...Where's the best place to get a replacement,and how much should I pay?

The Z32 engine seems to need a lot of juice to get going on these cold/damp mornings...and not using the car over Xmas seems to finally have taken it's toll.

Extrimely difficult....:-)

 

First of all, get your battery out, and measure the dimensions....and the location of the + and the - connector.

 

Mine is 17 x 26 x 20 cm

 

If possible, look on the battery the AMPERAGE for it, the stock Nissan if 70 A/h

 

Then go to your local supermarket, and get a compatible one....based on the dimentions...and the LOCATION of the PLUS and MINUS.

 

You can get an amperage between 60 to 130 A/h, would work (but I do not have a "I-want-to-be-a-PITA-to-my-neighbours-and-be-deaf-by-40" stereo in my Z

 

I just replaced mine, it lasted 4 years. Just go to your local Tyre/Battery fitter. (I used East Grinstead tyres). For £55 or so they will fit an exact replacement, mine fits like a glove.If they just loosen the back retaining nut as far as they dare and completely remove the front bolt, the old and new batteries can be exchanged easily.

I am on my third battery and they last, around four years.

I bought mine a few years back from Nissan as I didn't want to end up with a less capable clone, although I'm sure most replaceements will be fine.

 

FYI... £65 inc vat

 

"Still Going!"

 

i dont know wether costco sell the battery for the z but there batterys are cheep

 

Finally fitted new battery after getting bored with jump starting the Z everytime it gets cold/damp in the mornings(most days!).

The difference to the general running of the engine is quite noticeable...the old battery must have been well shot.

I'm suprised by the difference a new battery can make.
