jackso11 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Can anybody confirm where the earth/negative cable attaches to that comes straight from the battery? I am rebuilding me front end and can't work out where the 2 points bolt down. I have the negative cable coming from the battery and going back towards the back of the engine bay and about 30cm from the battery there is a loop to bolt it down, then again another loop about 30 cm further back. Pictures would be really helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Thought it might be better to put an image of what I have and ask where the connections go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Longer one attaches to the lower engine block and the shorter one to the chassis leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Longer one attaches to the lower engine block and the shorter one to the chassis leg Thanks Budz. The shorter one doesn't have an end on it and I can't see a clamp. I dont remember taking anything off the end but it was over a year ago, whereabouts should I be putting it? and do I need to put an end on it? The longer one has another loop coming off it a bit further back than the oil filter, where does that one go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Or if anyone is in Norwich and passing here maybe they can call in so I can have a quick look? Really want to get this back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ok so it seems the shorter one is actually the positive to the battery! I now have basically the more that comes off the negative battery terminal ad has a loop to bolt down almost straight away (about 8" from battery) and then the same cable terminates with a loop somewhere close the the oil filter. Anyone help me out with a photo please..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Use a 10mm bolt to hold it into the chassis. Then you can bolt the other end of that wire somewhere on the engine block. So your wire once hooked up correct will go Battery -> Chassis -> Engine Block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Brilliant! Thanks guys! Anywhere on the block? Where is it actually supposed to go from factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Looking at the block I can see there is a what looks like a bolt hole near the casting of 2JZ, is that the original place for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I can have a look later this evening mate if you don't get an answer off someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I was doing my engine mounts a while back and removed this earth to gain more room to swing my ratchet, I can't remember exactly where but it was nearer the front bumper than the oil filter housing but slightly behind the steering rack and very close to the aircon compressor, there must be a hole in that area, mine had a loop end and bolt through it into the block.

jackso11 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 I found a hole and bolted it to the block, but I don't think it's the one that it came out of as the marks on the loop on the wire look like they had a bigger bolt through it originally, bigger than can fit in the hole I found. I would ideally like to know where it should be if you could have a look please Rob Typically I don't have any supras in the shop at the moment and all that are booked in over the next few months are NA's!

Rob W Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Out early working on the car so just took some pics for you. Top mounting point for terminal cable to the battery. Bottom mounting point on the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
