the manual is now on the stillen website

 

It's pretty weak that they didn't include step 1 at the beginning of the instructions telling you that you need to remove your intakes first! That's kind of important... Also, this is not our engine bay, it's a 350Z. I can still get the info I need though.

 

It's like night and day. I'd say at least a 95% improvement. Just took the car out now to go get some gas. Tested it in DS mode and paddle shifted at different RPMs ranging from 3K to 5K and there was has no delay. I wasn't using it before because of the damn lag time but now it's fun.

 

The kit consists of 3 separate cables with 11 grounding points. There's a nut to connect to the battery's negative but it didn't fit for me. I had to go dig up another one. There's also some zip ties.

 

Where? I'd like to get a soft copy which I'm sure is better than the one I scanned. By the way, the instructions consist of 4 pages. The first 2 cover the installation on the 350Z. Pages 3 and 4 focus on the G37 which has different grounding points.

NEVERMIND. I found it under the 350Z. You have to refer to page 3 for the G37 install instructions. This is better than what I got with the kit and scanned for you guys. The pics are in color. Here's the link: http://www.stillen.com/product_files/606358~inst.pdf

 

awesome, thanks again for providing it.

 

How hard is this install? Should someone with no electrical experience have a professional do it?

 

^^^ Yes lol that is what I am doing.

 

You can do it yourself easily. It shouldn't take longer than a half hour at the most. You need 0 electrical skills. Just make sure you disconnect the battery first and know how to use a ratchet. Unbolt a few bolts, connect the wires, connect them back. You will need to remove the engine cover but that is only 4 screws. Easy.

 

and, if so, what should I expect to be enhanced? Thanks.

 

Sounds good black betty, gonna order it right now. I hate the lagging shifts on manual mode.

 

You need no experience at all to install these grounding kits. You arn't replacing any wiring, you are simply running better quality wires directly to the factory grounding points. The new wires are eventually grounded directly to the negative terminal on the battery supplying a direct feed of current to the factory wires. It allows the electronics to have a far supperior signal compared to the one they were previously getting just being grounded to parts of the car.

 

The greatest gain is for AT users in the improved shifting to be honest. If you intend to add an aftermarket stereo it's worthwhile. Other than that, it may help your electrical system run more efficiently but it is not going to produce any extra HP on a dyno, no matter what manufacturers claim. It may help throttle response be a little smoother and quicker, but it's pretty good on this car already.

FWIW, I am going to be making one for myself and I will be glad to produce them for others at a significantly reduced cost from any I have seen.

 

I wasnt sure if i had to drill new ground points or not. But this sounds like a pretty basic cheap easy mod. Its a win win!

 

Ya if i knew what i was doing id make my own too. 100 bucks is pretty steep for some wires. What are u asking? Pm price.
