Updated 7/13/2005 received some great information from Maxima.org members about ground wiring kits, one site published had all the sizes and grounding points so I bought all the materials and cut it/installed it myself...SWEET...
Materials bought and crimped...

Updated 6/27/2005 Just received my new tires 245/45ZR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2, these tires are awesome and stick like velcro, and the thread pattern is SICK... Thanks again Tires Plus for the great install...

INJEN CAI Mounting Bracket Problems:
OK, the Injen CAI mounting SUCKS, driving vibration first took out the rubber boot mounting screw, I re-inforced the mounting and the freaken weld broke... DAMM... So some of you might have this (see pic below)
My Fix, about $20 clams:
Parts Used:
1- ROL Exhaust heavy duty tail pipe hanger.
2- 2 RE Works High Grade Aluminum Quick Release Racing Clamps
The task: Using a vice, I bent the Exhaust bracket in a 90 degree angle and attached it to the lower engine mounting bolt just below the Injen, using 1 clamp, I added a new forward midbody support clamp by hooking it around the Exhaust Hanging bracket U-hook, (The Rubber vibration spacer allowed it to twist nicely into place and is 50 times stronger than the stock shock mount).
Another benefit; the bracket is now mounted under the CAI and eliminated all stress on the mounting hardware. I also replaced the rear bracket (not required, however stronger), tightened down all. Job time, 17 minutes...
