Where To Buy R34gt Battery In Sydney?

[R34 Rampage]

Heya my battery is on the way out and i'm wondering where to get a new one? The NRMA didn't have one the right size and told me to go back to nissan to find one. Anyone know where to get a trusty new one in Sydney preferrebly around the north shore area at a good price? thanks

im pretty sure places like autobarn or repco sells them..

or go to performance shop..

No repco does not sell it either does super cheap auto barn etc... Bob jane sells them .. they sell them at one store in sydney tho ..

So im pretty sure the guy I got my car from Joel (aussiecarcomplience.com.au, exciteautos.com.au) sells them .. let him know Nathaniel put you into contact with him and he'll sort you out .. last time i was there he had them good bloke so should look after you

R34 batteries are shit hard to get.. I eventually had to "shape" my battery clamps .. took alot of "molding" but we got them on

I doubt that r34 batteries are hard to get at all.

with r33s, you need sealed batteries sicne it's in the boot. Even then, there are lots of varieties of sealed batteries, and there are many that fit.

With the last r34 that we changed the battery on, it just has a battery under the bonnet. Just whack any thing under there with the right terminal size. It's no biggy.

As opposed to r33s that requires sealed ones, with an r34, how much you want to spend is up to you. From $50-500

I thought it was the post size that was difficult. I've had to buy two and both I got from Powerplay quite cheaply.

thanks for the fast repies! The guy from the NRMA had a ute full of batteries but none would fit without modifying the car because apparently the R34 uses a pretty big batt but with the narrow terminals or posts from a smaller battery?

Jap battery posts are smaller (thinner) than the ones we use in Australia (SAE). You can either modify the standard terminals (eg with a screwdriver, prise them open) to fit the SAE posts. Alternative is to cut off the old ones, and fit new terminals.

Battery sizes shouldn't be an issue. You can pick up plenty of equivalent sized batteries around here. Don't need to be as small as the stock battery either.

you should talk to wrxhoon and see if he can sort you out, good seller and a nice guy to boot.

Spot on the money razor. Most jap cars (not the aussie delivered ones like camrys) used the small terminals. Hop down to battery world, and most batteries come in big or small terminal.

We're not in the ice age anymore where bogan terminal batts are the only thing on sale. NRMA usually have big terminal ones, but i'm suprised they dind't at least have some small terminal ones. Maybe they did, but they weren't big enough interms of cca.

At b82rz world, they have massive cca in small terminals. Look for amaron batteries - silver calcium low maintenance (maint free but not full sealed - no good for r33 in the boot) but they're a great battery.
