Detailed tutorial on how to relocate your battery into a hidden compartment, professionally! This tutorial is very useful for battery relocation in any car, but especially for the Datsun 280ZX (S130). This mod is ideal for serious drivers and race cars because it will give better traction to the rear. For most cars this helps with weight distribution, however S130's already have near perfect weight-distribution from factory, this may disrupt that slightly. But a minor suspension adjustment will ensure optimal performance. **Special Note: I recommend running a second negative ground to the frame close to the new battery location. I installed one a couple months later even though I had no issues with just the original ground.
Thanks for watching, I hope you find this video helpful! =)
