See i told you they'd make a difference!

I have the Gordgee ones on mine and the build quality is well the best you can get. And the support was great too. They came in a RHD kit and with RHD instructions. There were 10 wires 4gauge each.

I actually wrote down all the lengths of them when I got them so I can duplicate them if needed, but I forgot to post them up and have since lost the measurements... sorry! I don't think it would be difficult to make some up yourself, but if you don't mind paying the 230 odd dollars to get them as I said they are great quality.

When I installed them, I installed them in stages to see where the difference was made. I actually drove around for months in between and got a good idea if they made any difference. No I didn't remove any cables between stages.

1) I installed the six cables that go round the block and chassis first - no difference.

2) Then I installed the cable that goes from the block to the negative battery terminal - night and day change. Car started quicker, more responsive throttle, gear changes quicker(on the CVT)

3) Cable between the ECU and TCU - Didn't notice any discernable difference

4) Cable from the block to the transmission - No change again

5) Cable from the block to the ECU - No change again

So, if I was to build them myself I would install the cable that goes from the engine to the negative battery terminal first and see if it made any difference and maybe leave it at that.

If someone is willing to do a test when they receive their batch of cables, could you install just this wire first and see if it makes a difference? It's been bugging me for a while now :laugh:

Cheers.

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.

can you post pic on yours??

those who installed the tranny cable, just wondering how far up you need to squeeze underneath?

With the car jacked and on stand, is it easier to squeeze in from the driver side (since the instruction said it was on US' passenger side),

or is it easier from the front on?

As above, what's the best way to install the tranny cable? I should probably get some jack stands first but perhaps it can be done with just the car jacked up? Everything else installed pretty easily, haven't gone out for a drive yet tho but is an ECU reset really needed before any potential changes appear? thx

Fitted the earth kit today and found out that the AT wire is too short and cant reach to the transmission on my V35 250GT!

Its about 5cm too short.

So for now i leave the AT wire off and all other wires fitted with no problem.

The instructions came with the kit is easy to follow but the photos would be great if is in colours and not just black and white.

Anyone fitted the AT wire to the transmission?

Here is a photo of the kit fitted:

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
