Hey guys,

Just a quick question - When swapping over an old battery for a new one does it change any of the settings in the car? Do I need to reset anything?

My battery seems to be a little low on charge and I'm thinking of maybe buying a new one tomorrow, just don't want to take out the old one and put in a new one only to find out I did something wrong/stuffed up electrical settings.

ps. What model number is the standard battery? what model battery will fit/you guys using? - Can I buy a battery for the car from autobarn/supercheaps or do i need to go to a battery specialist? (I'm located in Adelaide)

Cheers, and I do apologise in advanced if this has already been covered, I couldn't seem to find much using google.

the battery that came with my car died a few months after i bought it. replaced it with a centurey NS60LMF battery. no problems in the 2 years since i've replaced it.

when you replace the battery your trip counter will reset to 0000, not sure if there are any other problems. but that is the only thing that i have noticed.

Cheers for that mate! looks like supercheap are a retailer so might drop by tomorrow. How much was the battery?

Just another quick one - 5mm spacers, are they safe to use? Just wanting my front wheels to come out a little bit.

Cheers guys

Cheers - went with a century NS60L.

Chris my power window motors are stuffed, after installing the battery I installed a driver side power window motor which seemed to reset itself as when I open and close the door the window drops a little as it is meant to. I read somewhere that resetting is only necessary on the g35's?

My auto up down feature works perfect, no reset needed - I believe ok jdm models when you close the door and open first time after installing motor it resets - only usdm models require reset. That being said Ive also heard some jdm models require reset so don't really know :S maybe I was just lucky and it reset itself :D

Yeah i replaced the battery on mine everything was working fine didn't have to reset the window.

Not too sure on why USDM need to reset though as you said.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
