' quite fit as the (+) cable terminal is a bit too short to reach the terminals on the battery :)

Also did u find out if there are any reseller for this in Victoria, and if not if it can be delivered interstate safely?

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
