Oh gosh yeah sorry, this happened right before work so I was a bit scatter brained when I posted this. It's a 1983 280zx 2+2 5spd.

It's a pretty grubby cable and it's already tight but imma try to just lop off thr old terminal and bolt a new one on. The problem with the bolt that it's grounded to is that I just can't get to it! I'll post a pic when I get home. There's an aluminum coolant tube (looks like it goes to the heater core) and a metal fuel line (maybe?) in the way. I didn't look around to see what it went to. By the time I wiggle a wrench down on it there's hardly any room to move it, & I'm so contorted I can't really get enough torque on it to crack it loose

There's a coolant hose in the way- I can move the ratchet about an inch back & forth. I'll post a picture when I get back home. I'm just going to try to cut the old terminal off & clamp a new one on there instead of replacing the whole cable. From where it's at & with all the stuff in the way, it looks like it'd be easier to get to from underneath the car

So I need to replace my battery cable, and it's currently grounded to the starter. How in the heck do I get that bolt off?!?! Is there somewhere else I can ground it instead? This is my daily driver so I really need to grt this sorted. Thanks guys!
