Like I said in my previous post, all you have to do is go to the fix-it aisle at the parts store, get a universal terminal end for $4.00. Undo the bolt that held the piece of chit on, clean, apply terminal protection spray ($3.00 a can at Walmart), install new terminal and no more worries. Why replace the whole thing if it ain't broke?
As far as Nissan Tech goes, I don't blame him for being offended by some of the posts on here. He doesn't have to give advice to anyone, especially someone with an attitude. He takes pride in his work just like the rest of us hard working, underpaid Americans! I find his advice very helpful and I appreciate all the advice I get from this site. Face it, whenever you have to put out money for any type of repair, it's going to piss you off. Weather you have a "stealership" or Back Yard Bob do the work. At least I know that someone who specializes in Nissan is probably more qualified than your buddy who'll do the work for a case of beer.
Yep, that is definitely one way to do it. I will be replacing the POS copper ring on the distribution block with a heavier duty item. The question at hand is why Nissan put such a
shitty piece on the vehicle to begin with. Ad as far as Nissan Tech goes, he is entitled to his opinion. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need you sticking up for him, and this was never about him anyway. I still maintain that postitive battery clamp was woefully inadequate for anything but a Sears riding lawn mower and had no business on a vehicle like the X. If he wants to jump in and presume he knows how I take care of my vehicles and then lay blame on me for, well, fuck him if he can't take a joke. Same for you. Now go clean your battery terminal and STFU. Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities, I know it's probably socially challenging to drive a pink car.
