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 ?

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

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.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
