Hey guys. 

I just like to post my experience with the grounding wire kit I got installed a few weeks ago. 

It wasn't designed for my car it was just a HKS one I found on ebay that I got my mechanic to install last service. 

I had one on my V35 which helped with improving my auto change gears. 

I wasn't having problems with gears in the V36 but I was having trouble with the lag in my throttle so I ordered the kit and also a A'PEXi smart accel controller to help with the throttle. 

In the end I didn't need to install the controller because the Grounding wires are great! It has reduced the lag heaps and made driving the car more pleasurable. Highly recommend if anyone is having any lag issues in the throttle. Might be just what you need. 

PS. I have a A'PEXi smart accel controller for sale.

hey @V35_Paul

Are you able to post a link to the one you bought? :)

The one i got is gone but this is the same

Just a quick question, did you clean up all the factory grounds first to give a good comparison?  I haven't known anyone who has installed grounding kits on the skyline specifically, but from prior experience on other cars, results have varied from 'awesome improvement' through to 'no noticeable change' depending how good the factory ground connections are, even on the same model vehicle.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
