Hi, 

I was sold a small dud battery for my VQ35 and keep having odd electrical issues.

The battery has since died.

I would like to know the best make/model battery to use in my car please?

It's stock with only a non genuine immobiliser fitted.

The Alternator is outputting 13+volts.

I only use Century. Back in the day I used to specify proper Century Yuasa, made in Japan. But the Aussie made Century batteries are perfectly acceptable.

Even the Supercharge type stuff is fine.

Expect most batteries to only last 5 - 7 years regardless of what you buy, unless truly shit quality.

Thanks but in Darwin they reduce the warranty to 1yr due to the heat destroying them.

if you get more than 2 years out of a battery up here you're lucky.

What is the model/part number of the battery you used?

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
