Hey guys,

I need your help. I just bought a grounding kit and wanted to know if I should ground the wires the way the instructions says or does it matter where it goes. I'm trying to avoid removing my air box for one of the wires install.

Thanks

 

Follow the instructions

Removing airbox is SUPER EASY. Just don't drop it

 

Great! Thanks!

 

Why do you think there are instructions???

 

When I purchased the grounding kit, I received instructions on where to install the wires. That's why I asked if it mattered when they go

 

What kit did you buy?

 

I bought a 4 piece kit from ebay. There was only one person selling this kit for the 5th generation max.

 

^^ First 2 posts are pure GOLD

 

Dumb question but what did you guys fix by doing this?

 

it's supposed to helkp with starting & brighter dashboard but no clue with this eBAYstuff

 

My dashboard got darker over the years. How do I tell - without taking it apart - whether it's the lamp/led or poor grounding?

 

Magic.

 

Nah, it doesn't matter where they go. Forget the included instructions too, they're worthless. Just ziptie the eyelits of each cable to make one long cable and hook them up whichever way looks best.





Seriously though....

 

This thread makes me lol.

"Help! I bought something but I don't know what it does or what to do with it. Maybe the Internet peoplez will help me."

 

Next thread is: " Just got this performance chip. How much horsepower is everyone seeing from this?"

 

Haven't seen an intake thread pop up in a while now either, Im sure thats coming soon.

 

I am thinking about buying the same kit. Im pretty sure the guy selling these on eBay is on this forum.

Nah, his next thread will be: "I bought some blinker fluid to make my turn signals blink faster, but I don't know where to put the fluid. Help pleaze"

 

Wow, I sell the kit and then I get criticized on my instructions. That is where the starter ground goes. It is one of the most important parts of the install. Just Pleeeeeeeeze do not ground the starter lead. You could potentially kill someone doing that. Good luck.

 

^^^^Your instructions are beyond thorough dude....you must factor in mental fortitude to get the job done . Thanks again for making such a quality product for us, I could immediately tell the difference in my transmission shifting(2-3 slipping not as bad)

 

I just installed his kit this weekend also. No issues whatsoever. It's a good kit and the instructions couldn't be any better.

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can this kit really help with everything that it says it can? I find it hard to believe that a $25-$50 grounding kit can have such an impact on my electrical system.

Or are the grounds I have currently way more deteriorated than I realize?

It seems like a totally worthwhile investment if it truly does what he says it does. Not much money for some good returns.

 

Most likely, especially since you live in a cold winter climate. A grounding kit should make a noticeable difference.

 

I don't think anyone is criticizing your instructions. Just one numbnut who doesn't grasp the concept of instructions and why they're included.

Are you the Ebay seller he was referring to?

 

Yeah, I just looked into it (using the search function) for about the last fifteen minutes and the general consensus is that it's a good idea. Everyone who's bought it says that they would recommend it.

Next time I'll use the search function BEFORE asking my question

 

I just asked a simple question and it gets blown out of proportion. My purpose of asking was to get additional information. that's what the forum is for, Right?
I might not be knowledgeable about imports since this is my first maxima and i've been around muscle cars my whole life. I joined the forum to know my car, so that when I ask questions I can relay them over to others that would need my/our help.


thank you for those who replied without being sarcastic and as for Shinjiduo, I look forward to installing your product. thanks!

 

Don't sweat it dude, this forum is full of a bunch of guys that think installing a radio or an air filter makes them some kind of internet mechanic and if you ask a question then you are just a noob dumbass.


If the kit helps you car, it just means that your factory grounds are dirty, corroded, not that it needed more grounds. Good luck.

They like to bully me

 

George go have relations with a moose and smoke that stuff you crashed your car on

 

Ouch

 

Meh The_Fixer is just crouchy

 

Yes, I am the Ebay seller he was referring to.

 

Please enlighten me. What additional information did you receive? To follow the included instructions?

Your initial post was based purely on you not grasping how grounding kits work, otherwise I doubt you'd ask if you could be lazy and not remove your air box.

 

I'm question was if it mattered there they go. I've seen different instructions with different mounting locations. I understand and can follow the instructions. My questions was for information not installation help.

 

Of course it matters where they go.
