JF01 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi, Might be a dumb question but is there a standard size of Battery for the 350? My car wouldn't start at all and the AA guy told me the garage had fitted a battery that would've been lucky to start a Micra Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 JDM batteries are smaller but it is possibel to fit a normal size one with a small amount of work see here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ht=battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zummertor Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 just do what Lomoto did Too easy that Mike It did seem an easy fix when I read it, more economical as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I just clicked that link thinking this will be another Tim'ism that will be too hard for me to do if ever I need one but I am shocked at the simplicity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF01 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hmmm..... sorry, I wasn't clear enough. Did try that. Just wanted something a bit more heavy duty but struggled to find it. Sorted for the time being with another crappy wee Jap one at least. Thanks for your halp. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_watson Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi, I have a JDM and my battery packed in at the start of the year. I bought a standard UK Z Battery from my local Nissan garage (North East Scotland) foolishly assuming it would be more or less a straight swap! Upon attempting the replacement, the new battery was too big for the space left by the old one, so i took it into the same Nissan garage who made space for the new battery as well as replacing the posts to connect it and all was good. I dont know if i was just lucky that my local Nissan garage knew how to do the business (you mentioned that your local Nissan garage didnt manage), but it is definitely possible with the correct know-how to fit a bulky standard UK Z Battery into the area left by the titchy JDM battery.
