question about battery install
Howdy folks, may be kind of a dumb question, but I bought a new battery for my '07 Z today from the local Nissan dealer. This is the 3rd battery the car has had since it was new; last one was installed while at the dealer about 4 yrs ago.
I just wondered if there are any potential issues when disconnecting the cables/install of new battery? I've changed out several batteries on past vehicles myself, but never on the Z; I have uprev tuning and wondered if the disconnection would have any effect on my tune, etc. Thanks for any info. or suggestions before I change it out tomorrow.

OR, as I did most recently to swap the battery, I just used my "Miracle Box" (booster-device charger doomahickey) to keep the sys energized while removing the terminals.
Gotta be careful though.... I wrapped each side in a rag just to make sure I didn't weld my watch or wedding ring to the car. Laff...
Semi-related sidenote: when my wife gave me that boost-box for Christmas '15, I came to the realization that all of the tools I was buying/procuring of late came in genuine real faux simulated naugahyde-like leather zipper cases. Two OBD scanners, Mercedes scanner, tuning tools/cables, this boost box and even the several remotes for my car's various stuff (none of which I use). Who needs ratchet wrenches anymore?

Still is a tight squeeze swapping the batteries out. * I miss the old days when everything under the hood was easy access hehe!
