Connect engine just about anywhere, really. There are a few bolts around the upper left-hand side (if facing forward) that have OE grounds that can be used.

Are the pics still there? If not, I'll have to get them back up, the original hosting site shut down (aka my brother's old university account)

I took pics of everything to make it easier, lemme know if this needs to be updated (also, someone bump the thread)

I think just about ever thread of yours needs to be updated with pics. I have most all of them saved if you'd like me to bump them. They are all of useful info as always. Good to see you back around, Dan.

Thanks, Paramy. It makes me feel good to know that people were able to take something away from all of the threads, this site has kept my love for the Maxima going strong this whole time.

I'm stripping my car apart for a THIRD time (and final, lol), one of my next threads will detail how to strip the interior down at all points.
