Installing a grounding kit seemed easy enough, so I ordered one.

None of the 7 wires in the kit measure out to be what the installation instructions say they should be, no matter how you measure the lengths. They're within maybe an inch or so but that's about as close as they get.

The directions/bill or materils if you will, list very specific sizes for the 7 wires like one is 18.25" and another two wires are suppose to be 18.50" and so on and none measure out to the called for sizes. Hope there is a lot of room for play. Could have sworn my kit was only suppose to be a 6 wire kit but mine has 7.

Suppose to be a supplied bolt, no to be found. No zip ties (which I already have anyway). The directions only tell you where 6 of the 7 wires go. Without pics, the instuctions are pretty much useles.

Guess the 7th is a mystery wire.

 

Dude that sucks (sorry im not much help).

 

Usually 7 wires are for an Auto trans car, one goes to the tranny. The 6 wires one is for manual.

 

Tha makes sense.

I will probably just end up guesstimating where they go and more or less invent my own instructions. I know the basic idea of the wires but included pics would have helped a lot.

Ive found a few pics in here that help a bit but seem to be routed different than what I have in my instructions.

I'll just improvise a little.

 

Dude, you're wasting your time putting a grounding kit on a brand new 2006 350Z. Should have read up a little. You're throwing money away.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw your sig. The grounding kit may be your best mod.

 

Puaha. I've been throwing money away for years, no point stopping now.

The Z is my toy, when needed a daily driver and also my hobby and right now I'm doing stuff to the engine bay. I'm well aware of the effects or lack there of with a grounding kit.

The rear spoiler on a street car is for looks, unless you're constanly driving 150 mph everywhere but people spend sometmes an obscene amount on those. Grounding kit doesn't do much if anything but it's cheap, it's not a $1,500 spoiler or $3,500 widebody kit either.

Thanks for you input

 

I have to admit that was funny

 

dude i got 6 wires in the box when i ordered them as well man , intense is not a joke theyre cool and knowledge people man . installation on it was easy as hell .

 

Buy some 4 guage speaker wire and cut your own grounding kit. Save yourself 100 bucks, it's all they are doing.

 

Not even then -- Nissan claims zero lift @ 150mph w/ the track package and I have to admit they're right, but 170+ definitely gives some lift

 

It cost me just as much to make my own 10 wire kit as it does for GordGee's kit. However, I used 4 awg Stinger Expert cable (1666 strands) with mega-heavy duty crimp terminals and top quality heat shrink. I had to borrow the hydraulic crimping tool from the electrical supply store. It's all black with silver terminals, so unless you know it doesn't belong, it looks totally stock.

 

I found some pics that will help and the lengths are correct, at least according to the text insructions. Was confusing at first because other people I've seen are running a long wire on the plenium from next to the throttle body, to the center of the timing chain. The directions I got differ. Never made much sense to ground a wire to aluminium anyway. This should be a piece of cake.

If I had it to do again, I probably would have made my own but I don't have lots of free time for much of anything, so I just paid the 60 bucks for their kit.

I'm going to need to remove the strut bar and engine cover to install the other stuff I got, so since it was going to be all apart, I went ahead and splurged on the grounding kit.
