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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
