Not sure what your asking here. Z's already have their battery located in the rear. If your moving it from there then you need to be more specific where..
If your looking to relocate your battery to the rear cubby hole from the front, you can either use GM parts which are available (may be one that's hard to find). There's about nine parts and it comes in around $400 if you use GM's battery cables.
Or you can use a few necessities from GM (i.e. vent tube, battery spacer, hold down rod, frame, and brace) along with a generic battery trey and the cost will come in around $50.
As for the battery cables ($200 from GM) just buy a set of good jumper cables. Cut the ends, solder on the correct terminals and call it a day.
You may have $75 in it depending on the quality of the jumper cables you buy.
Hope this helps or was where you were going.

I had planned on doing a battery location on my twin turbo setup, but just decided to use a Braille battery in the OEM location.
I used the Moroso Battery Cable Kit that comes with 20' of cable. If you are interested, I can make you a pretty good deal on it. I put together the negative side (block to ground) and partially assembled the positive side (starter). Can include the extra terminals I bought and the inline kill switch.

Are any of you guys using any other form of battery disconnect?
I'm a little bit worried about running all of that cable forward without some kind of protection in the event of it shorting out somehow.

I'm about to do this now too and I would also like to add a circuit breaker too, but I'm having a hard time finding anything over 150 amps rating. Summit has some nice surface-mount Bussmann circuit breakers in stock, but the highest rating they have is 150amp. Can I use one of these in the positive cable going forward, or is that too low a amperage?

Thanks Dude. That's a good idea. We have a couple of large marinas which stock a bunch of that stuff here. I'll check that out. I have Moroso 02 gage fine wire cable. I want to run it down the rocker panel too, which is why I want some short protection in the unthinkable event that it gets impacted from the side and pinches the cable in a crash. It guess it's better that we're dealing with a mostly plastic car, though, eh?
