Just bought a new battery for my R32. Has an RB25DET but the battery is still under the bonnet.

Type is a NS40Z if that means anything to anyone. Just wondering what Number of plates 11 and cold crank amps 340 means??? Seen a few threads stating that 340 is a fairly low number??? True - false???

At first glance, 340CCAs is rather low. My battery is rated at 575CCA and my daily driver (V6 2.6L) is 480CCA.

The number of plates refers to the electrodes within the battery.

Is it starting ok?

Light reading if you're bored :laugh:

I had a little jap 280cc in mine, that lasted 4years before it came out.

It spun the rb20det over fine but did struggle with the rb30. I dropped an exide 480cc in to mine and 1yr later its started making a bubbling noise from the left side of the battery, its also started leaking every where.

It does have an ever so slight dent in the top as due to its crappy handle design the clamp doesn't have an edge so to speak to clamp down on, instead placing more weight in the center. I don't think they will replace it under warranty but for now off to the wreckers for a cheap s/h $20 battery until it comes back from the exide bloke looking at it.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
