Battery Cable Disconnecting.
 

Every once in a while my car completely dies... I found that its because apparently the battery cables/terminals are coming loose...

They are tightened to their full potential but come loose easily...

Are these things easily replaceable? or should I take it to the mechanic, and how much would I be looking at?

Also on a side note, how much should I expect to pay for brake job? Dealership is asking for around $400 per axle? wtf?

You can get lead caps that go on the posts. I had to do this when I put in my Optima battery.

You can also easily make some copper shims out of home plumbing pipe. I've done this several times in the past.

It sounds like they were over-tightened somewhere along the way. Use a torque wrench if you are not sure how to tighten properly (specs should be in FSM).

Search the web for "370Z battery cable". If you want a Nissan-branded replacement, check Courtesy Parts or one of the other online Nissan dealers.

I figured something like this existed, just never had this problem before, thanks.

Pretty much any auto parts store has them. Very cheap.

Do it yourself. That's highway robbery, and it's an easy DIY.

He need new battery because cable is loose? That not make sense.
