I think my last "interest" thread got canned. Hopefully this one has better content to keep up.

I'm looking for a CVT sentra in Southern California for testing/prototyping. Click the link in my signature for more details on what I do.

If I still lived in SoCal I'd be happy to help. Unforunately I moved back to Michigan. Good luck man.

Why not give it a try on a Rogue too? 2.5 engine with CVT, similar to Sentra.....

Because you're not in SoCal to let me prototype on your vehicle

I'll start a thread in that forum too to see if there is any interest.

No. It's like pulling teeth. Aligator teeth.

Can't find any Sentra testers. And the few 240 and Versa guys are the available are so unreliable (people and cars) that it's been just as fruitless.

I'm going to have to build one of those ghay http://www.SuperDuperFakeCarSponsorhip.com websites so that I can charge people to let me use their cars hehehe.

It's too bad you don't live in the Detroit area. I could have a new test vehicle for you every 8 months or so. I'm currently sitting on both a Sentra and Versa I'd love to use as a guinea pig.

Good luck bro.

What does audio equipment have to do with the transmission? You can use me as a sponsor/advertisement on the road and at car shows if you wanna send me audio equipment?

The two have nothing to do with each other, they just both suffer from poor grounding in some of the Nissan products and can be improved upon with a grounding kit.

I'm not sponsoring anybody across country...

I need somebody in SoCal to lend me their car for prototyping, then we can test what if any benefits the Sentra can gain from grounding.

I live in Southern California. Can I ask what exactly would you do with the Sentra?

My car is a 2008 Nissan Sentra 2.0It is completely stock. I am very interested on what a grounding kit could do for this car.

Thank you.

You can PM or email if needed. [email protected]

I would need your car for approximately 3 hours. I will "hit" as many banks as possible in that time frame, then provide you with an eBay generic grounding kit consisting of a tangle of wires that are largely made of steel or other non-copper conductors.

After you email me and call me for days on end, I'll send you a link to a DIY eBay grounding kit thread for some other car (probably a dodge neon, cuz all cars are the same...).



I'd need the care for 2-3 hours. What I will be doing is verifying where the stock grounds are, and then routing and measuring the most efficient grounding path.

If you are only interested in having the kit made for your car, then I will charge you 50% of the final price for the kit. If you are willing to give unbiased feedback on the forums and possibly pass the word around (assuming some good improvements are found) then the kit would be free for you. And I might even give you a sticker

I don't need to take your car anywhere. I might ask to do a before and after test drive with you, but I usually forget that part lol.

I'd also need to do the work at your residence or somewhere that you set up (preferably in OC) as my current residence is a mid-rise condo complex in Irvine and we all know how "liberal" Irvine is about car work.

Uh Huh...and will this ebay kit come with full instructions? LoL

Alright well, sounds good.Not too sure about working at my residence either, but I will let you know in email. Are you able to work anywhere? I'm good for Friday after 12 noon, free Saturday, but I'm busy Sunday. I can also do Monday as well.

I can meet you up somewhere in OC, if you want to meet up halfway or wherever. I'm not going to flake out, as I am interested.

And on Irvine, I think it's illegal now to turn on your car in the morning and leave it running, for fear that people might steal it when you leave it for just a minute.
