you can always try making your own if you can't find what you're after

The forum hosting the thread I linked is where I got the idea to try grounding wires on my car. I've never owned a v35 so cannot comment if it works on these cars but there was a definite lag in shifting on my auto v36 which the grounding wires helped with. Due to this it felt like the transmission delivered the power better through the improved shift response so it had a placebo effect of making the car "feel" faster.

I was skeptical before I tried it, but it definitely made a positive difference to driving my car.

a few things too;

- it won't add anymore kw or hp

- I didn't notice an improvement in my audio system quality

- only makes a difference for improving auto transmission shifts as the manual won't make a difference, because you change gears manually (duh :P )

Interesting story: A long time ago I ran a heap of cable around my engine & earthed everywhere recommended, & then some. Went for a drive & couldn't pick a difference in shift changes or performance with any aspect of the car.

My wife drove the car a few days later & when she returned she asked what I had done to it because she had noticed gear shifts to be slightly better. Now I did this when you was away & didn't tell her anything about it. It so happens that she always picks up on changes in cars (good or bad) before anyone else I know.

The moral; don't spend more than $10 on some cable & crimp connectors because that's about all it's worth. You probably won't feel a thing if you're like me (or many others on here) & will feel ripped off if you spend too much.

As Scotty said, the real difference is the Transgo shift kit. Worth the money & then some :thumbsup:

yeah i think youd get the same effect from just removing the earth strap from the engine, the earth lead from the battery, cleaning all the surfaces, and putting it all back together

i personally find the V35 auto shift changes to be better than the auto in our 2008 porsche boxster...

For the money, even if it gave you 0.5kw power increase (due to less power loss through the gearbox for whatever reason) or smoother shifts/response, then it is worth it - hence why I put mine on :D

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
