Hi I have a quick question in relation to my Yellow Top battery I bought about 12 months ago.

I have a optima deep cycle 41 A/H 500CCA Yelltop battery, I belive its a D51.

I'm using the battery in my 1990 nissan skyline GTR. My problem is this : I was running a mono block amp (sony XM-D1000P5) and a simple two channel amp. The stereo was fine.

Recently the 2 channel amp broke down and I replaced with a 4channel amp. After doing this my stereo now chops / cuts out after 10 ~ 15 minutes of playing at loud volume....

What I mean by chops out is that the mono block amp and sub continue to run along with my head unit but the front and rear fill running off the 4 channel amp chops out (cuts out).

So I bought a 1 farard capacitor to try and fix this problem, but it still occurs. Then I also ran a new 4 guage earth cable in the boot direct to the 1 Farah capacitor and also to the negative side of the battery to try and remedy the problem, still happens.

THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.... Also for infomation my mono block amp uses 10.5 ~ 16 Volts and the current drain at rated output 90A (at 2 ohms) and my new sony 4 channel amp (sony MSD46X) and the Current drain is (@ Rated Power - 4Ω): 31Amps. So my question is can the Optima yellow top battery handle my CAR amps or what else do you think the proplem can be....??

PS : Also does anyone know the output of a 1990 R32 GTR alternator?? see if may be a problem aswell?

Alternator can handle it, otherwise bigger problems would be obvious.

Battery wouldn't handle it for long after car is off, so might be worth while getting it checked. Although I don't think this will be your problem, it narrows the list.

You said you ran 4 gauge for earth, you did the same for positive right? all the way back to battery?

Thinking about it now, what size(amp) circuit breaker did you use for the new run?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
