That's what century apparently recommend for the soarer, a 4wd battery! I settled for the somewhat smaller version. According to the book, it's listed for the hsv grange, so if it can spin a 5.7L V8, then my humble 'ol 2.5L jet engine should pose no problem

After reading through some of the other threads (I did a search after the thread was started), most people were recommending a N70ZZL or N70ZZ. I went to Supercheap today and bought a BOSCH N70ZZ battery, only to find that I had to turn the battery around so the cables could actually reach.
So now my negative terminal is on the driver's side of the car, and my positive terminal on the passenger side.
Also replaced the terminals with some seriously nice, brass and strong ones.

I think the "L" at the end means that the terminals are in the opposite orientation (i.e. correct for the Soarer).
The battery listed for a Supra fits (I think it's the same for the Mk3 and Mk4). When I measured up, it looked as if the battery listed for a 4 litre Landcruiser diesel would fit the tray.

Mines a 560cca one, works well on startup etc. Except everything seems to slow down or dim lightly when i come to a stop on a winter evening (headlights, heater on etc).
Should i check the grounding points or? Ive cleaned the terminals so they look new.

Check your alternator output at idle. Battery should be well up to it.
