Bigger Battery Terminals/clamp

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?

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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
