Wesley_FR Posted November 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, I'm looking for a picture of the original/factory battery cables + and -) for the 240Z. I tried to find this information on internet but every cars i found have different cables... Also, cables are the same for all years, or they are different between series ? Thank you for your help.

Wesley_FR Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted November 11, 2020 I read this topic but... I can't confirm that is the original one... And it's only about the negative one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted November 11, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2020 That site has the positive one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zKars Posted November 12, 2020 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2020 Finally dawned on me what that black blob is on the positive cable. It a rubber cover for the terminal. Now I have find some that fit the terminals I bought to do this right(er). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240dkw Posted November 12, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 12, 2020 I had a set of cables that the "blobs" were still on, but the ends were replaced with straight generic ones. This is what I did to make them more right(er). I used the covers as a mold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanTechZ Posted November 12, 2020 Share #9 Posted November 12, 2020 Here are some pictures of the original cables from my 7/70 240Z. @240dkw Hey Dan, I thought that only the positive terminal connector that the "blob" and the negative one was uncovered.

240dkw Posted November 12, 2020 Share #10 Posted November 12, 2020 Well, that could very well be. I used stuff that was in my pile of parts. I do not recall if they both were on positive cables or one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanTechZ Posted November 12, 2020 Share #11 Posted November 12, 2020 Definitely nothing wrong with having two. Here is a picture from a 1970 brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted November 15, 2020 Share #12 Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I realized I have one good original negative cable on the new to me 71 I just picked up. Now “we” need one of those original blobs to use to make reproduction blobs.... I’ve taken detailed measurements of the cable, lugs, wires etc. Finding the very heavy lugs that Nissan used is going to be a challenge in todays cheap crap marketplace. The big cable lug is a brass or copper monster made with 2mm thick metal and has a lovely crimped connection done with a serious tool.
