Seems my battery has given up the ghost, and I'm having trouble finding one because of the size of the battery tray.

So because of the small size the battery it doesn't have a lot of power.

The battery in the car at the moment appears to be for a Nissan Micra

What batteries do you guys use in you're R33 and where did you get them from?

 

[Mookistar]

it is a micra battery

but

plenty of other batteries will fit, just make sure the temrinals are the right way round and the correct size

plenty of threads in the past on this subject too

Std tray is approx 140mm wide... How come you have fitted this one without any mod?


Oh, BTW, removing the battery on a R33 is truly a 10min job, with no backache at all...
