Maximas are notorious for developing poor or corroded connections over time, especially in corrosive climates. All you are doing with this mod is improving ground connections, with redundancy over stock. A few extra cheap battery cables bought at Wal-mart will do the same thing.
One other thing: Ground loop effects can negatively affect electronic components, but it all depends on how the car is built. Until I see a dyno sheet proving this helps, I would not waste my time and $$$. I might check all my existing connnections if I felt my car was not running properly due to a poor connection though. Simply clamping on booster cables from the engine to a bare frame will let me know if a poor connection is the cause.

Does anybody have these pics saved, by any chance??.. since it's like a year later, the album is understandably gone..
thanks

i'm a beleiver in this mod for one noticeable reason, the stock ground points on the Max is coevered by paint so there is a struggle at the ground points. I went to all ground points in the engine bay and sracthed the paint off and cleaned corrsoion off the ends of the wires. I even cleaned the starter ground for fun. At idle, my headlight no longer dims or when I hit the brakes. I also regrounded the MAF sensor to another point on the chasis.
