Just bought a new battery for my R32. Has an RB25DET but the battery is still under the bonnet.

Type is a NS40Z if that means anything to anyone. Just wondering what Number of plates 11 and cold crank amps 340 means??? Seen a few threads stating that 340 is a fairly low number??? True - false???

At first glance, 340CCAs is rather low. My battery is rated at 575CCA and my daily driver (V6 2.6L) is 480CCA.

The number of plates refers to the electrodes within the battery.

Is it starting ok?

Light reading if you're bored :laugh:

I had a little jap 280cc in mine, that lasted 4years before it came out.

It spun the rb20det over fine but did struggle with the rb30. I dropped an exide 480cc in to mine and 1yr later its started making a bubbling noise from the left side of the battery, its also started leaking every where.

It does have an ever so slight dent in the top as due to its crappy handle design the clamp doesn't have an edge so to speak to clamp down on, instead placing more weight in the center. I don't think they will replace it under warranty but for now off to the wreckers for a cheap s/h $20 battery until it comes back from the exide bloke looking at it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
