Default Which Grounding Kit

Based on your experiences, which grounding kit do you use/recommend, or does it matter which I go with?

If you've experienced both, is it worth to go to 6, 7, or 8 wires?

I bought the kit for 5 wire kit for $48 shipped from Maxground.com. It's $58 for the 6 wire system. Just get the Original Earth ground kit.

I just read someone else's post where they were tripping out on how much their new grounding kit improved the ride of their Z. I'm thinking about getting the Nismo kit myself. It should be interesting to see what people recommend on this thread...

NISMO doesn't make a kit.

Really? That's strange. Not that I doubt you but i've seen 'Nismo Grounding Kit' in people's sigs. Wonder what they're talking about.

There are some sellers on ebay claiming they have NISMO kits and I heard some vendors claim they have NISMO kits, but from what I understand the kit they are selling is JDM, not NISMO. The JDM kit is very nice.

I am pretty sure the kit they are offering is the JDM kit. Do you have a link where it says it is NISMO?

7 wire kit is for Auto Trans.
6 wire kit provides an extra wire to run to the airbox.
5 wire kit was the original.

You can get lengths from the install instructions of the Z-xtreme kit:

Buy it. Great quality, great member to deal with.

Thanks for the link.

The kit shown looks exactly like the Nissan Z JDM kit.

I got the links off a different write-up and cut my own wires. I don't think they added power but I did nitice a difference in the revs. Its a lil smoother.

Took it to a dealer and they said "its only to look pretty. Prob so you dont get no whine from that big stereo system...". It was only a Clarion single disc deck. And I didn't even have an amp to it.

Anyway I think its can only improve
