hey guys installed mine today

ive got a 6mt so i dont know if any difference yet as i havent even driven the car.

the install was very easy and straight forward. took about 45min all up.

if i were you swap the wires 2 and 8 around as the wire for 8 is a bit longer and will get to the grounding point a bit easier, and 2 is a bit shorter it goes to the battery, and will look a bit neater.

also when you install put all your terminals the right way up, makes it a bit neater and better contact. The wire should be up the top and the terminal flat on the bottom,

Bought this kit with some hesitation as there was no guarantee as how it would fit a 300GT with VQ30DD.

I can now say that I am glad I bought it!!

It did come in handy that I have a 1m cable from another grounding kit available to me though.

I needed it to connect to the battery terminal, replacing wire #2 in the instructions.

Other then that, the front timing cover ground point in step 9 is further away from the plenum side grounding point in step 5 so I just swapped cable lengths around and I ended up with wire #4 unused.

I couldn't find any grounding point bolted to the inner fender wall as describled in step 14 so I looped it back to the -ve battery terminal.

Cable length down to the 5 sp auto tranny is fine. I did not reset the ECU. All bolt lengths are fine, I only changed the bolt at the -ve terminal to a longer one.

The car certainly felt more responsive and 'ready to go' when you accelerate from stand still.

The gear changes are more efficient (earlier) ... semi auto gear changes no longer have that horrible delay.

I did not tell my wife anything as I wanted to see if she would feel any difference herself when she took the car to work yesterday.

She came back and asked me what I did with the car as she was feeling that the car was pulling harder and quicker. hehee ..

glad that it fits!

post up some pics if u can.

Finally managed to get mine and put it on, ended up putting it half on in the dark...

Went for a drive and first impressions are good, VDC seems to improved which is what I was secretly hoping. When going from first to second in a manual flat out with VDC on, as you put it into second it usually feels like you've hit the brakes but it's more mild now, the power comes on quicker after VDC has done it's thing. So hopefully in the wet when accelerating from a standstill it will be improved too, will see how it goes when it rains.

Sort of felt like there was a little bit more go and responsiveness but it could also be a placebo like effect, should become obvious with a bit more driving.

Oh and some of those bolts for stock earthing points on the car are quite soft, don't give them too much torque :down:

Sorry mate, I know I'm being a bother. I'm still alive and kickin', but will only be back in Melbourne on Thursday. Actually I think you can post it anytime now, I now have enough time to pick it up from the post office without fear of them returning to sender!

It's ok mate, i can post it out for you on wed.

i installed a home made jobbie on my M35 today, made a fairly large difference IMO. its nice and smooth, idles well and maybe, only MAYBE, shifts gears faster. im driving down the coast tonight so we will sew how true that is.

not bad for $20 worth of parts, and i didnt even do the gearbox, just the block and manifold. i might ground out the chassis and rough up the factory ground points so it makes better contact

I bought a generic grounding kit from HK (well, bought it 3 years ago for about $50 AUD) and it comprised of 5 cables, but reading this thread, it seems that I am missing 3!!! (in order to be just as good as the US kit)...

I have wired up mine a bit differently though....And I'll take a few pics to show you (after tomorrow's VIC Meet). The only cable I think is an 'essential' is the tranny one, so I am gonna find another wire to do it.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
