Disconnect the NEGATIVE FIRST...

The reason why you want to disconnect negative first and reconnect it last is because the Positive can spark (I forgot the more scientific term) and this can cause the ECU to short out, have I never seen it happen... BUT Nissan HAS released a bulletin for this issue
