Dev71893- Actually it was a good thought- just not sure you realized that my system is tied to the OEM fuse... and I didn't contemplate a CB until jr_ss elaborated a bit.
Even so, a CB will be on the 'to do' list for after she gets tuned.

^^Dude, I tested every point imaginable in search of a decent ground... The spare tire post had the same 0.2ohms as everytihng else- Spot welds or not it is fine for use as a ground. Whoever you are getting your info from was probably basing what they told you from experience dealing with typical S13 rusted out spare tire bays where the spot welds there are falling apart. Your original post said that it was "not good because it is only held in place by a few spot welds." Using that logic, nowhere on the car is a good ground... BTW- the multimeter doesn't lie
If there is solid metal-to-metal contact & continuity to anywhere else on the chassis; it perfect acceptable to use. My choice to not use it had nothing to do with acceptability as a ground and everything to do with keeping the install clean.
