Moving battery behind

[starscream]

I was thinking of shifting my car battery to my rear compartment, but i got to know that battery actually emits acidic gases, anyone have any idea? or using a dry cell battery won't emit any gases, please advice!

Just normal Maintenance Free (MF) battery oso can.. no need to buy dry cell

FYI, never done it before but watched the installation process at bengkel

DIY my own battery relocation.
Cost me around... RM 150 or less only.
Did not really count.

About RM 70 for 4gauge cables (could have been cheaper if only i could source for welder's cable and better)
About RM 20 for the heat shrinks (yeah, kiasu me heat shrink the entire cable)
About RM 5 for the alluminium plate to distribute the positive in the front
About RM 9 for the box (buy from giant)
About RM 0:50 for the screws
About RM 10 for the 100 Plus (hey, i drink a lot)

Effects.... lots of space in the front.
Whacking corners super hard at 140 to 160 and battery stays intact. No sound nothing.
a good DIY project. Not worth letting others do it.

toyogo boxes??...

 

[DarkAccoon]

SKYWALKER, YOU ARE CORRECT

toyogo boxes. but its kinda hard to find the correct size.
ehehe
mine was a little small, so gotta do some "operation" to increase the height.

BTW, my battery is a NS70 non maintainence free size battery. So yeah its heavy and if it sticks to the back, it will pretty much take any kinda battery,

MAKE SURE DA CONNECTION FROM DA ORIGINAL + LOOM AT THE FRONT IS REALY SECURE!...I'VE SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM MY FRIEND CAR BECAUSE OF DA CONNECTION FAIL AND SPARK TO DA CAR BODY(-):thumpdown:

 

[DarkAccoon]

which is also another reason why DIY is good....
u can't trust most installers since their thinking is "not my car mar"

Guys, I don't want to sound like a party-spoiler here, but I think relocating the battery (DIY way) to the back of the car is consider illegal, from JPJ point of view.

i know this has been a very common thin, even more common in the overseas country. Anyway, a couple of my mechanic friends had been issued summon about the mod and had to revert back to the original battery location. Just my 0.2cents worth.

 

[Turn1]

Nissan R33 GTST comes with boot mount battery as stock config?

Go figure!! Can JPJ reject this car??
If done correctly and safely, don't see how they can defect? Maybe they can, just my 2 cents worth..! Maybe depends of the condition of the rest of your car...?

Turn1 :slug:

Ken Yeang,

No issues,

My ride = Putra.
Modification done by myself.
Went thru Puspakom with ease during my gearbox conversion checkup.
They never even question on the battery.

Note: they did pop up the hood. and look intensely around for anything illegal. And the boot was open as well for their checks.

So i presume that the modification is OK. but then again, knowing how Puspakom and JPJ work, they can change their mind anytime. This are the words from someone (ME) who kena saman for HORN TAK CUKUP KUAT.

relocating battery trick lays very much on the box...this box should be able to protect, (from any leakage from your battery) the car boot floor againts corrosive acid. The rest is the terminal and 2 length of welding cable.... the terminal best is to buy a few more.... thats for the ground terminal... i ground the battery at the rear suspension mount and along the wire to the front manifold, i peel off few points in between and i did a terminal ground to the car chassis, gearbox and the last end to the intake manifold as its aluminium. Then if you like to do additional grounding to the engine bay you can just plug everything to the intake manifold or link a distribution box from there as your grounding.

**Off topic abit.... on 1 PUBLIC HOLIDAY, my customer whom work at palm oil mill went down town to get his groceries. Half way kena block and kena saman due to big n loud exhaust (not that loud actually). Then officer say go change exhaust to stock and dun let him see the car wit that gadget again. being a good citizen, since he is going down town, he looked for me and we went to look around to change exhaust... but since its PUBLIC holiday, we cant find any shop that open on that day. having no choice. he went back to mill, half way .... kena tahan again....same roadblock...he say no shop open... police say jgn kau bagi alasan... rayu rayu and rayu insisted on his excuse.. police gave no fcuk and issue another saman.... since one week he only have ONE OFF DAY... he went back to work... the next week... which is NOT a public holiday he went down town again wid the intention to change exhaust, pass the same blardy road block and my friend call me in the phone says " AKU KENA SAMAN LAGI"

this is mad:stupid:
