Treybleed Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Hello people! Now as the temperatures have dipped quite a bit I'm having trouble starting the fairlady on them stupidly cold days, so thinking of converting and getting a big ol UK battery. Did some tests and my current 48mh 430CCA halfords battery currently hits about 9.3- 9.5V sometimes 10V (on a warm ish morning) when cranking, so its really struggling. (sits at 12.2V before cranking) I can buy a UK battery tray no problems, but where can I get hold of the UK terminals? Any car? Does anyone know where in Hampshire you can get these rewired? Any kind of garage? Nissan Dealership? Quote
Jay84 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Is it the terminal clamps you need? A company called whatnot make universal ones, you can get them from euro, pages the parts alliance etc. Quote
jumping350 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 ive done this on mine alex on here might have some the uk battery is a tight fit but will go in. i got all the fuses etc with my clamps making swapping over a bit easier Quote
Notch Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I will probably be looking to do this at some point too, any pointers / problems you come across would be much appreciated! Quote
Treybleed Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Cool so I can buy universal clamps ! What sort of places did you go to get them fitted ? Quote
jumping350 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 im not sure on universal clamps but got genuine used UK 350z ones from Alex on here, I fitted it myself pretty straight forward IMO a couple of big connectors for fuse link and a few bolts to undo and redo up for actual terminals, if your not comfortable with that though definately get an auto electrician to do it or your local trusted garage , 1 Quote
Treybleed Posted January 20, 2017 Author Posted January 20, 2017 Good shout! i've pm'ed Alex and hope he has some used UK ones! Cheers for the help everyone! Quote
