Skyline V36 Battery

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I have the right battery for the 08 Skyline 370GT; at the moment there's a Neuton Power 85L610 12v (http://www.ktbattery.com/neuton-power/automotive/car-battery-neuton-power-85l610.html) battery installed in the car which is one year old. However, the car's 3rd party Viper security alarm keeps going off with the message “battery voltage low” whenever the car has not been started for more than 2 days or so. It will go off for a minute stop then it might go off again in 5 minutes or 4 hours. The alarm is not armed when it does this either.

I checked with compliance and also Infiniti Australia and have been told that the battery is fine and that it's pretty normal for Skyline's battery to run flat/low if it has not been started for 2/3 days. Is this correct?

Obviously going to chase if it up with the alarm system dealer soon however would appreciate if you guys can advise whether installing a different battery might stop it from running low. If so, what battery do you guys use on the V36?

Thanks in advance.

What's the actual voltage of the battery when you receive the warning? Reason why I ask is because unless you have a lot of accessories in the vehicle which draw some power even when the vehicle is off, a decent battery should be good for almost 2 weeks.

I think the general consensus is about a week but I've had mine last for two weeks before it was impossible to start. For what it's worth, I've also got an aftermarket alarm as well as a couple of amps of which neither should be drawing add much as yours may be. With that setup, I got my 2 weeks.

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
