Xtra Grounding Points

[G_Force]

Hey all,

Im currently building a audio system ~1000WRMS. I was told its a good idea to upgrade your grounding points. Also heard that the Skylines have been known to have bad grounding points. Anyone had a problem with this?

As for upgrading the grounding points, is it just a matter of adding a few xtra 4Ga grounding cables to my -ve terminal: -ve to chassis, -ve to block? Any other points i should be focusing on?

Cheers.

Yea that'll help ya a bit, probably need to add extra grounding points in the engine bay and to the battery (i think) cos i know my r33 for sure has an earth issue.

Best spot to ground your amp is to thick clean metal, using a big ass bolt, try and find some factory bolt and clean up the surface a bit aswell should be ok, you just don't want engine noise if your going big stereo n all.

the people who whinge about skyline grounding points are probably running bullshit power that the stock wiring system was never designed to cope with.

Which is why im asking if xtra grounding points will help. Btw person who told me he had problems with grounding wasn't running big @ss power hungry amps, stereo looked stock, car had 300rwkw not that this affects the current draw much.

Anyway which grounding areas should i be looking at upgrading besides -ve terminal to chassis & -ve to block? Someone mentioned to me that u can use a busbar like one below. Doesn't look to presentable tho.

If I were you, have a search for the Apexi grounding unit (or those other brands that come in a blue box), and see what the manual says. From memory, there was the block, the alternator housing, somewhere around the strut towers... and a few more.

Maybe even just look through apexi's manuals and see what their kits ground?
