Need Your Help R34 Gtt

[R34Mobster]

Hi everyone I need advice on how hard would be to relocate battery to the boot this is on R34 GTT..

or know a workshop-----auto mobile electrician to do the relocation need it asap... the car is currently at the work shop needs to be finished Wed or Thur

I know you need to run 0/gauge cables and fuses on both ends, and where should i run cables ? under the car or through firewall and interior.

will be running 3'' piping , from plazaman intake plenum to intercooler ,pipes need to be run where battery was before..... had a thought running it sideways as well but battery cables would hit throttle body and there not too much room.

any help would be much appreciated thanks

run it under the car is a similar route to the fuel lines . and plenty or grommets/zipties

[libardi]

do you need to have a dry cell battery or something different? or does it not matter?

[snozzle]

if your planning on passing the pits with a battery in the back, pits want fully sealed box with a pipe going to the outside of the car etc etc blah blah expensive excercise, even if its drycell, they dont care

otherwise, its quite simple and a good idea for weight distribution and also to extend battery life due to less heat, if u get a yellow, return it back to standard, its alot easier to do that, than make the pits happy

funny enough, i got an engineer to approve of the battery in boot install, gave a cert for it, but pit inspector still didnt like it for alot of stupid reasons, i gave up, not worth the hassle from cops / pits etc

thanks for the info guys

yea I was planning to run dry cell battery in the boot plus to went it outside later on

for now i just want to get car on the road its been like 10 weeks in workshop. tomorrow electrician is going to relocate it ... and i presume his gone use one of those cheap battery boxes.

like u said snozzle it's not worth the hassle from cops and pits. was thinking of getting a engineer cert for all Mods so i guess it not worth.

anyway i only have two options

1. leave all battery at the front -- means getting a smaller battery so that i still can run pipes through cost was about $450 -500 at battery world

2. relocate it to boot with fully sealed box - cost around $300 for electrician to come to workshop and relocate battery

plus around 130 for fully sealed box .

once again thanks for your help guys

where can u buy those boxes from? will pits approve them? has anyone had an aftermarket battery relocation to rear and passed pits? pics of setups if possible?

[Nic_A31]

You just gave such good advice, now soo many questions....?

I know a few that have passed with those boxes setup in the rear.

Any auto parts store can order those boxes for you.

Broken links, but they might come back online...very clean setup in an A31 that got an SR20DET swap (battery relocated to make room for front facing plenum feed), and it passed the pits with this setup. (Full build, here: http://www.silviawa.com/forums/index.php?s...30447&st=40 )

the electrician relocated the battery to the boot it looks good not so bad.

didn't have time to look at it properly

he ran cables from fuse box and all cables are tacked away and for battery box they used normal box found in Omega and other models.

i also asked them if i needed to run fuse at the end .. they replied "there is no need it will just draw more power" i was like um wtf yea right you don't need it unless you are idiot and want your car in flames one day .lol

cant wait till a get my car back on road and dyno tune it

[Nic_A31]

.........f**king LOL @ noob arguing with qualified auto electrician about (lack of ) fuse apparently causing explosion and/or flames.

Yet another classic SAUWA moment.

[Dorigecko]

You're dyno-tuning it after relocating your battery?

What the f**k son. You drive a Nissan, not an 18th century Steinway.

And agreed, arguing with a qualified tradesman is retarded. Have you looked in your glovebox? Because if you disrespected me by saying "yeah wtf yeah right you don't know what you're talking about" I'd take a dump on your Fully-JDM owners manual.

ha ha you two are funny first off all i did not argue with electrician i never said that but it sounded that way anyway i kept my thought to myself it was first thing that entered my mind and i was just using it as met fore . and i didn't mean any disrespect to all electricians.....

even the mechanic at workshop and alberts said that you need circuit breaker or fuse whatever.

second off all "You're dyno-tuning it after relocating your battery?"

dude did you even read the first post ....

"will be running 3'' piping , from plazaman intake plenum to intercooler ,pipes need to be run where battery was before..... had a thought running it sideways as well but battery cables would hit throttle body and there not too much room." its obvious that my car is moded and needs a tune it's at workshop..

before you comment read the thread first and don't just piss all over it with stupid comments unless you have something reasonable to say or have Q & A to help others.

once again i DID DONT MEAN ANY DISRESPECT TO OTHERS just wanted some feedback and experience from others.

peace out

[Nic_A31]

"Even the mechanic at workshop"

So mechanics know more about eletronics than electricians now ... ?

[SKYRYAN]

he was just pointing out his concerns of having no fuse, where others had said he would need one. qft.

at least someone realized my point thanks ,rather than arguing about it
