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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
