got an altima red top, but haven't set it in yet. it's 5/8" taller. anyone have clearance issuses? i'm going to use side terminals.

mike

optima ? They fit fine

Fits using top posts.

There are a few models of red top though (34, 34R 75/25, 34/78, 78).

If you have a problem getting it in the garage try putting the top down. I'm not sure why Nissan would make the red top any taller than the black one though

I had to read that about 4 times..... I must be pretty slow this morning.

^ I think he's talking about the Nissan Altima Redtop Engine.

I think most use the optima 34R.

Two-tone paintjobs coming back? The Cap'n

Yeah, I had to read that one 2 times!! hahahahaha

did that lower battery holddown come with the battery?

How are you gonna fit a Nissan in your motor compartment.

this thread is going all over the place!

i proly should've said "battery" after altima red top

Or maybe used the word Optima instead of Altima, maybe.
Tough crowd!

I got the battery at Costco, it came with the hold-down as well as some spacers. I used one on the backside to make a snug fit.

The battery hold down is avalible from Optima. Call and ask for the group 78 adapter.

opps altima, optima... tomato, tomato

i got it at costco too, it came w/ the spacers but no hold down... maybe it was misplaced, i'll check with them thanks

I recall my Optima came with a plastic cover as part of the retail packaging. The hold down and spacers were wedged in the plastic cover.

there was recall on Altimas for airbag issues

My Altima bit the dust a long time ago , but my Oltima batteries(Marne aplications) have worked great for over 4 years. Und heard of in this appplication. Restrictive to vibration and heat of Big diesles.
