I was wondering where do you mount the grounding wires on my Z32's VG30? Just plan on doing the wiring myself since I have many years wiring up stereo systems.

I believe I have a grounding kit at home. I'll grab the instructions and let you know where the kit recommends to put the wires.

Thanks mtcookson it seems as though you always pull through, like a master (NISSAN) guru...Just had to type it.

Not a problem, I try to help where I can.

I got the instructions and it turns out they aren't instructions but pictures instead. I don't have a color scanner here at work that I know of so I'll give a description of what's in the picture and try to scan it at home.

Looks like they are grounding to the intake manifold on a bolt near the right throttle body, on the left strut tower, at the rear of the right manifold on an existing ground, looks like another ground point near the IACV. This is for a kit from Powertrix.

I'd probably take it a step further and ground the coil packs as well, but its probably not too necessary.

Thanks again, I was reading that near injectors and coils was a good spot for one but the other spots help. One set up I saw said 7 wires???I'm gonna build it myself should be easy enough.and if you could pass the pics on it would be really appreciated

Damn I wish you were living close enough so I could check out that 91 450ZX. it's gotta haul @ss.

Crap... forgot to update that. I had to put the 450Z project on hold for a while. Need to get my daily Z running so that I can stop driving my trucks getting 20 gallons to the mile...

I'll try to get that picture up today for you.

Hey, I'm very sorry for the delay. Kept having scanner issues, then proposed on Tuesday night to my now fiancee, then more scanner issues so I finally just took some pictures of the pictures. Not the greatest quality but you should be able to see where they put the wires.
