s14 chassis ground

[tinys s14]

my sr is being wired up and i heard if you dont have the ground from the intake manifold to the chassis the car wont start. I think that ground is on the stock negative cable for the battery.. and I dont know where i put it since I removed it to the trunk. Just want to know were can I get one or coulld I make one.. any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated

ground wires are easy to make just get some 8 gauge cable and some cable end loopey things forget the proper term and crimp them on with some vice grips. and your correct ground is the negative terminal but it is connected to the chassis so think about that as making the whole chassis one big negative terminal

i got some left over 4 gauge lying around i guess i will use it to make a ground

IM ground is only for preventing electrolysis of the aluminum. The sensors grounds just happen to attach to it as well.

but does it matter if you can make one becahuse I choped one part off of the stock beattery ground and use it for the battery in the trunk
