Hi Guys,

My son's recently bought 2000 R34 GT-T sedan came with a puny second hand battery but I want to get a new quality replacement.

The battery finders of most manufacturers only list a 1990 on, being a NS40ZL or ZLX which are only 330 CCA so I just wanted to check if this is OK.

Thanks in advance for any help, Mark.

Biggest problem with the standard steup if finding larger capacity batteries with the small type terminals but they are available - I found a 450CCA "Supercharge Gold EXG" brand, model MF55B24R from a specialist battery shop, which you won't find at you Repco or Supercheap which only sell around a 300CCA with the small terminals (to suit Nissan Micra's and the like). Whilst the 450CCA battery is wider between the terminals it was no longer and about the same height so the original clamp still fits.

Had this battery for over a year now without any problems and I think it comes with 3 year warranty.

Hope this helps

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
