Bought this by mistake. Brand new. Tried to install on my NSX only to find that it wasn't the 51R that I thought it was.

It's a group 51 battery with standard left positive and right negative terminals.

I believe it fits the following (according to info I found at Car Domain):

2001-Up Honda Civic 1.7L
1984-91 Honda CRX
2000-Up Honda S2000
1983-89 Mitsubishi Montero
1988-96 Mitsubishi Pickup 4-Cylinder

$130.

Prefer local Southern California as I'm unsure about shipping.
 
It'll fit - just install it backwards - seriously!
The terminals are not that far off centre anyway. D34 would have been a better choice for high current application but the 51 should work OK & be lighter (weight) if that is a primary concern.
 
Thanks. I tried (desperately) but it won't fit when reversed as the terminals are then wedged under the blower assembly, and the + cable kept popping off when I pushed the battery into place.

I'm actually running a 51R because of my air-water intercooler tank that I have in place of the spare tire.
