Here's a few quick shots of my homemade grounding kit. You can see the discoloration of the wire dure to heat. Nothing a little wire loom can't fix. Also need to clean it up a little with some wire ties. Sorry the engine bay is kinda dirty.

How many feet of cable would you say you used? That's the one detail Stillen's instructions leave out.

I bought about 8 feet of 4ga and 12 feet of 0ga. I not only used the Stillen instructions for the 4ga, but I also changed out the actual engine grounds (the 2 wires going to the engine from the next to the drivers side of the STB), and starter and alternator wires with 0ga.

Sounds about right. I still need to do the starter and alternator but I have enough wire.

the son of the previous owner to Pi-Thon is starting up the same design this year (2012) and Terry @ ZeeToyZ was in contact with him at SEMA this last year... only thing is they will be released under a different company BUT should be out sometime in Feb of 2012... fingers crossed

have you come up with an alternative mounting method for the coolant tank being that the mounting holes on the 350z's aren't the same as the 370z?

Right, these were designed for the G37 and 370z since the 350zHR is a relatively small production in comparison.

You can easily install one of these with two simple L brackets. The brackets can be made available if a local can stop by for fitting.

Who's offering those pieces?

The only problem I see with the overflow is there's no way to know how full it is. Probably need to add some fittings and a clear tube.

Just unscrew the top and look inside...only takes 3 more seconds than looking at a sight-tube.

My eliminating the sight-tube, it looks cleaner and has less chance of being defective.

Pretty cool about the release of the pi-thons. I really only want three hose clamps. ones for the two radiator hoses that connect to the metal piece under the radiator cap, and the where the top radiator hose connects to the radiator.

Any luck yet with the custom bracket?
