Post Title: Performance Grounding Kits
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 10:27 AM 6/17/2008

Currently offering Grounding Wire Kits for the following vehicles:

G35 Coupe-03-07
G35 Sedan-03-06 & 07-08
350Z 03-06 & 07-09
Altima Sedan 02-06 (2.5L)
Altima Sedan 02-06 (3.5L)
Altima Sedan 07+ (2.5L and 3.5L)
Altima Coupe 08+ (2.5L and 3.5L)
FX35 03-09 (Including newer dual intake engine)
FX45 03-08
Versa- Coming Soon!!!

We need 90-08 Maximas, FX50, and G37 coupe/sedans for testing and design.

If you have a different vehicle that you are interested in getting a grounding kit for, please contact me and we can work something out.

These kits are designed with Quality and Performance in mind.

>Thick 4 gauge wire for maximum signal performance
>Tinned 99.9% OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) wire to minimize corrosion and maximize longevity
>Heavy Duty Copper Lugs- Gold plated terminals are just for looks and can suffer from a "skin effect" meaning only the plating carries current (Why have heavy wire and tiny conducting terminals?)
>Heat shrink terminals for a finished look
>Logo Free Wires mean less conspicuous "stealth" kits and flashier "show" kits.

>SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER PRICES

You be the judge:


Kit Features-

4 gauge Copper wire
Heavy Duty Copper Terminals
All necessary replacement hardware
Detailed instructions with COLOR pictures
Very little modification to fit
Fits under engine cover
Stealth or Show options available


These kits are very similar to GroundingGear's in quality, but not the same in design. Even the Basic kit is more functional than the Stillen kit in that it incorporates connections to the ECU & TCM (VQ 5AT), and also uses larger wires and better terminals.

These kits are far more functional than Active Tuning or Stillen's kits. Contact me for details.

G35/350Z

I'm offering the following kits for the G35/350Z (Single intake) in stages.

Performance

$100-8 wires (6MT)- Does a great job at grounding. Includes ECU ground.
$110-9 wires (5AT)- Same as 6mt basic, but includes transmission/TCM ground.


Show

$120-10 wires (6MT)- 8 wire kit plus 2 additional grounding points.
$130-11 wires (5AT)- Basic kit + 2 additional grounding points

07-08 G35 & 07-09 350Z(Dual Intakes)

6MT

$105- 8 wires- Includes ECU grounding

5AT

$115- 9 wires- Includes ECU and Transmission grounding

AWD

$10- Optional grounding of AWD control unit.


Kits are available in Blue, Red, and Gunmetal Gray. Special colors requests will be accomodated when possible (usually for an additional fee).

*Special discounts for Nico Staff*


FX35

RWD Performance

$110 - 9 wires- This kit accounts for 90% of the available grounding for the RWD FX35. It includes ECU and Transmission grounding. This kit is also quite adequate for the AWD.

RWD Show

$120 - Basic 9 wire kit + 2 additional grounding points.

AWD Kit

$120- Basic 9 wire kit + AWD grounding point

09 FX35 (Dual Intake)- $110 - 6 wire kit (Less wires, but still VERY effective for the 09).


Altima 02-06

3.5L Kit

$60 - 5MT kit - 6 wires

$80 - 5MT + ECU kit - 7 wires - This kit is better than the basic 5AT kit, but is more difficult to install because of ECU location and access.

$75 - 4AT kit - 7 wires

$95 - 4AT + ECU kit - 8 wires - This kit is better than the basic 4AT kit, but is more difficult to install because of the ECU location and access.


2.5L Kit

3.5L Kit

$55- 7 wires

2.5L Kit

$50- 5 wires

Sooo... did you notice a difference?

Thanks!

To be completely honest, I haven't done any real tests. I know that sounds lame, but I finished the install on Saturday morning before going cherry picking.

I had my in-laws in the car with me on the drive out there and I didn't want to scare them. Plus they wouldn't shut up about how to get there...that's for another thread.

Sunday was Father's day down here and I didn't drive much. I'll have to fill up tonight and do some testing. I also want to make one more wire that I missed for a total of 9.

Make if official?

If I get some actual orders, I can make the kits in quite a few different colors. The more who are interested, means I buy the supplies in bulk and can pass on savings.

Sorry, I meant if you do decide to do some before and after dyno testing to make the performance results official But eitherway, nice post, good luck moving them...

I still haven't linked to my tranny or tcu/ecu... because I so lazy/busy.

How much for the stillen* upgrade sets? red 4 gauge?

Dyno results might be possible. I'm getting a new engine next week, so I'd have to wait until probably next month once the break in period is over before I did a before and after dyno on the wires.

I don't have the capital to do it, but it would be interesting to rent out the dyno for a few hours and break down the gains from each wire. But that's why my kits are better priced than the competition. Small overhead = lower priced products lol.

The ECU/TCU isn't that hard to get to. It took me a little over an hour to get to the ECU, but I was taking breaks and also had to figure out how to get in there myself and how to route the wiring. Glove box takes 5-10 mins to remove. Battery cover, windshield cover, and the hole in the ECU boot would probably take 15 mins. The whole job in less than an hour.

Stillen upgrade kits are $55. If you want the kit to be the same gauge wire as the Stillen, then it might be a little less, but $55 for the 4 gauge.

Okay, first off, it was completely worth it. I never would have thought that a box of wire would make such a big difference in my car.

Get home from work, and there is a package on the table. I opened it, and there was the whole grounding kit, with extremely detailed instructions.

Installation was simple if you follow the directions.

So after installation...

First thing that I notice when I tuirn on the car, is that the stereo is a lot louder. I always turn it down low, so as to not wake my wife in the morning. Volume was on 4, but it was kinda loud.

Next thing that I noticed was that I hit the rev limiter. My car usually doesn't accelerate quick enough for that to happen. I did it quite a few times.

Next thing I noticed was that the shifts are a little quicker, and it "hits" harder when I shift.

Idles smoother, and revvs up a little faster.

All in all, this is probably one of the more noticable mods that I have done. It is completely worth the money for this kit.

Nate uses a really nice wire, all copper terminals, and heat shrinked at the connections. Quality work.

Dumb question but do you have to use the one that connects into the ECU?

I'm really considering getting these but I really don't want to have to drill into the ECU or anything like that. I've only ever pulled the ECU out once and that was an effort and a half, do not really want to do it again.

Posted by: TeflonG35 at 10:13 AM 7/7/2008



The table is true. Stillen's instructions were horrid. Also no gains were noticed from stillen's kit. Just glad I got the stillen kit for free. I will probably get the upgrade in the near future.

I personally think the ECU and Transmission wires are two of the most important ones.

Running the wire to the ECU is fairly simple. You just have to remove a couple of plastic covers under the hood and cut a small hole in a rubber boot.

Feed the wire down and attach the terminal to a bolt holding the ECU in place. With my directions, the ECU portion shouldn't take more than 20 mins. Probably less if you're familiar with how to get to the ECU.

I think Greg (?) pointed out that there's a simpler way to get to the ECU. You can check his thread on the Supercharger install to see how he does it. I wanted it to be as painless as possible, so there might be more steps, but you won't be on your back with your legs hanging over the seat.

BTW, the Wires will probably be going on a little sale for the Summer.

Hmmm, sounds like I should hold out for your summer sale

What colours do you make them in?




Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Andy_V35Sky_350GT)
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 9:46 PM 7/7/2008



I can give you a deal on Matte Gunmetal. Email me.

Glossy Charcoal and Red are also an options.

Could even do the charcoal and red together. Like every other wire.

If you have a specific color in mind, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'm picky about what kind and quality of wire goes in here and I also don't like having to bump up the price in order to get a color, but I'll work with my G buddies as much as possible.

Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Drivefastjeff)
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 8:59 AM 7/26/2008

Yes, the difference between the coupe and sedan fitment was negligible (sp?). The basic kit can fit all sedans with the VQ35DE (single throttle).

Just wondering, do you know how complex the installation is for the '08 Altima?
i.e. do you have to remove the engine cover??



Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Major153)
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 9:27 AM 8/4/2008

The Altima kit requires removal of the engine cover (4 screws) and part of the intake system (2 screws, a hose clamp, and a couple of plastic pop rivets). It's relatively easy to install.



Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Sentientbydesign)
Posted by: beckry at 5:55 PM 8/9/2008

Well I installed the kit today, Overkill for 2005 5AT, the instructions were very good (My ECU area looked very different from the one in your picture I had to install the cable lower so it would clear the glove box) The kit was very high quality and I recieved it as expected. I'm very surprised at the change in my G, it's much smoother now, particularly in manual mode, shift happen the moment I up shift or down shift without the usual delay.



Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (beckry)
Posted by: goneracin at 3:01 PM 8/18/2008

Installed the kit this weekend. Shifting and engine response are better than before! Top notch kit. I don't know why anyone would make one when you could buy this one!

Hi,

I'm working on a 4th gen Maxima/I30 kit, but no one in the Max/I30 forum wants to be a test vehicle. I'm not sure why. Blehmco seems to be a really good company. Back in the day when I had my I30 (96), I was going to buy a kit from Blehmco. Now I make the kits. Go figure!

I will say that my kits are higher quality than Blehmco's. Again, it seems like a great little company, I just strive for super high quality. Mediocre doesn't cut it for me.

I think he uses aluminum terminals which just kind of negates using copper wire

Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Klepton)

I need a vehicle in the SoCal area for a few hours to measure and determine the best grounding solution.

It's sad that you can't find someone with a 4th Gen Max/I30 in SoCal for testing. I guess I will order the BlehmCo Groudning Kit for mine. If/when you've tested one of your kits on a 4th Gen do let us know ...

Yeah, bro. Where you been? It's all over the Alti forum and G forum.

The alti guys are getting 2-3mpg more, better audio quality, and some performance gains which are hard to determine because of the "beloved" CVT.

Post Title: Re: (deaftosociety)
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 12:31 AM 9/9/2008

I'd be happy to make a kit for the versa. It would be cool if the versa saw the same fuel economy gains as the altimas are right now. 2-3 mpg is nothing to scoff at!!!

Find me a Versa member here in SoCal and I'll put something together for you guys. All test vehicles are what I call "Semi-sponsored". The kits aren't free, but I cut the prices down quite a bit for their participation.

You can assure them, that their warranties won't be void and they run very little to no risk in testing.

6mt- $110 - 9 wire
5at- $120 - 10 wire
G35X-$130 - 11 wire

Those prices are for Gunmetal Gray or Cobalt Blue. The matte Red will be about $5-$10 more.

No. Not because I don't want to, but because I haven't had the chance to. I want an S13/S14 that's not heavily modded. I/H/E are fine, but a swapped engine makes things difficult.

just installed SBD kit... dont have the TCU wire on yet... but i noticed a

louder radio,
my intelligant key is noticed quicker (usually a noticable delay before it lets you start the car without the key),

a quicker rev,
VDC kicks in later and goes away quicker,
nicer idle,
drive by wire gas pedal not as delayed

basicly everything electronic in the car respones a little quicker, which was my only complaint about the car... especially having the intelligant key with its noticable delay

A hybrid Altima? No. I don't see to many of those around here. I'd need to find one to see how it's grounded. I'd think that Nissan would ground them pretty well considering how much juice is being pushed through it.

Kareem,

Thanks for the review. I'm glad to see that there hasn't been one G customer that's unhappy or had poor results. Get that TCU wire on and reconnect the ECU better and I think you'll like the results even more.

Got the TCU wire installed, but i couldnt get to the VIN plate location you refered to in your install... its on the right side of the transmission. But on the g35x the right side is crowded with the front drive shaft assembly... so i found a point on the left side of the transmisson. shifting is now smoother... low speed shifts especially.... and the car dosent over rev 3rd gear in auto mode any more. Thanks for a great kit. here are the pics

TCU Ground

It improves the performance of your electrical system which allows for quite a few noticeable benefits. Check out the first post in this thread and the comments from other posters.

No, still waiting on a test vehicle to verify fitment. The G,Z,FX, and M all share a very similar platform, so the kits will all be similar, but I don't do generic kits. Each is made to order.

How much would the kit cost me 2006 M35x? And would you email me when you get it?

Cost should be around $110-$120 shipped.

Sure, I'll put you on a list.

Probably 2-3 hours.

Is it manual or auto? If you can locate the TCM and ECM, the process will be a lot faster.

I'll have to do some research to see how the recharge circuit is set up. If there is a voltage/current regulator in-line, I will be VERY reluctant to make anything for you to modify it.

Hi,

I'm working on a 4th gen Maxima/I30 kit, but no one in the Max/I30 forum wants to be a test vehicle. I'm not sure why. Blehmco seems to be a really good company. Back in the day when I had my I30 (96), I was going to buy a kit from Blehmco. Now I make the kits. Go figure!

I will say that my kits are higher quality than Blehmco's. Again, it seems like a great little company, I just strive for super high quality. Mediocre doesn't cut it for me.

I think he uses aluminum terminals which just kind of negates using copper wire

I asked the following questions before purchasing the Grounding Kit from BlehmCo for my 1999 Infiniti I30 Limited:

1) Are the Lugs/Terminals Solid Copper or Gold-plated?
2) How many ground points and how many wires are in the kit for my car?
3) Does this kit include Transmission and ECU grounding?
4) Are there any modifications required to fit this kit on my car?

According to Matt Blehm from BlehmCo:

1) lugs are tinned solid copper. best quality you can buy. none of that made in china crap.
2) There are 4 wires in your kit, which cover every major engine sensor and the alternator. Since it grounds on the block very near the transmission and on all of the sensor grounds, that answers:
3) Yes, those two points are indirectly covered by the placement of the wires.
4) No modifications required. Simply remove a few bolts on the car, clean the connections, and install the wires supplied in the kit. If you have a stock air intake on your '99 I30 (which under the hood is 100% identical to a 99 Maxima, so the kit is exactly the same for both cars), it will make it easier to install if you remove the intake, but is not absolutely necessary. Time factor is about the same to leave it in and work around or to remove the intake and install the wires easier.

I went ahead and purchased the BlehmCo Kit and installed it in my car per the instructions provided. The truth is that I noticed absolutely no difference whatsoever.

Have you fabricated a Grounding Kit for the 4th Gen Maxima/I30 yet?



Post Title: Re: Performance Grounding Kits (Klepton)
Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 1:47 PM 10/28/2008



I'm sorry. I feel really bad because I backed them up.

First off, did you have a sluggish tranny to begin with? Second, if you wouldn't mind emailing me a picture or two of the kit installed, that would help me understand what they offer.

I haven't designed anything for the A32 (95-99 Max/I30) yet, because finding test vehicles is near impossible. I think Kenny has one. I'll see if I can steal his for a couple of hours.

Please forgive my low number of posts.

I do have a kit for the FX35 AWD. I'm kind of surprised that there aren't more FX owners jumping on this. I should also be testing an FX50 in the near future.

The FX35 Kit is usually $120 shipped (US). Canada is usually $10 more for the extra shipping. So $130 via paypal. It usually takes about 10 days to there. I can do some sort of expedited shipping if you'd like, but the cost is really high.

That's a very good price.
I just wonder what the Stillen upgrade kit you have mentioned in the first thread. I am probably getting a Stillent short ram intake. Do I need the upgrade kit? Also what colors are available? Please give me your paypal email. If you dont' like to post it on the board, let me know. I will give you my email and you and mail the info over.

Replied to your email. The Stillen upgrade kit will probably be removed as an option. Those who have purchased the Stillen grounding wires are not happy with the product and need to come talk to me about getting them a proper grounding kit.

I have gunmetal gray available and blue should be here next week. I also have a small amount of red if you wanted to do a multicolored kit.

The gains on the 6mt are kind of hard to quantify. HIDs will light up faster and you'll probably feel a slight improvement in throttle response. Audio should be louder and clearer too.

Fuel economy doesn't seem to be affected much on the 6mt Altima.

Sorry about that. GG's kits are on the high side when you include shipping and they're higher base price.

I don't have anything designed for the Suburban at the moment. If you're ever out in SoCal, feel free to contact me and I can do a custom kit for you.

Probably won't make much difference. The CVTs are seeing the improved fuel economy, with the MT, the fuel economy is directly related to how and when you shift.

Also, install is a pain on the Altima 6 speeds. If you want this for the audio/electronics and possibly throttle response, that's fine, but not for the fuel economy.

Thanks for your interest. We have not designed a G37 kit yet. I will post a request thread in the G forums for a prototype car and you're welcome to check back with me periodically to find out status.

The G37 has a 7 speed Automatic (7AT) and 6 speed Manual (6MT) if I remember correctly. I'm not sure which you were going to purchase.

Went out this morning. I'm going to have to change my policy a little and put a 2-3 day lead time on orders.

My new son (3 weeks old) is taking up a ton of time and energy and getting made-to-order kits out the same or next day is near impossible.

I'll email you a tracking number in a few.

Yes!

I usually give them a 50% off discount AND a credit for every referral that buys a kit up to a maximum of the price they paid.

So, the tester can get the kit for free if they refer a few guys/gals.

Important NOTE: I need somebody with a stock engine. If they have an SR or RB, then the grounds will likely be different and we'll be back at square one.

If you guys want kits for all engine possibilities (including FI apps), I'm happy to accomodate, I just need multiple test vehicles.

Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 8:43 PM 5/12/2009

Are the engine the same size (not displacement, but physical size)?

If not, then the kits will be different between the two. I don't do that "One size fits all" none sense.

Posted by: Sentientbydesign at 9:39 AM 5/13/2009

Kit should be on the very affordable side as there won't be too many grounds, but hopefully it will still benefit you guys who may have corroded or inadequate grounding.

Just wanted to add my experience -

Nate was very prompt with response and shipping, and I was relieved when the package arrived with very thorough and clear instructions for installation, step by step with colour photos. I had the kit installed on my G35 in about an hour with no problems.

One thing is clear - the stock grounds are horrifyingly inadequate. They use flimsy wires for major ground points, bolted straight onto painted metal. In addition to installing the kit, I ground down all the contact points for bare metal contact, and replaced all the stock connectors with new ones to eliminate the existing corrosion.

The result? A lot more than a bundle of wires has any right to do. Throttle response is razor sharp and immediate, and shifts in drive are smoother and quicker. Manual mode is about the same, but I never use it anyway Even the idle is smoother! I wasn't expecting such a difference, but it just goes to show how crappy the stock wiring is and how good Nate's kit is.

Highly recommended, it should be the first mod anyone does!

No. I haven't. I've contacted a couple of individuals about using their G37s as test vehicles, but nobody has actually done so yet.

I'm always happy to design new kits for different cars for my NICO buddies. As such, if you can find a G37 owner (around my area) who's interested in being a tester, I'm happy to design a kit for your cars (there's also a little "thank you" involved too).

Hi, I wandered into the NICO forums for some car stereo advice and found your grounding kits. Needless to say I am interested in purchasing one for my car, 2006 2.5 Nissan Altima.

Please let me know if they are still available and if not any place you could recommend would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've gotten a lot of requests for grounding kits for your model year, but haven't had the opportunity to design one yet. The last attempt was at dusk, in the rain at a San Diego NICO meet.

I'll post a thread in the Altima forum to see if I can't get someone in my area to be a tester.

I can't recommend another company, but I can tell you to steer clear of the Active Tuning Kits. I've had the "pleasure" of replacing one of theirs with one of mine *shakes head*. Over-engineered, "universal", and completely effectless.

Thanks for the heads up on Active Tuning, I was looking at their site but did not feel comfortable, and it sounds like for good reason.

I will be hanging around the boards until you can hopefully design one then I will be in line to grab one.

Awesome! When I post up in a forum that doesn't know me, I usually have to fight for 2 weeks trying to convince the guys that grounding kits DO make a difference. Very tiring. Having "one of their own" post up makes this much easier.

I'm out in Riverside. Depending on where you're at, and when, I can possibly come to you too. Your cost would be 50% of the final cost, then you have the option of referring others and reclaiming that 50%.

I'm not sure what the cost would be without doing a thorough inspection and measurements, but it should be pretty low. Maybe $50- $60 at most.

One of the grounding points is hidden behind the hydraulic clutch line and the gains are not quite as noticeable as on the CVT.

Howdy,

I've got a 3.5 A/C w/ CVT, and I've got two questions:

1. You mentioned earlier that some of the improvements wouldn't be noticeable because of the CVT. Are they actually lessened or are they just not as apparent to the driver?

2. How much would it cost me to have a kit sent to southern CT (06340)?

Thanks, mate.

Hi Isaac,

1) I mentioned that the improvements are not as noticeable on the 6mt, the CVT on the other hand responds VERY well to additional grounding and most of my customers have seen fuel economy, throttle response, and electeronics improvements.

2) The 3.5 Altima kit is currently $62 shipped for gunmetal gray, red, or blue. Shipping is priority mail and includes tracking and insurance.

Hi Andrew,

I was initially going to give you a quote of $120 shipped, HOWEVER, I remembered that the majority of the GT350 is reversed from the G35 (battery, ECU, brakes...essentially everything but the engine). I'd be happy to modify the kit to fit your application, but I'd need a few high-res photos of your engine.

Please click my username to the left and then email me for more details.

Hi Alvin,

No, what you read is NOT true. Everybody's got an opinion and everybody's got a butt...lol

The 2.5 Altima CVT should see improvements in throttle response, fuel economy, and useable power. There are NO claims of it increasing power, just that is allows you to keep the CVT in the powerband versus it shifting early.

Typical fuel economy increase is 2-3 mpg. One 3.5 A/C got 6mpg (better than EPA estimate).

I can get a 2.5 kit up to you for about $65ish.

Got the kit last week and installed on the weekend... spent about 2 hours installing, but this is because I'm a noob and it was my first time working under the hood. I think for an experienced people, installation won't take more than 30 minutes, very easy to install, and very clear instruction.

One thing I definitely noticed is the CVT shifting is smoother than before, and my stereo's bass is louder when listening to the radio. I've yet to confirm that if my mileage improves

=======================================================
Now I confirm that the gas mileage improves too!! Oh my, these 5 little wires are amazing.

Oh also notice that my aftermarket HID light reaches full brightness alot faster!

Installed this kit, and it definitely gave me some more mileage with my CVT. Any chance you'd make one for the Sentra w/ CVT?

Recommend this product for everyone!

Hi Sentient, I was communicating with you via email a little while back, and last you told me you were in the final stages of doing a right hand drive kit for my Japanese V35 350GT. Have you managed to finalise a kit for me? Has been some months now ....

Just posted up a thead in the Sentra forum to gauge interest. If we can get a dozen or so people, I'll find a local Sentra owner and do some testing. It would be awesome if we could gain a few MPG on the Sentra too!!!

Won't happen unless you can find me a local Trailblazer for measurement/testing. Are you on any Chevy Trailblazer forums? If you want to set something up, then I'm game.

Sorry that this has taken so long. I'm still finalizing the grounding points. I really don't want to guess and send something 10k+ miles away that won't work properly.

The grounding kit does not include the alternator to positive as this is not a ground.

I do offer a Big 3 kit with that wire.



Post Title: Re: (Sentientbydesign)
Posted by: bodiby at 12:18 PM 10/12/2009



duhh - you got me there on the grounding kit not including a positive wire.

My initial goal was just to do the big three. After everyone's glowing reviews I want both. If you added the one wire to the grounding kit, that would cover the big three, correct. How much for that?

Hey Bryan,

Sorry for the delay. I should have put a hold on taking any orders this month. We're in the process of moving into our new place and everything is a mess. Couple that with my 6 month old son going ballistic yesterday and screaming his head off at the slightest sound and it wasn't a pretty weekend.

Good news is that your shipping label is printed and your kit was mostly assembled last night (still need to add the replacement hardware and shrink tube the terminals). Bad news is that it won't go to the post office until tomorrow.

Oh a highlight, it looks gorgeous

Technically, yes. The big 3 is covered by the grounding kit and that 1 positive wire. If you're going to be pushing super high current and plan on going aftermarket on the alternator, then I'd suggest buying the complete big 3 AND the grounding kit as the Big 3 has 1/0 wires and an in-line fuse.

Price for both is around $72 shipped (in 4 gauge).

Thanks Nate, you rock! Can't wait Just email me the tracking number when ya get the chance (or attach it to the paypal transaction, whichever you do).

Take care,

Bryan

I will not be upgrading the alternator. If possible, I would like the big 3 (with 1/0) and the additional wires from the grounding kit in 4. I have a 4AT (I know that is more) and would like the ECU option. If I am going to do it, I want to do it right the first time.

Oops. What generation of Altima do you have...scratch that. What year? I was quoting you for a 4th gen (07+). Sounds like you have an 02-06?

The 4AT with ECU is $95 shipped. I don't have a Big 3 designed for that car just yet. I might be able to whip something up for you though.

Hi Sentient,

I am not trying to hassle you, but rather just ringing your bell as a reminder. We have communicated many times about you converting your standard G35 coupe kit to suit my rhd V35 Skyline. Haven't heard from you about it for a few months .... and am still waiting. Do you need any measurements from me?

Cheers from Australia, Andrew

Sorry guys. I just found your emails. They were hiding in my phone's outbox. Apparently Yahoo and my HTC don't like each other and I've had 7 emails sitting in my outbox not being sent for a week or two.

I sent you both emails.
