Excellent info, thank you. These batteries don't come cheap so I'd like them to last, and a bonus would be for them not to burst into flames! The Mini inline fuse unit should arrive anytime soon and I've plucked out where to find the Alt-S wire. Alt-S.pdf

Agreed! Me too. -

Very interested in going to this

Thanks Adam, I'll be adding that into the loop

The positive cable has it's own 2-3mm thick insulation casing but where it passes anything hot in the bay, a bit of heat shielding wrap was added.

Dash lights help - Blue led conversion backlight gone

How handy are you with a multimeter and a soldering iron? I can give you the electrical schematic for the climate unit if you fancy dismantling the unit and having a go yourself. It can give a good indidication where to look. I had a dodgy board and found a hairline crack in one of the copper circuits to be the fault. I've done the conversion twice and tweaked mine a few times more. -
The batteries might fit in the gap laying down which would be even more hidden. I didn't do that because over time I imagined it might leak from one of the caps and I wouldn't know. If valleys were cut into the foam and maybe the terminal ends inverted so the cable was lower, that might hide the cables further I'll have another look at that. My old engine bay terminal ends were wired into a junction box near the old battery location I also have a Ctek plug wired in there so I can plug the car in to charge near the fuse box under the bonnet. The long 0 guage positive cable was fed behind the ABS pump, through the firewall where the OE loom goes, along the passenger door sill and rear bench seat into the boot area near the suspension turret. The negatives can be seen bolted to the chassis in front of the spare tyre. I didn't have to strip much away, just the plastic door sill strip where the rear washer pipe can be found. I fed it past the rear speaker whilst that was out so didn't have to pull internal plastics away.

I ran into this price leap when I got a new front screen. My fitter said the facelift one was import order only so maybe that's why it's a lot more costly.

The batteries are held in place only by the poly foam that I cut for a snug fit. I'll need to come up with something to go over the top of them to keep them absoloutly planted in place. They are Odessey Extreme PC950 (Extreme30) that were bought new as a pair. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/pc950.htm - Pulse (5-second) Hot Cranking Amps (PHCA) 950 - Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) 400 - 20Hr Nominal Capacity (Ah) 34 - Reserve Capacity Minutes 60 - Dimensions L x W x H (in) 9.8 x 3.8 x 6.1 - Metric Dimensions L x W x H (mm) 250.0 x 97.0 x 156.0 - Weight (lbs) 20.0 - Weight (kg) 9.0

Recently I had a battery die on me by making the house stink of eggs (garage is integrated into the house). It had heated up, warped like a muffin and popped a cap. I thought this might have been due to me trickle charging it on a constant low voltage, but the settings on my Ctek charger were set to option 3 AGM which charges the battery less frequently but at a higher voltage. This is to lessen pronlonged heat build up from charging which these types of batteries have got issue with. So I replaced that battery with something even better, two of the same type! They are small and fit very discreetly in the sub well behind the seat. I have two as the previous one would be running out of power in a week if not charged up or driven. Wiring them in parallel doesn't affect the CCA ability but does double the capacity. The Supra seems happier so far. Starter motor fires up more eagerly and my Oled has miraculously displays all the gear shift positions were it was flaky when selecting R before. The Oled program does need a final revision still to finish it. There are two grounds now for the batteries which must be helping, and the whole lot doesn't absorb any boot space other than a slight wiring bulge under the carpet.

This thread is almost 2 years old so RonTT's tailgate may have already found it's way to a new home. I shipped a Celica tailgate with Paisley Freight 4 years ago only to hear from my buyer of how the courier actually dragged the thing along the ground to the front door. The packaging gave way and the tailgate was severely damaged. Champion.

You'd make your money back selling the ash tray on! Haha. Great start to ownership and welcome to the club

Attention to detail on this build is incredible! Great to read your story, and how this is turning out to be one of the best Supras ever built.

Welcome. Keron on here might have some 2nd hand panals available. Here's a database if you need to pick out any particular part numbers should new ones be needed. Parts link
