Z-Xtreme 6-wire Grounding Kit & My Experience...
I tell you what : just to do business with insane is worth it. In the 2 years 2 months I have been around 350Z forums everywhere I have never seen anybody ever say they had a bad experience with Gyula. A true gentleman.
And the cables he makes ARE a work of art.

I've had my blue set for well over a year now and it's great. It did match the DB perfectly but over time it has discolored.

My exterior theme is gonna be all black/orange/silver I am looking for a nice black-out set for my lights and reflectors. Stuff like UR pullies (red), Stillen engine damper (red), use my old K&N filter cleaner/regreaser kit on the my JWT cone (red), etc... and I guess red grounding wires. Guys think this will look nice? Just don't think I can get burnt orange stuff for the engine bay.

ROLL TIDE!
What is funny, but actually irrelevant, my High School was orange and black (buccaneers). Hoover, ALhttp://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps...04-super25.htm
haha, check it out

I am NOT buying new ones tho....not until the orange fades to pink.

Thanks for your help.

I received and installed the grounding kit very quickly and it looks great.
Only problem I had was that one of the supplied bolts that is supposed to replace the stock one is too short to accomodate the 3 wires that go under the strut bar passenger side.
So I just kept the stock one.

I will take some when I get home from work...
BTW, I gave the kit the ultimate test this morning at a few intersections where in the past I noticed a distinct and annoying vibration and disctinct rpm variation at idle in neutral at traffic lights.
Unfortunately, this problem that I hoped to fix with the grounding kit is still there...
BUT, it is ever so slightly better than before.
Also, the jury is still out on whether this actual problem is even related to grounding, so it might be unfair to judge the kit based on this issue.
