We are clearly dealing with a profession here, he even goes to walmart to buy batteries.....

and instead of worrying about "grounding"(which what you are doing is not) your brake fluid need to be flushed and changed.

well the dryer vent acts as heat absorption material, ensuring that the air in his CAI is as close to as cold as he can get it.

Seriously i cant wait to hear "My Maxima caught fire today". like yea you dumbazz those fuses that you bypassed were there for a reason. Because obviously the Nissan engineers that designed a car that was one of the best performing and selling cars at the time were just soo stupid by putting fuses in for safe guards. Like honestly what were they thinking?

do you have such low self esteem that you need a "form" to validate your "upgrades"? it's your car...you do what you like.

you can grind down all the paint on the car and ground everything...your car.

if you feel that it makes sense to you then go do your thing. don't expect everyone to buy into it.

No you moron, you dont get it. The first time your car has a voltage spike which happens from time to time, in all cars even the best running cars experience spikes. EVERYTHING is gone. EVERYTHING. Not just your alternator or light bulb, EVERYTHING. By the time you are done repairing all that has been shorted out and/or blown up you will understand because its going to be a $6-7k bill vs 3 dollars and a trip to autozone for a fuse.

It amazes me every day how people think they are electrical genius. I have my master electricians lisence and am almost finished with my electrical engineers degree. I'm sure there are some more fight experienced ones with the same thing. But I must say dude. Your a damn idiot. You disgust me to the fact as I study this for a living and your head is telling you that me being a expert is wrong? Come spend a day with me and you will kill yourself man. Cars are not as deadly as what we do. But you want me to ruin my car which I spend lots of money on mods that accutually work and do this stupid crap you call performance? Your grounding spots and multiple grounds don't help you at all. I can promise you that. Your theory about the plate and a bolt? Yeah sure. It will effect it. But so will water. So will cold. So will heat. Your just talking out your a$$. Now do yourself a favor and stop while you still have a small shread of dignity left...

Now...now...tough to have credibility in calling others idiots when you can't even master proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

But I guess, no one really cares about the basics of that any longer, do they?

O rly?

I have gone through 2 140amp main fuse on my boosted car. Blown a few fuses that was attached to the brake lights that actually turned out to be a bulb had shorted out and re-welded itself together, fuse saved massive repair. Blown the cig lighter once. Those 2 were on the DD.

Not only that i work at an autopart store you wanna know how many blown fuse issues i have seen daily? It's VERY common and also very relieving to know you have only blown a fuse and dont have a huge repair on your hands.

Now listen to what im saying, you have wired your car so that if there is a small short the safe guards in place to prevent small shorts turning into big problems you have bypassed. Small shorts and voltage spikes blow fuses, a voltage spike can come from....umm lets see.....oh you have an aftermarket radio, sub and amp, when you turn those things up and in the duration of whatever music you listen to its going to cause spikes in both amperage and voltage.
