Bigger Battery Terminals/clamp

[Wingnut0021]

Hi all

So had to replace my battery so I went and got a new one specifiying that it is for a VQ35DE or 350z. The battery is a lot bigger, it still fits in place properly but the terminals are too small and the clamp isn't wide enough. I did some research and it appears that it's mainly the JDM models that have the small batteries and the local 350z and other Nissans used bigger ones.

I'm looking at http://www.thenismoshop.com/Nissan-Factory-OEM-Positive-Battery-Terminal-1999-2012--24340-7F000-_p_1026.html for the positive terminal. Should be able to just replace this one.

Cant seem to find what I need for the negative, might have to go with something aftermarket.

I'll probably get a aftermarket battery hold down clamp too.

Anyone else done this?

Not for a 35, but car stereo places usually have nice gold plated terminals.

Did find this for positive:

What I have (only picture I could find anywhere).

and what G35 and 350z has:

Looks like the second one has a bigger opening, but I cant find actual measurements.

Go to a car parts shop.

Buy what u need. Or a as close as you can get and modify it

It's not hard.
