Re-grounding Battery

[turbo_brian]

I am about to re-ground my car's negative terminal on the battery, and wondering what others have done, and where they have grounded to....

Car: 1992 Nissan R32 GTR Skyline

Battery: Optima Yellow Top

The Plan: To use an alloy battery clamp and zero gauge oxygen free cable.

I plan on grounding to the current chassis ground (cleaned and re-prep'd), but also want to ground to the engine block.

Thoughts from others that have done this?

Cheers in advance.

two cables unless you can get the correct termination from a autoelect supplier. also 0 AWG welding lead - same stuff and a bit cheaper. forget bling when its really fucntion that counts.

Cant go cheaper than free Chris, I have a few 2 meter lengths floating around at the moment, so I was planning on making use of them (not for bling, but for the actual desire to have a strong ground, R32's are not very good, considering they have an 8-gauge for grounding).

So what are the best ways to hook this stuff up, and why 2 leads?

two leads for the reason you have a T piece in the middle of the ground wire and a lug on end of it. to do it properly you would need a matching battery terminal, T tap terminal and a lug onthe end. in two pieces battery terminal, lug 2nd wire with a lug on each end.
