I am not looking to rip off anybody's ideas that belong to their hard work. I'm just asking for information on where to connect the wires properly. I apologize if my question was taken the wrong way. I just figured I would turn to the community since there are a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people here.

Its a deeper issue then just you. Some people think their kits are "plagerized". They get into legality issues. So much that some used to not make instructions it was a local only thing.

Do a google search. Just look up basic grounding points. It should come up with ideas of where to run it then just apply it whereever you can bolt it to on that part. Hopefully this helps.

I knew there was a thread about the points somewhere around here, I was just to lazy to search for it at the time

Yeah, the majority of them are 5-wire kits.

I made my own too i just looked at picks of installed kits online and made it one wire at a time. its easy

and it works better than I expected definitely a must for auto guys


this is what I went off of but I made it a bit different, I did add a transmission ground but I didn't notice any change with that and i also used battery cable instead of that audio stuff, I wanted a stealth look and the battery cable wont turn funny colors from the heat and it also has a higher temp. resistance.

A good enough kit would be a wire from the negative terminal to the inner fender wall. Then wire the same spot to the engine block. You could also use a wire on the other side of the engine block to the other fender. I'll be making my own set later on.

Good to know, intent counts.

When i was asking my step dad who is an electrician about a grounding kit to improve car performance and stereo etc. his said BS...

He then saw how the G is grounded, with that tiny cable to the chassis and was like oh, well thats not the best ground, now it makes sense why they have to do it. I didnt have the kit, and am not going to spend $100s to get one as being a 6MT owner you dont get as much benefits.

What i did have lying around was a 200amp 90 stand welder cable.

Any current drawn through our G can make the volts increase by 1-2 if ground isn't perfect, it can lead to idle rising above ground (neg side of battery). For everything to maintain the exact right voltage, the cable is used to make sure the engine, trans, drive chain doesn't rise above earth potential of the negative terminal of battery.

I only ran one cable. Upgraded the negative earth terminal to fit my big cable and stock ground cable in:

From here it goes through the rubber seal and down the the battery side engine mount (i have 350GT so we are right hand drive = battery on left.

Hard to see but here is a large lug thats been crimped on the end of the cable and then in between the bolt of the engine mount. Under the car btw.. u gotta take off the black stone guard to see all this.

This one central location is grounding both my engine and chassis. I would not get very much more performance by doing any more grounding. Everything else links to the engine or chassis which now has the best ground....

Summary:
You need good grounding so you never get any voltage drop on the earth.
If your going to not do a whole kit and DIY, do the engine mount or block if your lazy.
