It's official. I need a new battery. After 7 years from the factory, the power source has finally gone to the big Sun.

Time to shop.

 

Just installing the new redtop tonight...ordered it through oreill'ys paid through *** but worth it to have next day..

 

Price? Weight? I just took out my factory battery. It weighs about 35 lbs.

 

I have not started it up yet(my Z), but I am itching to go through the gears. Driving a auto all winter has my right hand and left leg muscles in atrophied. o/k only my leg.lol

sorry Dave the TA's will stay on the Z ( The sandlot) FOREVER.

I resonantly picked up a REAL HK94, if you can get a paddle mag release, barrel cut down/threaded/w 3lug. re stamped and refinished, and help me with the form 1(atf) the nismo's are yours. j/p

 

lol

ATF forms, eh? The 6 or 6a?

 

I got a Braille CF battery(Jegs.com) it weighs 21 lbs but it has 1380 cold cranking amps/892 cranking amps. but they are pricey.around 2 bills.

 

What's the minimum CCA for the Z?

I want to get the Braille or Odyssey that weighs around 12 lbs. I'm not sure if the battery will last long in the Z or if it's got enough juice to start the car.

 

muy redtop was 200 w tax, and its 900 cc's i factory 490

 

its the form 1 (Application to make and register) I am trying to SBR the 94, pretty much a mp5, going through old case law I am finding 922 compliance, but not sure the hk94 has to comply with having us parts.

I think its "grandfathered" in so I don't need us parts. But I want to make sure.I am on the hkpro web site, But I dont want to ask the same question over again. I was hoping you had and idea

Redtop and new wipers feel good...its the small things in life...also have some new E3 diamond fire plugs in mail...will keep posted

 

Sorry, Jay. Don't know much about customizing those guns and getting them registered. I know the 18USC922 statute, but not how it applies to your gun. I'm assuming that either way you'll have to either ask around or register it to be safe. It's easy to register anything with the ATF. You just have to explain why you have it. Hell, people register tanks and jet fighters with the ATF and get it approved.

And damn the specs! I want to lose 20-25 lbs from the battery!

 

Insurance is back on the car 3/21. Going to actually wash it before I drive it this year...maybe

 

if its nice tomorrow.. i might have to do a quick cruise .. maybe ill wash mine too.. haha anyone?

 

Aaron, if you don't wash your car... I WILL. That dirt puts a twitch in my eye.

Mine's already washed, clean, and waxed. Too bad it's not going anywhere unless I buy a battery tomorrow.

At least Batteries Plus is charging it for me to measure it tomorrow. Maybe I'll be lucky and have a good one. I still want that tiny motorcycle battery....

 

the weight on that red top optima battery weights 33lbs has a CCA of 720

 

Yeah, that's not happening for me. Need to lose weight! And that's way over the top for CCA rating. Wow, it kicks *** if you want a system in the car.

 

Well than you should just drive naked than to cut on some more weight of the Z than...

 

I better tint the car first if I'm driving nekkid...

Speaking of tint - any word on that group thing?

 

Thanks Dave, I am sure I can get the answers, just need to be patient.

I would look at that 11.5lb Battery. I would have gone that route but the stereo system said NO.


I haven't seen your Z yet Aaron. Yep mine starts up on the 22nd(car insure). I plan on driving after I get off work, but I need to change the oil first.
