Earthing Points.

[Shhtuart]

I just purchased a HKS earthing kit due to my current earth leads falling apart and possibly contributing to my slow startup.

Plus it looks uber cool



Picked it up for $90 brand new.

Anyway, I know i can follow the current leads to their grounds but i was wondering if its safe to make more earth points?

Are there any specific spots that are a no go?

can earth on any part of the car as long as its not a positive
best places would be chasis , stut mounts , any thick metal
make sure u sand grind the paint off for best surface contact

main ones to upgrade would be battery to body , battery to engine , engine to body

Bought one of these myself a D1 Racing one, just came in the mail today

Page 42 and 43 of the electrical wiring manual has diagrams of all the earth points.

stock ride already have quite a couple of earthing cables. identify them and replace them. and use the rest to your imaginations!

I read something today that said to link up a stronger earth from alternator to thermostat earthing point and the battery to improve general earthing, thought that was pretty nifty and made sense... can see the volt go up and down on my inside voltage gauge. So going to try that see if it stabalises it a bit, if it can really be affected.
