If auto then drill where the clutch plate goes. If manual drill to the left bottom of the gas pedal. Both easily accesible and will fit a few 0Awg wires.

There really isnt one, but Ive only done about 90+ Maximas. Although some people take the long route and go through the fender somewhere. Rule of thumb, keep the distance of the wire shortest possible.

ok, I removed the tire and the plastic cover, and I found two holes, one mentioned on the tread above, and a smaller one where the hood cable goes, it is a bout 2 inches wide, perfect for any cable.
on the inside of the car I had a hard time.
I removed a ABS circuity box and all the insulation covers, then I ran my 4-gauge cable as deep as it could go on the carpeting, under the plastic cover of the seat belt, and under rear seat. (professional JOB)
It is very simple, just take your time.
thanks for all the help.
