cedsks · January 26th, 2011, 02:11 PM

I was needing to do this soon, my q is can someone post up some pics of what the battery/tray missing looks like, extra reps for holding a measuring tape in XYZ axis. Trying to design a custom setup, but Its f'ing cold and my terminals on my battery are half cracked and dont want to remove them untill I am ready to install everything.....

the original tray is bolted to the side of the shelf, fenderwall and screwed into a backet attatched to the power steering lines.

Ok I think I get the Idea, so in this pic there is a OEM tray attached? Is there anyway u could take that tray out and snap another pic? It would help alot bro... I already rep'ed ya...

LAWNDART02 · January 26th, 2011, 05:59 PM

No, in the pic the tray is already out of the engine bay

02'TrueBlue · January 26th, 2011, 07:18 PM

The tray sits on that shelf. It doesn't look TOOO bad but there's a huge wire loom running over it that either needs to be hidden, or covered with some fabbed up sheet metal..I haven't quite figured out a solution to make it a cleaner look. My car is covered in snow otherwise I'd add my pics to the mix lol

The best looking fix is to put in a coolant container for an air-to-water supercharger aftercooler.

Very true haha. I'd love to relocate the radiator overfill tank in that spot, MMR had a kit but i think it was pretty expensive. That and the power steering. and maybe a catch can lol

Imran · January 26th, 2011, 09:53 PM

when they say it won't pass nhra rules, does that mean you can't race in events or not at all, like at the track at all? test and tune sort of stuff? i'm confused.

99GT35thLE · January 26th, 2011, 10:01 PM

They will not let you run period if they are following the rules, even during T&T.

If you put the battery in the trunk it has to be bolted down with 2 - 3/8" bolts and vented to the outside and you will need a master shutoff switch that disconnects the battery and kills the engine. So you have to run the alternator positive lead to the master switch.

Imran · January 26th, 2011, 10:06 PM

I'm pretty sure there are reasons, such as liability during an injury due to the kit, but that's just gay...

What are you looking to place in the area.

Just measure the battery tray and the height of your battery, there's your measurements. Some of the SC kits use the battery area for the coolant box. There is a company that makes a stand alone fuel tank for nitrous, then you can put race gas in the tank to mix with your nitrous.
