Earth Wiring Kits

[nizmokid]

Has anyone fitted one of these kits to a R33 GTST and has it made any difference to the car?....or are they just a waste of cash?

They look cool in your engine bay. (not saying they do or don't work but they do look cool hehehe)

But The Battery In The R33 In In The Boot? So How Does It Work Then? Do You Have To Run A Extra Long Cable To The Boot ??????

[(B1) MR_fanny]

you double or tripple ground the battery in the boot so you get better grounding. you could actually go to jaycar get some good grounding cable and make em yourself, thats what i did.

as for noticable improvment, i noticed smoother acceleration...then again it could all just be in my head but for 20bucks or so who cares as long as it makes me fell good:D:D

according to asm article, they tested the hks earth grounding kit and apparently they achieved a slight gain at peak but lost more power in the midrange.

so apparently unless u get the kit for dirt cheap + have electrical issues + wanna tidy up the apperance of your engine bay your hard earned cash could be spent elsewhere

To me it doesnt make any sence .. your original earthing to your frame and engine should be more than enough to handle the amount of current coming from your engine and lights..

if everything was screwed up tight would neverbe more than .5 of an Ohm?

and unless your engine has a really really weak ass spark and your earth return wire is really stuffed and it has a high resistance causing a loss of current flow back to the battery it shouldnt do anything as is my understanding anyway

they do look heaps cool tho and even tho i dont belive in them i still want them for some reason ...

I have a 7 point earth kit, much like the one shown above, It has made a better spark for sure, but i have it in a r32 with a RB25, plus they are not hard to install.

how much does the brandname kits cost? Maybe it would be a better choice just to get some spitfire coils if your having electrical issues...

Are there any autoleckys on this forum?... where are you leckies???

hks earthing kits are in the $500 range , i'd rather get a decent $50 lol
