take a drive to battery traders on Moss St, Slacks creek. They will be able to recommend a suitable one based on the one you currently have. Budget around $100 for a half decent one. Cheaper ones are available too.

Yeah my sister just had her battery replaced by them for her R34 GT-T, so they will definately know which one you'll need.

Hollla for a "MARSHALL"

LOL

Remember the old add on tv where the guy gets stuck on the railway line with a train coming and he hollas for a Marshall and the guy comes out and replaces the battery and he starts the car and drives it away just before the train crosses the road... :P

Back when I may have needed a battery I was told battery world. They said bring the car in, they'll match up a battery and could supply replacement brackets if needed.

No appointments or that jazz, just turn up and say what you want. :P

This is partly a shameless plug but mostly a fix for everyone running a conventional battery mounted in the boot. Please read on.........

There's an old saying from a Castrol ad campaign back-in-the-day, "Oils ain't Oils" & the same can pretty much be said for batteries as well.

I'm assuming (please correct me if I'm wrong, I drive an R32 GTR) that the R34's, like the R33's have a boot-mounted battery. If that is the case, everyone who has a boot-mounted battery should either have a Sealed Lead Acid or a Gel-Cell fitted, or failing that have the conventional battery contained in a sealed battery box with an external vent.

The reason for this is, when a conventional (non-sealed) battery is charging it releases Hydrogen gas which obviously has the potential to go BOOM if enough of it builds up & is somehow ignited. This has seemingly been lost on most people, incl compliance shops & RWC stations as almost every single Import I have seen with a factory boot-mounted battery has been fitted with a non-sealed conventional battery. It can also lead to having gases inside the car itself which is also something to be avoided.

Now the shameless plug part-

I am soon to be registering as a Trader on SAU & amongst other products I will be offering Sealed Lead Acid batteries specifically to deal with this problem. Batteries will range from around 300CCA to almost 1000CCA which will have enough reserve grunt to let you run a big-amp sound system for awhile & still start the car so you can get home again so not only will they power everything you're ever likely to bolt into a car, it won't run the risk of turning your Pride & Joy into a fiery comet either.

Now I'm sure some of you are thinking "WTF, this won't happen etc" but none of us think we'll ever be in an accident or blow an engine either but we also know it can & sometimes does happen.

For anyone who is interested, either post here or PM me with details of your car & I'll get back to you with a price incl postage.

:(

yeah.. pays to get a good battery. I got a cheap ass Battery World one for about $80.. has lasted less than 12 months and it's shagged. It also appears to leak, which is also nice and dandy.

Next battery I'm going to get something good, it's one worth spending money on - as its an embarassment roll-starting your skyline at the servo due to a dicky battery!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
