go to a stereo place and ask them what is a good battery to get. You will be suprised that it is not always Odessey or Optima,

a few place i spoke to said get one that can charge a certain amount or allow so many discharges without dying and produces a certain ampage or something. Sorry I am not full bottle but apparently it can be a normal lead acid battery so you dont need to fork more than $100 for a mad replacement. I had an odessey and it went flat and then it didnt charge and was hopeless after that so yeah. but seriously the best advice i got believe it or not was audiocom fremantle the guy explained why the normal battery was good

I went to Marlows, took my old battery to them and they said:

"That's not a car battery, that came out of a lawnmower"

I said:" I just took it out of my car"

They said: "Are you sure?"

Useless bastards, but I did end up getting a battery.

See'ya:burnout:

My car hasnt moved in 5 days....thus, i havent driven it in that long.... coz my battery is upf*cked.... stoopid small jap batteries...

What did everyone else buy and where from ?

Do you need to change the battery terminals, as I noticed they are smaller on the jap batter compared to another battery i have lying around ?

when i went in there saturday worksauto bentley seemed to have a stand full of them - if only i knew that before i visited marlows three friggin times in the one day!

Yes the skyline batteries are really tiny because they have to fit where they do :) So yeah the guys at marlow couldnt believe u can run a turbo car off that. Best idea is to take battery out and in with u - I tried to advoid doing that but yeah eventually took it in leaked all over the backseat of mums clubby oops.

if you didn't drive there sideways it probably wouldn't have leaked.. :)

yeah true gotta stop the sideways thing but its the only time that car sees the top end is when i drive it - cant be responsible for cobwebs in engine etc now.

She hasnt noticed yet - luckily it was mostly dirty water. theres that much crap on the backseat i think im safe for a little while - and by then she'll forgot i even had it :)

I got a Optima Deep Cycle Marine battery... Fully sealed any everything... puts out like 750cc @ 65 or 70 amp hours... Coz the battery is so big i had to do some cutting to the battery shelf and put the battery on its side and put bigger terminals on... The battery cost me $300 from Battery World from memory... Its damn good too, just as a test, while washing my car had my stereo cranked for 2 hours (very decent stereo system) and the car started beautifully afterwards....

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
