Have you read the thread on PGA Mick by Cozzmo? I know it's not a Skyline but may have some tips.

I'm also thinking about doing a battery relocation.

hey i have done it, make sure u go real heavy welding cable. the only hard bit is gettting the cable through the firewall nicely.

other then that, its pretty straight forward.

The amount of people saying you have to run 0G/1G Cable is crazy, its not necesary, 4G can handle it quite sufficiently, in saying that ive run 2G To be on the safe side, Although my battery isnt in the back yet so its only running my amp. Running the cable is easy, down the drivers side and under the black metal thing under the rear seat, getting it into the boot was a bit of a mission but wasnt incredibly difficult. i ended up putting a New Grommet in the firewall though (top left corner) as 2G doesnt bend easily, and i wanted the cable tucked away as best i could.

silver GT, you are only correct if it was a short lenght. i was under that impression with my R34. i used 4g and i could barely start the car there was that much current drop.

i went 0g and its perfect. do it once do it right

well im not gonna argue with results haha, i successfully used 4 gauge in my SSS, but in saying that, the starter would draw a bit less current in a 4cyl. Point Noted.
