R34 Battery Pics Needed

Recently went to a track day and came to discover after stopping on the way back that the battery had become disconnected. Luckily there was someone there to help me out big time (Matt from F&E).

The previous owner of the car put in a battery that is too high, and didn't reattach the harness properly.

Can someone post up some pics of what their battery harness looks like in an R34. I assume it’s the same in a GT-T and GTR.

Also, I have seen posts about which batteries to use, but can you note what battery you have in your car.

Thanks for any help.

^^^love the plywood and ducktape.

I have an odyssey LB1200 in mine, but will be replacing very shortly (the LB is dead) with an odyssey PC925 or PC1200. I beleive they both fit.

I also have a bracket over the top of the battery holding it in place. Not sure if thats standard but if i get time i'll snap some pics after work.

Yeah but its always been like that and its almost impossible for it to move given there is no slack in the leads (needed a hammer to get the plugs on the terminals). Timber was put in for something to bolt the amp onto and duct tape to hold it in place.

Hope these help:

Thanks for the pics.

The probelm I had with my battery was that the terminal came loose while I was driving, so I need to change the connector or the battery or both. I've got a harness too, so I want to use that with the new battery to secure it.

There's only one screw on the inner side of the battery, and I don't know how the toher side is secured. I guess something is missing. Will have to take the whole back plate and strut out to have a squiz.

Been calling around a few places and a few recommend odyssey because they are fairly small but still powerful enough.

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
