R34 Correct Battery!

[2KR34]

Hi Guys,

My son's recently bought 2000 R34 GT-T sedan came with a puny second hand battery but I want to get a new quality replacement.

The battery finders of most manufacturers only list a 1990 on, being a NS40ZL or ZLX which are only 330 CCA so I just wanted to check if this is OK.

Thanks in advance for any help, Mark.

Optima Redtop. There is no "correct" battery, but I use and Optima (not sure if you can get those in Australia... I'm in Canada) But it is a great battery that always fires my car up in any temp.

I use the biggest one that can fit in all our cars.

Biggest problem with the standard steup if finding larger capacity batteries with the small type terminals but they are available - I found a 450CCA "Supercharge Gold EXG" brand, model MF55B24R from a specialist battery shop, which you won't find at you Repco or Supercheap which only sell around a 300CCA with the small terminals (to suit Nissan Micra's and the like). Whilst the 450CCA battery is wider between the terminals it was no longer and about the same height so the original clamp still fits.

Had this battery for over a year now without any problems and I think it comes with 3 year warranty.

Hope this helps
