The battery in my GTR 34 is dying.... needing a replacement... but i notice that the existing one is still the one from japan and is quite small as more jap batter is...

Anyway, just like to see what battery size and brand battery people replaced their with?

as I have actually brought one already... is a seal battery.... but is a bit too TALL??? that factory battery bracket does fit over it!?!?..... length and width is the same as the original one though

What CCA does it need anyway??? 330CCA enough?

Any help?

don't want to get those expensive dry cell battery though

to comply with AUSSIE rules,, any battery in the boot must be completely sealed or vents installed to the outside (defectable )

CCA, 330 isnt enough, try something in the 650-850 range or more if you want it to last and be dependable on a hot/cold and dont want to replace it ever two years

buy a odessy or ultima they dont cost much more then the other crappy batteries and you wont regret it.. saves you grief in the long run

dont skimp for a few bucks

there are a few other ones but they can be hard to find in oz. I wouldnt even consider anything else besides a AGM or spiral cell battery from one fo the above poeople. or worse case maybe a Delka INTIMIDATOR ?

  • 2 months later...
  • 4 weeks later...
  • 2 years later...

dead thread revive so 650-850 range is perfect ? anyone confirm thanks

CCA is based on cold weather ratings from usa

But gives you a good idea of how well it works

Depends on if you have hi current items

Stereos etc or let the car sit for weeks on end without long drives

Yellow top good mix with light grey case

Just a starting battery red top dark grey case

600-2400+ is fine but use a 100% sealed battery

Called AGM .., optima or odessy , stinger brand ( odessy rebrand)

And upgrade your terminals same time

There are a zillion brands of battery but the one's above stand behind the product if purchased from

Authorized dealer ( beware some shops used by sau members sell voided warranty imports from usa )

Ive had optima that lasted 11 years in a few hi current cars so it paid for itself 5 times over ( but in usa right next door to factory is clearance center , 65 bucks for a brand new blem with minor case marks lol ) but expect 300-400

Odessy is more but in most cases way more powerful

Odessy is more but in most cases way more powerful

I recently put an Odyssey in my car.

Regardless - as many have suggested, if you will leave your car for days at a time - also invest in a trickle charger.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
