> Fmic kits require you to cut a hole in the battery tray … u cant fit the 240sx battery … that why some ppl relocate it to the trunk or use a slim battery.

you aren’t required to go through the battery tray. that’s just the most common way. some setups (like mine) go straight down beside the frame rail and loop around to the intercooler so you don’t have to relocate.

as mentioned by others, it helps significantly with the weight transfer, taking 40-50lbs from the very front and putting it in the very back does more than you’d think.
