anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

Has anyone put a grounding kit on their G35c? Can I just use the same kit as a 350z? What are the measurments for the cables?

Re: anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

If you have multiple cars, it's cheaper to just buy the raw materials and ground away (not that it does anything IMHO).

I got 100 ft of 4 guage wire for $30.
Connecters were $1.50 per 4.
Got crimper from Home Depot on sale for $19.

Did all three cars with spare parts for future cars...

Besides, it's fun to do things yourself (at least for
simple things that I can do)...

I don't know anything about it except I've heard it improves performance and HP thru a more positive grounding of the engine and it's components. I'd like to know more too.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

I have a blue grounding kit but I'm too lazy to put it on; basically it grounds current and supposedly helps HP ( saw a 350z dyno improve by 4 HP(?)) and it lets your engine idle at a lower rpm (conserves gas a bit(?)) Too many question marks and no tools leaves me with a box with blue grounding wires. I'll try to take measurements of them but not sure if they fit on the coupe as they were specifically made for a 350z but I'm guessing its all the same length. Ill try it on my coupe when I got time or if someone wants to do it for me...... =P

Re: anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

Looks kinda cramped under the hood for attaching wires at different points. I'll check out 'my350Z' site for some details, and availability. That must be where I saw a dyno showing a few ponies increase.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] I wonder if there'd be a modest gas mileage increase too? [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

I ordered a kit from insaneamine and it looks of high quality but truthfully as I stated before, I am not sure if it fits. The kit includes everything for install except the tools (wrench...etc.) Very nice kit with all insturctions, washers, etc. for a real reasonable price. Very easy transaction and would buy again if I had a use for another set of grounding cables :X

smcallis, You pobably need to sign in first on My350z b4 viewing. Sounds like snake oil but looks legit. An interesting thread if you can get to it.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: anyone with a G35c grounding kit?

I would imagine the 350z kits would work just fine with the coupes. I think i may go ahead and give it a try with the 350z lengths.

Hey Marcel, Let us know how it goes. I will try this sometime in the near future.
Did you read the thread on My350z to know what to expect from such a mod? Sounds to me like the engine generally is 'happier' being well grounded and that you'll net a few ponies and smoother running engine (if that's possible[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img])
Good luck and keep us up on where you get your kit and it's ease if fitment. [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

I just heard from 'insaneamine' by email. If you need it:
......InSaNeAmine@***.net...........Later.......
