Hey, I picked up a grounding kit for my 4th gen but no instructions on what points specifically to attach to. I could guess, but I'd rather not. Can you guys help me out or point to a how to? Thanks.

I remember putting a post on the subject on Maxima.org with photos. I'll look for it.

But, basically, you hook them up, daisy-chain style (like stringing Xmas lights on a tree):

Your first wire will go from the negative terminal on your battery to a screw on the right side of the frame (to the right of the fuse box).

Then, from there, the 2nd wire connects to the outside of your transmission.

From the transmission, the next wire will go to one of the screws on the valve cover.

From the valve cover, you'll hook the next wire to a screw right next to the filler pipe for your washer fluid.

There is a second screw near the previous one to which you'll hook one end of the 5th wire, and then attach it to the bracket that supports the spark plug wires (or any one that is attached to the block).

Anything close to this arrangement will work.

Be sure to use some sandpaper oir steel wool to clean off the areas where the wirees connect to ensure good contacts.
