Hey this might seem like a stupid question but I wanna do it right so thats why im asking opinions.

I just bought a new pulse battery...Its pretty decent and has brass terminals that screw up and down.

Should I cut off my metal connectors on my positive and negative wires and wrap the wires under and around the brass terminals or should I just put the connectors straight over the brass terminals. Not sure about the 2nd option as my connectors are too big for the brass terminals. Any suggestions please??????

Thanks in advance

put the proper connectors on, if you try and do it the dodgy way then it will cause you grief in the long run, with your connectors being too big, how much bigger are they? if its only a little bit then it'll be ok, if its loads bigger then read first part of message :)

you should be able to put the stock ones on...just stretch them open abit till they fit. worked for me.
He said the the clamps are too big for the battery. So no need to stretch them!

FSTR32 - you should just get a battery with the correct sized posts - problem solved!

Problem solved. Bought some smaller battery connectors from autobarn, removed old connectors, stripped back wire and welded wire to new connectors. Probably should have done that first before I posted but I had a mental blank as to how to approach it. cheers for advice

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
