Dual Battery mounting in GU with turboed 6.5 Chevy
Afternoon all, just wondering if there is anyone that has mounted their second battery somewhere else in their GU. I am currently getting a 6.5 turbo v8 fitted and have been informed that the current position of the battery is no good as the turbo is to close. The alternate place to mount the battery was under the passenger side of the car but as I also run diesel gas, it wont fit their either.
I am looking for any ideas on where I could safely mount the battery in the car itself and any issues/good ideas people may habe come up with.
Thanks in advance.
Ian

Mine is mounted under car, as you mentioned, but a mate has his at the back end of one of his drawers. Does take up some nice realestate, but he has a trailer and doesn't care. No where else really??? Unless your missus has short legs and wouldn't mind a chunk of lead under foot.....good luck.

Simon from 4wdTV has his in the rear left side of his drawer system in his GU8 4.8.
Tidy and works great. Email him and he could probably send you a pic mate although he is away at Aldee Station this week.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks for the replies, I might look into those slimline batteries and try to mount just behind cargo barrier on left hand side.
