Hey All,

Just got myself a set of earthing kit and was wondering how to properly install it.

It came with 5 copper blue wires different sizes, a bracket and some bolts.

I was just experimenting around with it but not 100% sure where to connect it to.

The bracket is the center piece with 3 holes to fit the bolts.

Ok, this is what ive done.

- 1 wire connect to bracket to alternator

- 2 wires connect to bracket to engine

- 1 wire connect to chasis of the car

- 1 wire going to connect to starter motor but not exactly sure where abouts is it located in the engine bay. (Any pics of the starter motor would be great)

Anyway, that is what i have done. Supposingly will gain 4rwkw just from this grounding kit proven. Is this the correct way to install it? any help would be great!

is that the same thing as this?

Basically you're just earthing all the ancilliaries and the block again with very low resistance cables? I don't doubt the car would run a bit better and start better when it's warm or whatever but give it 4 more rwkw, that's pretty sweet.

The position of those straps sounds good, just the one on the starter transmission and you're laughing ;)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
