prometheus Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hey guys just bought a Nismo grounding kit from one of the forum members, it has come off his car. Really need either pictures/diagram as to where it all attaches. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Do these things really work/make a difference? from what i have read it varies mate, depending on how well your car is earthed at that factory i was always very sceptical and was def NOT going to buy one !! then i saw one 2nd hand at a good price it def worked for me, much much smoother when moving slowly and on tickover and better mpg all it does is increase the earthing/grounding on the car which then in turn allows for cleaner signals from the components to the ecu, so that it gets better signals and responds quicker and more efficiently HTH Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose at the very least, with some nicely coloured cable covers, it'll look bling in the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prometheus Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Guys after alot of head scratching and help from a mate I eventually got it installed, well had to work out exactly which cable went where as the guide posted earlier was for a kit that had 5 seperate cables, the Nismo one I got has 5 cables but some are already joined to one connector. Have a look and tell me what you think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 the wire looks a bit stretched by the MAF ? the engine moves more than you think under acceleration/deceleration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 It was the only way I could figure that they could fit, it did seem a bit tight but fitted without being too tight if you know what I mean. It goes down to the front left of the engine where 3 off them come together. No other option I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 looks slightly different but that must be as you say because a nismo kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 The engine will move under acceleration but as both points of the cable are attached to the engine then surely both will move together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 need more gold under there now what have you started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The engine will move under acceleration but as both points of the cable are attached to the engine then surely both will move together? must be the pic mate, it looks as though the cable from the battery runs to the front of the engine i'll see if i can find a pic of kevs car with it fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yea it does but plenty of slack on it. The only slightly tight one is the one from beside the MAF to the front of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
