I just received my SBD grounding kit last night. And let me tell you this.

WOW I am very impressed with the level of this kit. Every wire looks like it was made w/ TLC. The quality is excellent! And the instruction are the best I have seen. And all this from an individual working on them at home. My hat is off to you Nate.

I have seen far less quality in material and instructions from the big money aftermarket companies. And the price was better then kits containing less wiring.

This is a must buy!

I'm really glad you're happy, Jerry. Everybody who's bought one has been really thrilled and that means I'm doing a good job...apparently lol.

Let me know how you like it when you tap that throttle for the first time or pop in your favorite CD and realize it CAN sound better lol.

SBD...you haven't said if your wires on your car made any difference (6MT)...or maybe I missed it?

Can you post up a quick write-up? I may be interested if the results are good.

I'm going to try and get mine on tonight if we run out of work in the shop by 3. If not I will get them on tomorrow. After the install I am going to make a pull w/ the dynolicious app that i got for my iPhone. I will post the results here and on the thread for the dynolicious.

I think I posted up a reply in one of the other threads, but I'm happy to reitterate it.

The two noticeable results on the 6mt were that the rpms shot up much faster. I don't want to say that the wires produced more HP, because I'd be making an assumption, not stating a fact. However, if the engine accelerates to a given RPM faster and there is little to no slippage (manual transmission), that would lead me to believe that there is higher HP.

In my mind, it really doesn't matter because I'm going faster and it feels good regardless of how it's happening.

The second noticeable improvement was that my audio was cleaner and louder than before. I've delayed my audio upgrade because of it. Disclaimer: The base speakers still suck. They bleed easily and could use a 5 range EQ.

Overall, the car is much more fun to drive and I don't feel like I'm pulling the car around anymore. My VDC seems to kick in later (a little slip isn't bad) and it releases quicker too.

Another Note: The results that I experienced were experienced when I wasn't "looking for results" like many of us do when we add on new mods. I drove my car only partially grounded for a couple of weeks before I finished the rest (this meant that the ECU and half of the rest of the kit was not connected). I finished the kit on that Sunday night and then drove to work the next day (not remembering that I installed the kit). Later that afternoon, my wife came to drop off lunch for me and wanted to know why I was still at work, because my optometry appointment was in less than 10 mins. I got in my car, loaded the new CD that my wife just brought me and started driving.

I immediately noticed that the CD sounded great and my car moved effortlessly. The the time I was half way to my appointment, I was pushing over 90 and had to slow down.

The wires didn't click as a cause until I pulled up to the optometry office with 1 min to spare.

10 mins -2 mins to get in my car and get the CD out of the case (that cellophane was a pain).-1 extra min-----------------=7 mins to pull out of the parking lot, jump on the freeway, weave through traffic (4 miles), and deal with 2 more lights before pulling into the optometry office's parking lot.

Actually, I'm doing a new kit for the 07 sedan today. I left me tools in my car, so I haven't been able to do all of the measurements, but about 85% of the kit is done. I just need exact cable lengths, pictures, and to work out one small nexus detail, then it will be done.

Email me. I'll give you a special discount as a test vehicle (the kit I'm designing is for the 07 RWD, not AWD, so I need to make sure of a couple of things).

I got my kit installed friday afternoon. The first thing I noticed was how smooth the car idles. It is almost like it is not running. Second thing I noticed was the throttle responce. Not so much off idle, but under part load. WOW what a difference.

I haven't had a chance to test w/ the dynolicious yet. I spent 4 hrs satuday cleaning the car and then taking pics of it. So I haven't taken it out to get it dirty.

The pics were taken by a friend who is a professional photographer. As soon as I get the disk from him, I'll post them up.

Thanks for asking.

I'm so jealous of her. I want a bunch of awards and a scholarship to a University. If I could find a way to pay for it (other than drug dealing, student loans, or no sleep), I'd persue GD, Psychiatry, Culinary Arts, and Pure Mathematics.

I'm thinking of doing some upgrades to my G and while reading a few threads had noticed members mentioning ground wires. And honestly not knowing that good ground wires can yield good results for your engine. I would like to purchase your premium wires for my 04 G35 sedan. Those cover the transmission as well if I'm correct.

Let me know what I need to do to recieve them.

Thanks
