take a drive to battery traders on Moss St, Slacks creek. They will be able to recommend a suitable one based on the one you currently have. Budget around $100 for a half decent one. Cheaper ones are available too.

Yeah my sister just had her battery replaced by them for her R34 GT-T, so they will definately know which one you'll need.

Hollla for a "MARSHALL"

LOL

Remember the old add on tv where the guy gets stuck on the railway line with a train coming and he hollas for a Marshall and the guy comes out and replaces the battery and he starts the car and drives it away just before the train crosses the road...

Back when I may have needed a battery I was told battery world. They said bring the car in, they'll match up a battery and could supply replacement brackets if needed.

No appointments or that jazz, just turn up and say what you want.

This is partly a shameless plug but mostly a fix for everyone running a conventional battery mounted in the boot. Please read on.........

There's an old saying from a Castrol ad campaign back-in-the-day, "Oils ain't Oils" & the same can pretty much be said for batteries as well.

I'm assuming (please correct me if I'm wrong, I drive an R32 GTR) that the R34's, like the R33's have a boot-mounted battery. If that is the case, everyone who has a boot-mounted battery should either have a Sealed Lead Acid or a Gel-Cell fitted, or failing that have the conventional battery contained in a sealed battery box with an external vent.

The reason for this is, when a conventional (non-sealed) battery is charging it releases Hydrogen gas which obviously has the potential to go BOOM if enough of it builds up & is somehow ignited. This has seemingly been lost on most people, incl compliance shops & RWC stations as almost every single Import I have seen with a factory boot-mounted battery has been fitted with a non-sealed conventional battery. It can also lead to having gases inside the car itself which is also something to be avoided.

Now the shameless plug part-

I am soon to be registering as a Trader on SAU & amongst other products I will be offering Sealed Lead Acid batteries specifically to deal with this problem. Batteries will range from around 300CCA to almost 1000CCA which will have enough reserve grunt to let you run a big-amp sound system for awhile & still start the car so you can get home again so not only will they power everything you're ever likely to bolt into a car, it won't run the risk of turning your Pride & Joy into a fiery comet either.

Now I'm sure some of you are thinking "WTF, this won't happen etc" but none of us think we'll ever be in an accident or blow an engine either but we also know it can & sometimes does happen.

For anyone who is interested, either post here or PM me with details of your car & I'll get back to you with a price incl postage.

yeah.. pays to get a good battery. I got a cheap ass Battery World one for about $80.. has lasted less than 12 months and it's shagged. It also appears to leak, which is also nice and dandy.

Next battery I'm going to get something good, it's one worth spending money on - as its an embarassment roll-starting your skyline at the servo due to a dicky battery!

I just got a new battery recently and I went through RACQ they came out installed and 2 year warranty for $105. I was happy considering I needed a battery as my other one died while I was on holiday in Sydney.
