A cordia with a unique intercooler setup I believe.

Earth to the block or the car body only, assuming there are at least two big block to body cable earths already. The number of problems that arise through poor earths.....................

[Buttocks]

So change my earth from the manifold to a good earth to the body

let me guess, you hooked a LTX8 up to it didnt you??

[Buttocks]

Hell no i'm not that stupid its not a rotary, its got a Adaptronic. I think my earth must of been dodgy, should of been to the block of the car. Now just trying to find a x4 this week is going to be hard been ringing around trying to find one in qld but not having much luck

its not a constant duty / constant charge issue?

For my limited car elec system work, I always ground to the body.

Looks like its a common thing from other forums. Looks like a few spliced grounds might be needed just to make sure, one the block and one to the body.
Better to be safe than sorry

for the body earth, grind the paint away from the area on the body before u strap the earth to it

Ok, dumb question time.

On the Nissan KA24E, there are 2 factory grounds just behind the plenum on the aluminium intake manifold (for i assume the injectors).
There is a large ground strap going from the aluminium head on the exhaust port side to the body & battery.

Should i change this so the 2 factory grounds are going directly to the block or body, and ground to the block directly with the main ground cable?
