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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
