I've got no pics, but its pretty easy.

Either tap into a battery source, or run a wire to the battery + terminal.

Use that wire to power both the gated side of a naturally open relay (Nissan Green or Blue relay). Run a wire from an ignition switched circuit (the Black/Red wire running near the fusebox works well) to the coil side. Ground out the other side of the coil. This will complete the relay's gated circuit when the car is switched on.

Now you can run the other side of the gated circuit to your coil packs.

The easier solution most people do over here is tap the coil pack supply into the black/red wire. It's the defacto standard, but I prefer to relay the coil pack power and give them their own standalone power circuit.

So easy even I could do it.
