Grounding the Maxima
Grounding the Maxima
According to these 2 links, which directions should I follow ? I already have a few 4 guage wires.

What is the difference in the performance of those two different grounding setups?
Thanks

They both look like grounding kits to me. The difference of performance between them will probably be negligable.
I personally purcahsed 0/1 gauge knukonceptz wiring and battery connectors. I left all stock wiring in place. I "upgraded" all ground wiring first which was the most siginificant (approx 0.6 volt increase @ idle); it also included sanding all the connections, they were all corroded badly. I also did the alternator to battery wire which gave me about 0.1 volt @ idle. And to top it all of the battery that was in my max was put to rest about 2 weeks ago and was replaced by a optima red top.
before 13.21 v
after 14.25 v

Do you think doing this would help me decrease the "shaking" of the car while it is idling(in Park, Reverse, Nuetral and Drive, 2, and 1.) Do you think the effects are worth it ?

Sounds like you may have a low idle issue.
14.9-15.0 volts at idle here
thanks to my can-am high output alternator 215 amps of fury. 0 guage alternator-battery, 0 guage alternator-ground. 4 guage grounding kit in the process of being made. i will let you guys know of any increases.
