Skyline V36 Battery

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I have the right battery for the 08 Skyline 370GT; at the moment there's a Neuton Power 85L610 12v (http://www.ktbattery.com/neuton-power/automotive/car-battery-neuton-power-85l610.html) battery installed in the car which is one year old. However, the car's 3rd party Viper security alarm keeps going off with the message “battery voltage low” whenever the car has not been started for more than 2 days or so. It will go off for a minute stop then it might go off again in 5 minutes or 4 hours. The alarm is not armed when it does this either.

I checked with compliance and also Infiniti Australia and have been told that the battery is fine and that it's pretty normal for Skyline's battery to run flat/low if it has not been started for 2/3 days. Is this correct?

Obviously going to chase if it up with the alarm system dealer soon however would appreciate if you guys can advise whether installing a different battery might stop it from running low. If so, what battery do you guys use on the V36?

Thanks in advance.

What's the actual voltage of the battery when you receive the warning? Reason why I ask is because unless you have a lot of accessories in the vehicle which draw some power even when the vehicle is off, a decent battery should be good for almost 2 weeks.

I think the general consensus is about a week but I've had mine last for two weeks before it was impossible to start. For what it's worth, I've also got an aftermarket alarm as well as a couple of amps of which neither should be drawing add much as yours may be. With that setup, I got my 2 weeks.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
