How-to install Ground Wire kit?

<i>Note: I'm installing a set of Stillen ground wires on a 6MT for the purposes of beautification and entertainment, so let's not spiral into a debate on their technical merits or performance-enhancing properties or lack thereof!</i>

Can anyone post or direct me to instructions/pics on how to correctly place the grounding wires? I realize it's probably obvious, but I'm not mechanically inclined. I don't want to screw anything up! I've searched but can't find instructions/pics--just discussions on whether they work and some broken image links. Thanks in advance!

The instructions in my HKS kit were worthless unless I was born under palms of Mt. Fugi. It was really simple once I looked around a little under the plenum cover. Here are some shots I took of my installation: http://photobucket.com/albums/v663/ZMercman/?start=0 Have fun!

I have a 8 wire kit and have no idea where to hook the points. Well, I have some idea, of course. There are some obvious places, but not 8. Where did you hook yours?

You mean to say you bought the Stillen ground wire kit and it did not come with instructions? What a POS! You should have bought Gordons GroundingGear kit. It comes with detailed instructions along with pics of how to install. I sort of expected more from Stillen. Everything I have bought from them came with instructions.......

The Stillen kit does come with a short instruction. It's useful because the mounting points given by Stillen are a bit different than the usual installation of other kits (one point deep down beside the engine) and the wires are so short that you cannot install it any other way (especially the right side).

If you go to 350ztech.com, the main page has a pic of a 350z engine bay with the 5 wire set.

i would consider myself to be a complete noob when it comes to stuff like this. gordgee's grounding gear came with very detailed instructions along with several useful and big photos of where the grounding points should be.

No instructions with my Stillen kit

Unfortunately I didn't hear of Gordon's GroundingGear prior to my purchase. My Stillen kit came in a vaccuum pack with no instructions. I'll call tomorrow and see if they have anything they can send me...
