[sarc22 10+ year member]

Wondering if anyone has experience doing big 3 on 2001 Nissan Altima? How many feet of 1/0 guage? Difficulty level for someone with low to moderate mechanical skills? Any dos or don'ts?

Thanks,

SCC

Did it on my 2000. Think I bought like 15' and had like 1/2 left over.

I used 2/0 welding wire and got copper ring terminals there also. Pound on with a BFH or crimp in a vise.

Did Batt NEG to the factory place on the block. Engine to frame in the rear of the motor underneath the car. Batt POS to alt ran along the fans on the radiator.

Pretty simple and took a few hours taking my time.

I did mine on a 2002 Altima. I think there are still some pics in my gallery. check itout. I also put on an Iraggi HO alt. Which was easy as pie. The Big 3 is not that hard, just finding the right spots to attach the wires to then run with it. also make sure not to have them in the way of fans etc...
