Umm are the instructions useless without viewing the pictures??

Interesting, thanks for posting this up. Any idea when the special ends?

 

The Stillen instructions keep referring you back to the pics. For example, it'll say ... connect cable to point B as shown in Photo #2.

One word of caution. This installation requires you to remove the negative (ground) cable from your battery. So after everything is completed and you reconnect it, you'll have to reprogram your radio presets and perform the Power Windows reset as well. Not a big deal but just something to keep in mind.

 

Don't know. You may want to PM kyle@stillen on this board. Here's the thread where he announced the availability of the kits.

Stillen grounding kit......Do u have any more pictures.....

 

So does anyone know if 4 gauge wire on for this application be an advantage or is it over kill. I am going to order this but I need a "real" answer if anyone who is knowledgeable knows. I don't know what the power output on a car is or the gauge of the power wires in our car. I was always told (at least in Audio) that the ground wire should be as big as your power wire. So if you have a 4 gauge power wire you get a 4 gauge ground wire. Just want to know so I can decide on the Stillen or GroundingGear.

 

#4 AWG is pretty thick wire. it's mainly used in audio applications and would be a slight overkill for grounding kit.

to the real question: would there be an advantage over #8... yes, but nearly immeasurable. you'll see the law of diminishing returns set in...

 

Yup. I spoke to a buddy at work, who has an Electrical Engineering background. His answer was very similar to yours.

 

This can be found on Section 2-51 of your Owner's Manual. I copied it from there.

Automatic adjusting function (Coupe)
CAUTION

When the battery cable is removed from the battery terminal, do not close either of the front doors. The automatic window adjusting function will not work and the side roof panel may be damaged.

The power window has an automatic adjusting function. When the door is being opened, the window is automatically lowered slightly to avoid contact between the window and the side roof panel. When the door is closed, the window is automatically raised slightly. While the automatic adjusting function does not work, the window will be controlled as follows:

o When the door is opened, the window lowers for approximately 2 seconds.
o While the door is open, the window cannot be raised.


If the windows do not close automatically

If the power window automatic function (closing only) does not operate properly, perform the following procedure to initialize the power window system.

1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Close the door.
3. Open the window more than halfway by operating the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then hold the switch more than 3 seconds after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic function to confirm the initialization is complete.
6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other windows.

If the power window automatic function does not operate properly after performing the procedure above, have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer.

 

Anyone who has done this install, what was the gauge of the wire used in the stock setup?

 

Any details for install ? Tips ?

 

the stock wiring looks to be between 12 and 18 AWG in different places.

 

Hey, for some reason when I spoke to a Stillen rep through e-mail and then phone, he claimed that the $90 special never existed...lol I guess their customer service is living up to their name huh?

 

What!? It's a good thing I save their sale emails that they send out. Ask him for his email and I'll forward it to them.
