yea im prolly gonna run 5 or 6 grounds back to a plate on my battery.

 

[mikethebiker]

my battery is in the trunk, so all my grounds i ran to chassis. all is 2. you can see them in my pics

 

[laosman]

yea i think im going to run onr from my block starter head and whatever else i can think of.

 

[mikethebiker]

most of the grounds i saw were connected to the head/intake mani, so thats wher i made my 2 gorunds.

 

[laosman]

yea ive got grounds on the head and mani at the moment. gotta find somewhere on the block to make one.

i got question about your radiator fan. do u turn and leave it on the whole time your in ur car or do u just turn it on for a period of time.

thanks

 

[mikethebiker]

.. usually i just turn it on if i see my temps getting kinda high im sitting in traffic, IF its hot out. otherwise, i dont bother. sometimes if im crusing at like 70 on a hot day.. but usually my stock motor does fine cooling itself

UPDATE:
I finally found another electrical gremlin. My CTS ground was basically fucked.. i checked it out since there is a ton of shit on it, and when i pulled it off the end bit just seperated from the wire. i looked closer, ended up it has only been connected by one strand of copper for quite some time.

Fixed that problem in like.. 45 seconds.. and instantly noticed better idle.

cant tell if i lost power, dont ask me why, but if i start knocking i know i need to do my timing.
AND of course my trunk. All bondo'ed and painted up

damn its looking good haha your hood and truck almost match mine but mine are both the original black paint from 93 still looking decent needs a retouch. and im loving how the car is looking i prefer coupe any day

 

[mikethebiker]

lol, i would love to have some gloss on my car, along with some coilover to fix my stance.. i dont think i've ever driven a car that cornered so funny. I want to black the rest of it, and paint the 240SX and NISSAN on the back like bronze/gold color

 

[IAmChris66]

man im not even sure if the back of my car says 240sx or if someone filled it before i got it. I have no clue how mine handles either i know they guy before me lowered is i have no clue what he used im gonna have to get a camera and start my build thread soon. I have to work with the DE and im not too mechanically inclined at the moment but learning as i go which is a pain in the ass.

Nice find with the ground wire Mike...

Why can't more people look for problems and solutions like you do?

 

[BigLou240sx]

I don't think that's the ground for the coolant temp sensor...I believe that connection feeds into the stock temperature gauge in the cluster. Glad your problems were fixed though.

 

[mikethebiker]

well i dunno im pretty sure it goes to the temp sensor cuz it affects the performance of the car.. literally, not just wether the temp guage qworks or not.. had quite the scare today

 

[IAmChris66]

oh god what happed today?

 

[mikethebiker]

battery caught fire today(in a nutshell): updated all that shit back there

 

[IAmChris66]

Oh shit! is she alright?

 

[mikethebiker]

Another update:
Finished my, "remove the auto seat belt motor and adjacent wiring project" finally.. check it
thats what i looks like on both sides, now i just have the one wire for my door switch

B4 and after i wrapped the wires on top.. i think

And this is all that wire that i got from it.. and these 2 other wires i just found running through my car, neither end was connected to anything

 

[derek]

how/why did your batt catch fire? worries me cause mine is in the same spot. i have a master kill on the rear valance but i dont want my shit catching fire while im going 90 sideways...
