HKS Circle Earth Grounding (pics)
I've got the HKS Circle Earth Red(limited edition but nothing exclusive) grounding kit installed. Immediate observation after the install is clearer audio and HID lamps seems to be slightly brighter (or is it just me).
Don't really feel any difference in engine performance.

The wires are connected from the different grounding points(I tried to follow as closely to the Nissan's Grounding Kit's points) to a main HKS distribution connector (the black round thing you see) and this distributor itself is linked by a grounding cable directly to the car battery.
I got the universal kit + install for around USD170(converted rates)
The cover on the airfilter is a heat shield and the tip opening is designed to give a ram funnel sort of effect. The shield came with the filter. Its Blitz Sonic Power. Cost around USD200 (not inclusive of piping)

Why do you have the distribution connector connected there, its supposed to be mounted on the negative battery terminal so you have all wires grounding back to the battery....

Yeah, I understand too that it'll be optimum (but not necessary) to put the distributor connector directly onto the battery itself.
But as you know our battery is concealed and if the distributor were to be connected in there, imagine the cluster of grounding cables there and coming out from the rubber cable seal by the battery compartment. The whole engine bay will become very messy. Was trying to strike a balance between show and functionality.
Therefore I decided to be slightly on the losing end of not getting 100% but maybe 90%? by connecting the distributor to the battery directly by another grounding cable.(For info my battery is on the top right where you guy's brake fluid is)
This is why.

I installed the HKS grounding kit...the same distributor and I install it different location from you (3ktogo) and I realise not only gaining the Light as you mention but I can feel the the smoothness the engine when rev up. Maybe horsepower increase 1-2
