Finally decided to replace my main ground for the battery relocation. It was originally under the mount bracket for the scissor jack in that little pocket, but with mega shitty crimp terminals and basically to body sheet metal.
Started by popping off that little cap to reveal the bolt to the bumper support. Removed the bolt to find the tacked in nut no longer attached and the threads on nut and bolt are both just mangled to hell… Went to Lowes and ended up with a 6 inch 3/8-16 threaded rod and various nuts and washers. Have a nylock nut underneath, then a flanged lock nut to sandwich that. Drilled a hole in the cap to seal it back up, then ran down another nylock nut and sandwiched the new KnuKoncepts terminal. Cut off about 2″ of excess threads and she’s good to go! (Need to get one of those battery terminal covers).
I’ll slowly but surely redo the others and add grounds in the front!

Battery relocation complete. More space for fun spinny things. Still a couple clean up things to do and maybe replacing the fuse with a circuit breaker later but she coming together.

I get asked about this frequently. These vehicles are extremely sensitive when it comes to adding accessories to the battery, even with a factory alternator that ranges from 130 to 160 amps depending on the brand. Upgrading the “Big 3” components of the electrical system is crucial for accommodating additional add-ons such as air suspension, stereo systems, underglow, interior lights, and more.
We offer pre-made Big 3 kits specifically designed for these cars, including the dealer for JS Alternators. Today, we completed one of these installations (with unlimited color options available) using the customer’s existing setup and enhancing it with a Big 3 upgrade to prevent power drops. This upgrade is beneficial not only for aftermarket setups but also for maintaining the health of the battery and alternator in factory configurations.

I just installed this little LED Battery Voltage Display Reader on my Infiniti FX35. In order to test or check the battery, you normally have to pop open the plastic cover for it. This makes it easier for me to check the actual battery itself and confirm the voltage reading.

Got the front done for the battery relocation.Left wires a bit long a little disorganized because this isn’t the forever version. I’m going to fab a solid bar to replace small wire from the factory bundle to the distribution block. I will likely replace that distro block with a T-Spec as well. Not that this Amazon clone is bad I be just already a T-Spec one for the rear.
