Question Grounding Kit ?

Didn't want this to get lost in the 25 page thread.

I have another kit (Daytona Blue, my original one was much lighter this one is really a deeper blue and a better match.

It also has 6 wires not 5 like my original.

I already have a spot to the frame so I would like to "ground the transmission."

Can a kind sould post instructions with a pic on where this would go?

I will be doing it when I recieve my new Crawford Intake and STB next week or so and it should look SWEET!

Beleive it or not I used the original pictures on the initial pages to help with my install (not the paper instructions.

I can retrace my 5 wires but where does the 6th go on the tranny)

(A5T?)

Thanks!

I respect you, but ARE YOU HIGH??? I can tell from the pictures it is greenish blue that is not matching the DB at all. Sorry for the flame, I just don't think you'll sell a lot without the color match there at all.

I would not base real life on a picture taken by a camera uploaded to a computer, probably after being run through a program, transfered over the internet, into your computer and displayed on your monitor projecting light into your eyes. Every single one of those things brings an image further away from reality. In reality, you have no clue what those look like and if he says they match better, they probably do. Why do you even care? Are you going to buy some of our grounding kits to put on a used Supra or NSX?

If you re-read the post, you'll see that he hasn't installed the new, better-matching kit yet. And like XBS said, he isn't trying to sell anything.

Talking

Correct,

That is my old kit with the sun shining directly on it then add in the flash from the camera. Out of direct sunlight it's a very close match in person.

My question was/is where does the 6th wire to the tranny go?

I posted that *old* pic hoping that some kind soul would circle the 6th wire area in red using some type of paint program.

Guess I should have been a little clearer.

When I bought my kit (I don't sell them) there were 3 blues to choose from (way back when lol.)

The retailer now just sells one blue and it's a perfect match but as EJ mentioned, the new kit has not been installed yet I'm waiting for my manifold.

I guess I should have been a little clear in my explantion.

Peas!

Below is an example pic of what light can do to colors. Notice some areas out of the light/flash are darker? (Again pic is from the old kit not the new one.) I am waiting for my Crawford Manifold to install the new DB Kit.

Since when can't a person with something other than a Z not be able to post? I never said I was getting a Supra or NSX. If I wouldn't have posted a thread for help on deciding which car I should get, you wouldn't even know that. And I was kidding by the post, you didn't see the " ". I guess I didn't see in the post that those were the old one's and not the new one's with the new better matching color. But I thought they were and that's why he posted a pic.
