Opinions on ground kits

SophiaZ

I bought one and getting it installed tomorrow FINALLY. I've heard this will help with the handling of the car. Does anyone have information on grounding kits and would you put one on your car?

Why the fcuk do people on here make others seem stupid?!! Enough with those gay azz smileys...JUST SAY SOMETHING! Say I dont know what I'm talking about or call me stupid! Really....it wont offend me...I'm not a mechanic, nor a person who only cares about cars. I have questions..and ask for answers.

Those faces mean confuse for what you are asking. Grounding kit and handling I don't think it goes together. Unless you are talking about a body kit.

BTW, I don't want to make anyone feel stupid because everyday I learn something different.

I just get so irritated with those smileys cuz some poeple seem so snotty or ignorant with them. But anyways..... no its not a body kit. The grounding kit....as stated on their website, supposed to help with the handling of the car and your losing horsepower w/o them. They're just some type of wires. I don't have much more information other than that. Do you know what a grounding kit does?

Just being a lil lazy and avoiding typing a lengthy response here is a link with some info on them

What is a Grounding Kit? - Nissan 350Z Motoring Forums

A grounding kit is supposed to "help your car run better by stabilizing electrical noise and voltage spikes and equalizing resistance and voltage between various ground points" thus improving ECU signals and throttle response resulting in better performance and reduction in flat spots.

But I haven't seen anything concrete to prove this yet.

Word lol. Mainly just makes the engine bay look better

OOPS! i thought you were talking about a bodykit as for the grounding kit you are speaking of i have no knowledge

If you're talking about those wires it won't do anything. You may think after the install your car runs better etc. I've seen one dyno from Nissan sport magazine and it resulted in a loss of 2whp.

I think you meant "arrogant".

SophiaZ

no, but that too. I really don't car about the smilies cuz I do it too, but whats so hard about writing "what do you mean?" instead of
LOL

ricky bobby

i say do it i wanna see pics! if i had the money i would do it my altima cuz after 105 i feel like there is too much air underneath the car. as for the Z between 140 and 155 it seems to be ok but there is always room for improvement.

P.S.

My thoughts exactly. (Although, I'm sometimes guilty of doing that.) You have to do it with descretion.

Getting back to your question.... you will notice better throttle response with the gounding kit. Beyond that, you probably won't notice much else.


EDIT: BTW, I got mine for basically free. I used Stillen Bucks back when they had their Father's Day promo. (I earned them with the purchase of my exhaust and intakes and sways.)
