| - An ebay fuse block with barrell type fuses (cause I have a million of them thanks to my dad's handmedowns). - An ebay ground distribution block. Used the spade terminal where the radio usually goes into, and I have all my accessories and my radio going to that block. This includes the $5 radioshack relay (which is 60A vs a 30A Nissan relay). - 8ga (I know, overkill, but I have so much of it laying around) from the battery into the cabin and routed up to behind the radio. Fused by the battery. - I wanted to have the accessories come on with ACC, so I used the radio's red wire which is ACC to power the coil in the relay. Click. Power goes to the fuse block and power goes through the fuses. Boost gauge light came on, called it a night. Just have to solder a handful more wires for each of the rest of the gauges, ebc, lc-1, radar, etc. The suggestion above is much cleaner, but I like this setup knowing it cost half as much and I did it myself.
