How to relocate your battery!

A quick how to relocate your car battery into the trunk followed by some typical vlog nonsense!
Check out where I was able to grab some metal for CHEAP! logansteel.com/...

[@devonteherring662]

Just looking for different ways that people mount their battery's and I stumbled across a throwback! It's crazy to see the progression from 4 years. 👌🏽

[@filipgorecki1373]

Agreed 6 year update here 😂

[@RottenTomahoken]

Went straight chisfix there my boi

[@developmentdivision122]

hey guys jimmy oakes here

[@TXCrash023]

Relocating my trunk in the rear lol 35sec.

[@HQBeats]

I think i will relocate my 300zx one aswell lol

[@rageagainstthetoymachine2410]

now I know why some super cars have trunks in the front, its so people like jimmy can relocate them to the back.

[@PsBuddha562]

RageAgainstTheToyMachine LMFAO

[@claycollins8973]

See this is what people want to see, simple clear explanation and working with your hands. So many youtubers lose that and think people want to see over exaggerating happiness and crazy stuff and constant racing... No that gets old fast. Keep it up Jimmy! Love all your vids bro, take it sleazy and stay safe man

[@claycollins8973]

Also I honestly like the old top one with the big Silvia letters, just looks way cleaner

[@HoZyVN]

Should fuse the battery terminal so if there is a short anywhere from the motor to the trunk that blows and doesn't turn into a 20ft glowing red hot wire of fire, especially being in a drift car where anything is possible.

[@thatsubieguy2233]

You need a pretty big fuse for that

[@bmbgarage3405]

HoZyVN only need a fuse that's a little bigger than the alt can output eg: 80 amp alt 90-100 amp fuse. I have a secondary battery in the back of my car for my audio system and I have two fuses on the cross over wire, one on each end

[@thatsubieguy2233]

Teegan Cathcart I've heard people having problems with the fuse burning when they're starting the car

[@thehellfox3423]

@thatsubieguy just use a circuit breaker

[@alwynneveling7676]

I hope you get big man, much more helpful and a better human being than most other KZbinrs.

[@ltdan7299]

I'm so glad you do stuff legit. Instead of just throwing self tappers in, you make it look good and even. Great content bro! Keep it up

[@SDSBBQs]

Way to upload EARLY in the day. Check you out being all productive!

[@Diccheese]

Big letter grill. It just looks newer/cleaner idk

[@murderedjku]

Nathan Hostetter agreed..i personally don't like the color of the small letter.it wouldn't mesh with the look of the car that great either.

[@jasonkmills]

if he cleans the small letter it looks well made

[@misterphiluk]

100 AMP breaker required incase the cable shorts out. Especially being cable tied to the fuel and brake lines.

[@isaacrubio9821]

0:35 "relocating my trunk in the rear" 😂😂😂

[@BCs300z]

Great vid for a DIY. If relocation is not your thing, I recommend Braille Battery. Less than HALF the size of OEM and just as powerful. Made for racing & tight space. I ran the 17lb in my SR20 S14 and currently run the 21lb in my RB26 Z32. Amazing batteries

[@marccarter5211]

Big Letter SILVIA

[@pguth98]

Big Money Salvia

[@ollieredick]

Bounced on my boy's D to this one for hours

[@RockabillyRambler]

MyName IsOllie obama turned the frogs gay AND POST

[@bam090793]

You may want to add a inline ANL fuse at the battery in the rear, power wire under the car always sketches me out.

[@doncooley3250]

Big letter grill, silvia reppin!

[@ZeroTheCrooked]

I love Jimmy

[@DaGhafouri]

Stoked on this video. I've been wanting to relocate my battery but never saw a in depth video untill now. Keep up the good work.

[@Socalsayten6six6]

Big letter !!

[@jonathandavies5069]

Big letter Silvia for sure

[@Machivell2]

Nice how to Jim. I will also add the the install an inline fuse camp. Very clean battery tie down. Thumbs up.

[@Wajjajagg]

Man u kick ass i’m building a prerunner & working on a bed cage & have 0 room in the bay so this helped so much thank you!!!!!!

[@mikeshiddenplace1540]

Small letter with this yellowish tint, oldschool japanese for the win!

[@WmSDmSPrS3]

Fuck whoever 👎🏼 Jimmy's videos! This dude seams to be the most genuine of the CT car KZbinrs. Keep up the good shitz Jimmy!

[@SupraSrbin]

Awesome video man! Great how-to. I'm excited to get mine done now with a similar custom battery box in my 2JZ S13.

[@domainjester]

Great, useful video Jimmy - thanks ...and BIG letter Silvia - the smaller one looks yellowed to me

[@wangstafro]

at least 100amp fused inline circuit breaker within 12 inches of the positive terminal and its best to use a distribution block in the engine bay instead of wiring it all together like that.

[@carlo_thelandscaper]

Jimmy the goat! Such simple videos yet still interesting to watch

[@codybersicc7939]

*you sound much more professional when you dont force a laugh after every sentence jimmy. good work bro*

[@JimmyOakes]

cody bersick it's not forced I'm just like that 😪🤦🏻‍♂️

[@themrsaturn110]

Jimmy Oakes man I do the same thing, I know the feels.

[@GoSlowOrGoHard]

I'm hyped you made this video. Been wanting to do this to my coupe before I go KA-T. Now I have some guidance. Thanks

[@porchmonkey2835]

small letter grill looks better in my opinion however i feel it woukd look even better with a clear lense not the tinted/faded one..

[@LucidiousMaximus]

Good video dude. Thank you for being more in depth about the process!! Going to install mine this weekend on the sil80!

[@WeaselBurrito]

BMW battery cable from a 5 series or larger (just because of length). Preferably on 1/2 price day. I think I paid $15 for mine.

[@thenewnormal8853]

WeaselBurrito Yup... And you can still retain a place to jump from under the hood

[@antparker5190]

Big letter grill just buff some of the yellow out.

[@itscroc_]

0:35 "I'm gonna relocate my trunk in the rear" sure Jimmy😂

[@EH-sp9wl]

Good how to jimmy. Very chris fix of you. Also, big letter grill looks cleaner.

[@AbsoluteBeaut17]

Big letter Silvia for sure! cant wait to see the fitment with new fenders and spacers ;)

[@braydensdeals]

You did that battery relocation Perfectly.. just missed one thing.It should be fused with a inline fuse about 6" from the battery.

[@Halifox2010]

what amp fuse is best to run for this setup?

[@johnebuckland]

Austin Crissman find out how many amps your alternator is and use a fuse slightly larger. If your using 2guahe like him, i wouldnt ise any bigger than 200amp fuses. Fuse at front and at back.

[@Halifox2010]

John Buckland thanks man!

[@سالكينالياللهالدرب]

What are the benefits to you from this? How much diameter of the positive wire? Do you connect the near negative wire of the engine in the car body?

[@kungensfru]

big silvia letter one!!

[@Dumii_]

Definitely big letter, looks so clean. Also wanna see what are the rare parts.

[@ImuhMusician]

Did you use a breaker on the positive cable? Most people seem to do so when doing the relocation and I'm trying to figure out why.

[@Maddogkv1]

You just saved me soooooo much money. Thank You Mr.Oakes.

[@michael_graper]

Haha you should have made this video a few months ago for Evan shanks, I dont know how well that plastic weld works but I would worry about moisture getting in the headlight

[@suicidewashsquad1146]

It's actually easy to run the welding wire for relocating inside a s13 under the interior panels, and it doesn't push up on interior or anything all you have to do is run the wire with the stock wires along the side of the car like I always have on S chassis or any car.

[@devxnt8806]

as a bass head this is actually very good work

[@blakemiller9104]

JImmy has had quite the glow up

[@alluvz2fish]

What do you do with the original (-) battery cable that was hooked up to the battery when it was in the front?

[@PianoMan5000]

Dude I’m wondering the same.does it get grounded back to the chassis?

[@TheFz125]

Big letter Silvia

[@XenoSeven86]

Pick-N-pull any Charger, Magnum, or 300C they have trunk mounted battery’s. The cable is like $6.99 with all OEM fittings. Your welcome lol

[@suicidewashsquad1146]

Jimmy the big letter looks better, what I've seen some friends do what's a little Grill Silvia is taken apart and pit LED lights where it says Silvia to make them look better.

[@kevinmontoya7318]

I recommend metal zip ties if your resorting to zip ties in general, they last longer and they are metal

[@korosuchimu1479]

Optima they are small you can mount them on there side in the middle under the package tray. For better weight distribution.

[@naiahhaian]

Thanks for the videos Jimmy ! Keep it up

[@Backyardbuilder]

Interesting quick video. Be careful with the gauge of the wire 2 Ga is ok but it depends on the amps you are pulling. It is also recommended to put the battery in enclosed vented case.

[@randomhero1797]

Also fyi a good battery relocation kit is just an E36 battry cable. I learned that from Tommy

[@papameech176]

Can we get Yung tuck stickers asap

[@intrxvertt5995]

duh i would buy em

[@Iveko]

dude your content is lit

[@jessecortes7250]

Big letter because it's looks better but I'll buy that small letter one if you don't need it!

[@TMVinyl]

Clean install jimmy :)

[@iTroIIin]

Brick Headlights?! They'd suit your car

[@peterscott4597]

Use the BIG Silvia. Stands out better and looks bolder as well.

[@SmitherinesRacing]

Digging up an old vid, but i'm running my new starter cable from bat in boot for the Nexus R5.. Hard to get ideas on how others have installed and ran the wiring.

[@JokerFromHell]

Im just gonna repeat myself till Jimmy notices it... You need a dope intro for your dope video's dude!

[@Collemeister]

finally a new video!

[@nicholasrobinson9518]

cover your positive terminal so if anything ever goes wrong, it doesn't short to the chassis!

[@supitszach11]

Awesome videos Jimmy! Love all your content!

[@kingp00]

You need to cover that positive terminal in case you put something in your trunk and it moved while driving and shorts out. I've seen cars catch fire. +1 on all the comments about installing a fuse too. A circuit breaker would work also.

[@THERIPPER216]

Keep the big letter grill man it looks better and cleaner

[@fallenbullseye]

NICE! A REALLY COOL AND EASY DIY!

[@Coda5610]

Big letter Silvia!

[@Grainsauce]

I used that same bolt to ground my battery in my 240, did you ever run into battery drain issues, when I have it grounded where you did it drains the battery in a few days, brand new optima agm battery also.

[@CarlosJose-yw4mj]

small letter Silvia it is a little yellowish and looks amazing... oldschool japanese

[@guestguest]

Seeing this vid for the first time since you posted it 7 years ago. So how did it hold up without a fuse? Did you eventually add one or still no fuse?

[@thenewnormal8853]

No hate intended but I would never run my battery cable underneath especially on a drift car. You should run a breaker or a fuse for sure

[@LikeButtahApparel]

Rare parts for the interior maybe🤔

[@EvilSpeedRacer]

Hey Jimmy - I wouldn't have a problem running a gel cell battery inside the car, but those venting type aren't exactly awesome to be riding with sir.

[@EuroTrashLife]

Big letter, also less faded it seems

[@BlacklistedGarage]

Great vid big letter

[@271production]

Coat the terminals in some petroleum jelly. Its conductive and prevents corrosion

[@MegaUltimatemonkey]

The big letter "grill" i looks more aggressive, and would suit the build more, my rare parts guess, might be Nismo stuff? but you said the only thing Silvia left is the hood so maybe more oem parts? p.s love the videos, keep em coming :)

[@sneak916]

I think you're getting ganador side mirrors😍

[@adameal1]

Don't you need make a vent for the battery... the hydrocarbons emission from the battery discharging? Use a battery that is made for interior mounting. My dodge charger battery is in the trunk, and has a vent tube from the factory.

[@BlazebeatRacing]

Did you vent the battery??

[@chrislarpthaveesarp]

Neither grill. GTR grill for the win! Also is there a write up for your hydro e-brake set up?

[@joshforsyth8831]

Yew! Loving the videos boys! Keep it up.

[@Rednov93]

BIG LETTER SILVIA JIMMY!

[@parker3127]

Big letter🔥

[@hyphyboykev9987]

"Relocating my trunk in the rear" 😂😂😂

[@TurboEmil]

Honestly like the old school look of the smaller one

[@kadeemeiland]

Lol judging by all the comments I might be the only one here, but I really dig the smaller letter silvia grill.

[@IHAIDJII]

What about putting battery on carpet?, heard it recreates static electricity

[@aliveandfree5412]

Only the millionth video on relocating a battery. Still good vid. Get some wheelies in already

[@bgpimpn311]

No fuse or a Circuit breaker next to the battery? To be more safer I would.

[@joshuarivera2036]

0:02 looks like Kyle from boosted Boiz sent you his ping pong hat 😂😂

[@jordanp6420]

Should put a circuit breaker as close to the battery as possible, if there's a short you won't literally explode your battery and or fire.

[@tynansl1]

ive seen a battery blow threw a plastic box because the guy was drifting and their was some extra room in the box

[@Jussakook]

I used the "plastiweld" to fix my otter box. 3 months holding

[@JasonCabrera]

You didn’t use a fuse ?

[@Bull_Schmidt]

Small letter Silvia if you can make it less yellow

[@ashleyrobinson1428]

wont you need to put a cover on the positve to pass tech?
