Hyper-grounding

I know I have seen somewhere about hyper-grounding your car. I understand that it helps you with power distribution or something, but I wanted to know more. Any input would be helpful. maybe how to do it too.
(or direction to where I could read about it) Thanks

Thanks Puppetmaster, I thought I have seen it somewhere before. Just wondering but have you done this and have you had a good outcome, or anything at all?

No, I haven't had the time to do anything with the car for a while now... but I've heard and read only good things about doing it.

Did you look through all the links in the 2nd post of that thread?

http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...01&postcount=2

Those are all thoughts and opinions of people who've done it....

Go out to e-bay and check them out. Nismo has one for our car that wasn't to expensive. I got one but can't remember how much it was.

He means something like this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISMO...09901040QQrdZ1

And no, Nismo does not make it. The company simply slaps on names like Nismo, TRD, Ralliart...etc to sell.

I was hoping that no one would notice.... I've always stashed a quart somewhere in the engine bay to top off the oil if needed, some of my older cars went through oil.... it's just a habit now. Now for the real test... can you find the rag that I use to check the level with.....

What are those green hoses for?

And why does it look like the alterator post is going to the NEGATIVE of your battery?

Rag is by left-hand side of FSTB?

The green hoses are part of the "home depot catch can mod" thanks to Irish and 2002 Maxima SE. The hoses were left over from a water softener I installed. There is a alternator ground there, if I understand what wire your talking about. You're correct on the rag.
