It creates a better ground for the engine, to take out interference the ECU might be getting. Supposedly, it smooths the engine out some. Most people seem to notice the difference, and somebody did some RPM range testing at idle and it did seem to smooth their car some.

Cheap mod for smoothness. Doubt you'll get any significant HP, but I intend to do it when I get around to it.

no HP gains with the Z .. at least not that I know of ... but some other car definitely needed grounding... 1993 Turbo RX7 R1 gain 13 HP with grouding kit. It does make a difference...

MannishBoy explanation was pretty acurate... that's exactly what it does ...

as far as HKS, there is no difference ... pure brand and price ... the cables are the same quality and do the same thing. I will go after brand names for parts that really could be different... not cables...

HKS Turbo ... nah, I hope Nismo come out with something the dealers will approve... won't void my warranty ...

I'd buy the N/A engine with 400HP if it becomes available here... I like turbo better, but I don't see Nismo comming out with one any time soon .
