Very good intructions ... keep up the good work ..

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@barbarathebasin9888]

missed 350z videos on this channel, this got me excited!

[@AnthonyJ350]

We started doing 350Z videos again, so stay tuned!

[@LegendNoah]

too hard i ended up connecting the battery to my rear left tire and now my car drives very bumpy

[@AnthonyJ350]

I guess you could.... but not really.

[@ThatBamaDude14]

This was by far the most difficult battery change I've ever done. I can't imagine doing mechanical work on this thing!

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's a little tucked away, that's for sure. But you got it done!

[@mr.mopedmadness3441]

Try a Dodge Stratus lmao, the batteries are tucked way in the fender, the 350z is actually fairly easy to work on, just a few clips and your to the battery, you can buy bags of 100 new clips for the z for less than $10 online so don't be afraid to break or loose them 👍

[@DEATHWISHVQ]

it’s super easy.

[@warwickwas]

Yeah, I'm doing it now. It's the first battery change I have ever done where you have to take out/loosen many other bits. Designed by a four-year-old.

[@vidarg75]

I can't say I remember you making and installing that trickle charger cable and plug thingy. If you filmed it and posted​ it, can you please paste in the link?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Vidar G I haven't made a video for that yet. I'll try to make one.

[@vidarg75]

Too bad you didn't make a video so we could've watched your wire works. I like your wires. :-) If you do make a short video, that would be awesome. Maybe it's no more advanced than just two wires (gauge?) tapped off of each battery terminal's wires? I think a lot of people with cars they don't drive often would benefit for a quick way to connect a trickle charger. I sure need to start using one. I've a cute German car that keeps draining and then killing batteries while it sits still. (No big drains and alternator put out what it should. It just sits too much alone and talks to itself via the can bus and slowly drains the battery.)

[@keithsimpson8442]

great Video thanks very much, Had my 350 Z 3 years always charge it, at this time of year, but still wouldnt start im guessing it just wont accept charge, so need to replace it, Thanks for the Video.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Awesome, glad to hear the video helped you!

[@mr.mopedmadness3441]

Try XS power batteries 😁 I got a group 51 which is 3 less width than a group 35 with 870 cranking amps at 32 deg. I got er in the mail holding a 12.97 v charge 👍

[@AnthonyJ350]

How much was it?

[@j35sa]

How did you wire up your trickle charger quick connect? Was it just the ring terminals to the + and - terminals?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Correct, just ring terminals and the positive lead is fused.

[@mrmarketcap]

Nicely done!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thank you!

[@shadowsrc12]

I’m getting a code on my car and one of the causes could be the ecm not getting enough battery power at 12.11 volts, hopefully this fixes it

[@AnthonyJ350]

Let us know how it works out. You can do this after as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5y6dKSJm9dpn8k

[@mueber0513]

Would have been nice if Nissan had put it in the trunk, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It would for weight transfer. But it would kill the trunk space, raise the cost due to more copper and servicing it in the convertible version of the car would be extremely difficult.

[@peterkoffmw9755]

Strange 350Z 2003 problem. Suddenly, certain electrical issues. Fob is not working ( I do know fob is OK). Clock doesn't advance; I can set it but the time stays where it was set. Radio works and I can change stations but it doesn't pick up any stations. It's as if the antenna is disconnected. All these problems surfaced at the same time. Any ideas? Could it be grounding, rats?

[@AnthonyJ350]

What's the standing voltage of the car battery with everything off?

[@nick9208]

I’m having same issue with my 2003 as well. Standing voltage with everything off is like 12.5.

[@ZeonZakuBrigade]

The link for the push pins isn’t working, which would you recommend?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Amazon

[@nachopen]

Hello Anthony, how do you keep your plenum that clean? Mine gets dirty itself very easily, I think it might be because of oil evaporation or something... I'm worried.

[@AnthonyJ350]

When was the last time the PCV valve was changed. Also running a catch can is a good idea.

[@akoust1c]

Great stuff thanks!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for watching!

[@sanjeshprasad7120]

What size battery is recommended

[@AnthonyJ350]

The biggest one you can fit in that tray.

[@upvccomau]

A tutorial for the V35 Skyline said to disconnect the negative first & then connect it first, otherwise you have a chance of damaging the internal CPU! Windows, AC, lights... Is this something you know about by any chance?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I can understand the rational. In aftermarket wiring they always want ground hooked up first when doing connections, to avoid pulling ground from another circuit to not damage anything. I would just follow what your specific owner's or service manual states.

[@AnthonyJ350]

[@clownstown]

So you should put anti-corrosion gel on the terminals(9:12) before you hook it up? You wiped it off in the beginning and I was confused.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I will clean the terminals with the battery terminal cleaner, which is basically just a wire brush, then I follow up with a thin layer of dielectric.

[@Niglo2Mort]

Du travail très soigné vraiment très bien bravo

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thank you!

[@johann1161]

Do you have to put the positive first and then negative??

[@AnthonyJ350]

That's how I do it

[@jongandy6732]

Anthonyj350 did I miss your fusible link and trickle charger connector install?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can check my how to a second battery video. There is a fuseable link from factory on the car.

[@atzael1320]

a friend told me to disconnect positive first, i did and when using the wrench to take off battery sparks flew

[@AnthonyJ350]

Probably because you touched ground (a part near by) when doing so. Negative is easier because if you touch other metal parts with your wrench, nothing happens because it's already ground.

[@leo730kam1]

Thank you

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad it helped!

[@rickyymunoz]

The battery that is currently on my G has no handle so it’s a pain in the ass to get out can’t get any grip on the damn thing haha

[@AnthonyJ350]

Time to upgrade to Northstar.

[@somerandomguy4130]

Am I the only one having trouble taking out the negative terminal bolt? Last owner tightened it too much so I can’t get the socket in all the way I kinda stripped it in my struggle of taking it out now idk what to do

[@somerandomguy4130]

Please help I don’t want to strip it more I’m using a 10mm

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can try lightly tapping the socket on with a hammer.

[@bengus8148]

I have a G35 that has been in storage and not started for over two years. I'm going to drop a new batt in but thinking maybe pulling the fuel fuse and cranking it intermittently for a bit to get some oil up top and dumping in a quart or two. This is a 2006 G35,anyone know where the fuse panel is or have some other ideas? Thanks!

[@adriangoodbear8304]

Fuse panel is on the driver side beneath the hood opener. Need to pop it off with a screwdriver. I have a 2005 g35x

Thanks! Changing the battery today.

bo jackson After changing the battery? No car drove the same after.

When you power your shit down the computer loses its memory and that fucks with the idle, just give it a day or two to gather new information and the computer will make its own adjustments
