What's the best hyper ground kit to get?

I saw a Nismo one on ebay for like $45 shipped. I also saw other ones for like $28 shipped. Are they a noticeable improvement in idling and perfromance, or are they really just for show? Thanks.

Some people say they help and some people say they don't notice a difference.

And I doubt it's a real Nismo since they're name alone is worth like $50.

Get some 10GA wire and some ring terminals and make your own for about $10.

Nismo doesn't make a grounding kit. I would get the HKS circle earth one. That looks hot!

matt93se sells a good grounding kit that keeps your engine bay from looking messy like those other generic kits.

20' of 8ga wire ran me $5 at home depot. if you're handy with a crimping tool or even a pair of pliers and a blow drier, you can put ring terminals and heat-shrink tubing on it. shouldn't cost you more than $10 and you can spend the other $35 on something else.

What do you use for the ground end? In the vqpower writup it looks like the kit has some kind of collection hub.

When I made mine, I just put a ring terminal on it and put it on the bolt in the middle of the terminal for the negative battery cables. It's kind of hard to describe, I'll try to get a picture sometime today or tomorrow.

Ok, cool. A picture would be good. But wouldn't you end up with a whole stack of ring terminal's?
