Where did you ground your relocated Battery?

I am relocating my battery and I wanted to know where is the best stop to ground your battery to in the back and also did you use another fuse block or keep the one that was on the battery terminal. Thanks.

dunno about where specifically but just make sure that

a) the cable is REAL short, like as short as absolutely possible
b) you strip the paint real well if you make a new grounding point

I'm sure others can provide more wisdom, since I haven't done this myself.

Yea we reloacated it on my friends supra today but that was alot easier than a dsm. I was wondering where the best ground is and how to setup up a new fuse block or to use the old one. Thanks.

There are a few places on the web that sell a terminal post that you can use to connect the fuse block at the original battery location and just remove the battery cable end. That way if you deside to return it to stock to sell it you can put the cable end back on and connect the ground cable up front and your done. I totaly agree for the ground that you should use a very short cable directly to the body and make suer that the area is clean with bare metal showing. Then coat it with shome di-electric grease or something when connected to the body to keep the connection perfect. If you loose contact you can damage the ecu and or alternator ect. Very Bad things can happen. Hope this helps.
