Which Battery For A V35 Gt8 Sedan

[Birth]

Hi, the battery on my V35 GT* sedan has run flat and I need to get a new one. There is a number on the top of my battery which is "110D26L" though it doesn't seem to match up to any battery models around.

I see on this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ba...&hl=Battery that rs73 recommends a BNS60LS or Century NS60LS; however these don't seem to be a direct replacement.

In the same thread I think that superspit recommends a NZ40L from Supercheap and Ben H recommends a NRMA 2384 "Premium".

I searched on the Battery World website which suggests a brads GS Yuasa, Centruy and Maxx with NS40ZLX being the best battery and NS40ZL being listed as a 'performance battery'.

What battery have you used?

NS60 series aren't direct replacement they're about 1cm lower than standard. but you can get away either by screwing down the battery clamp lower

or put a 1cm hard foam/rubber layer under the battery to lift it up to correct height.

Not sure about NS40 series

Hello,

I replaced my battery with a N53 maintenance free Calcium King battery.

Cheers

I'm running century NS60LS ...last I checked the NS40 didn't have the same capacity CCA.

and if you have the same connectors as mine, then you'll also need to get the battery with 2 smaller terminal heads coz u can't clamp on to the standard sized ones

[...] Ben H recommends a NRMA 2384 "Premium".

I do indeed recommend (for my V35 300gt 2001).

Was fitted straight in by the NRMA man. Engine catches nicely, first time very time.

fcruz3r, when I look up the Century NS60LS on the Century website at http://www.centurybatteries.com.au/asp/ind...11&type=109 it seems that the NS60LS is a multipost battery. Is that what you have?

That's what I use

[fcruz3r]

thats the exact one I have.

400CCA will give you plenty of juice to start the car, only downside is that you will have to loose the red plastic cover on the +ve lead as there's little room to connect the ring clamp to the smaller post

You don't have to loose the red plastic cover, it's a good idea to keep it to prevent short circuit if in case it came into contact or getting wet.

Just trim a bit of side wall of the plastic cover where it gets in the way with the larger terminal. Use a strong scissors or a cutting plier.

I was not able to get a multipost battery, so fitted the NS60LS with the big posts and had to buy some battery clamps to fit the bigger posts. Bit of a pain but got there in the end.

My battery shit itself this morning,

was able to push start and i drove straight down to battery world. For $150 i got myself a Century NS60LMF installed which was assured a direct OEM replacement. Had the correct form factor, same dimensions so no need to boost it with a plate as it was too short (mentioned previously), rated at 430CCA and of course full 2 year warranty.
