me and my friend found a place the other day that sells batteries the same size as the original sealed for 90 dollars which i thought was ok.

i want tobe able to whatch a movie @ drive ins and not worry about flat battery

just turn your car on and off now and again, this isnt the best thing for it but will save the battery from going dead. and if all else fails they wheel a battery round after the show for those who have flat batteries!

optima yellow top @ battery world, check the white pages.. theres a few locations

im pretty sure they are under the $400 mark....

i think i paid $380 for mine...

I have the same battery in mine, but mine is an orange top, not too sure of the differance. Anyway these are great for car systems, and a 1 Farad Cap. wouldn't go astray either.

Bought mine at:

Battery World

1245A Sydney Rd.,

Fawkner, Vic, 3060

PH:9359 5111

PAID: $310 (with new battery clamps)

Be warned, you will need to modify your battery tray, leads and clamps to fit it. But is well worth the effort!

If you need help to fit it or if you just want to check mine out before buying it, give me a call as i have done mine myself.

yer im thinking of getting an optima.. is it true i need to upgrade my alternator ? and do those batteries last a full movie running say 500W RMS ? and with the clamps.. cant u just buy ones to fit from jaycar ? they haev golds clamps for like $10.. bargain! aznd do capacitoprs help.. if so wherr is the bets place to get one ? i think ill get one of those solar drip chargers at the same time for safety :rolleyes:

The battery clamps i bought are even cheaper than the jaycar ones.

Apart from the battery, there is not alot more expense, maybe another $20 for clamps, cable and battery holder.

NO you do not need to upgrade your alternator.

Give me a call and we could meet up.

You might laugh, but you could do worse than trying RACV batteries.

They have different levels of batteries, including some big mothers which could start a Mack truck from 1/2 a mile away.

Also, they deliver, install & provide a guarantee for no extra.

They're worth a call.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
