Hi all!

Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT.

I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used.

There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray.

Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use.

Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location.

TIA for any help!

I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh.

They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve.

Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

    • Struggled as well. Got a 3:33.250 but couldn't find the half a second to get silver. I always slowed too much at the Esses du Karting section (specifically the last left hander going on to Maison Blanche). There's a good 1 - 1.5 seconds to be picked up there for sure. The other 1.5 seconds needed for gold would be just cleaning up the rest of the slower corners. I did notice though watching the ghost replays of guys getting 3:25's, they used the green painted surfaces to the extreme, with barely the inside tyres on the ripple strips. It looked like they had the car completely on the green paint at times (but obviously still contacting the ripple strips). 
    • Good afternoon SAU Team , I thought I would a quick update on the 400R , so far a quick ICE system mod using carlinkit , I can run full android without a phone , but it does allow for wireless carplay/android auto, loads a bit slow but everything works well. But the better update is ,I just received Fujitsubo exhaust straight  from Japan thanks to the guys at Black Hawk (https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/) (highly recommended)around 3k mark with shipping and GST . Will install this weekend , I'll post some updated pictures then.

    • Constant tension spring clamps need to be replaced if bent past a certain point. Once they turn to a certain age it's also an automatic replacement in my book. They get rusty and lose their tension. Also once hoses get to a certain age if you don't set the clamp exactly in the groove when disconnecting/reconnecting the hose it will almost certainly leak. As mentioned before you should also cap off the idle-up valve to make sure it's not sucking fluid or leaking air into the system. It's generally speaking less demotivating to figure out which change fixed your problem vs failing over and over until you locate the problem precisely.
    • Yeah , boot clamp was solid/ not sure how it got there but no leak so all good   there is loads of green grease still so do think it is likely to be a special grease or something    thanks again for your help mate to shed the light
