Received. Thank you.

After going into the engine bay to take a closer look, I discovered that the alternator on the G is a beast to get to. I can get a good measurement, but you are going to have one heck of a time getting that wire on there... take a look.

Shipping to Guam 96542 will not be an extra cost. I will send it USPS Priority Mail, but don't know how quickly it will arrive. The time calculated simply says "Military Mail" I suppose however long it generally takes to get something from the States.

so the Alternator would be pretty difficult to get to. You'd have to lift the car, take the underpan off and get to it that way.

here's a pic of the alternator and it's connecting wire to the battery.

and here's a pic of the battery connection. it's the wire not in the loom, which is already 8AWG...

the only way to improve this is to step up to 4AWG or higher, which i think is overkill for my non-hooked up stereo.

Good call. The battery + cable install isn't such an easy mod as the basic batter/chassis/block grounding is. I sure as heck wouldn't want to tackle that unless I was having problems.

I have red and black in stock in 8 AWG ready to ship.

There has to be somebody out there that wants a custom color or 4 AWG done???

This is the best photo I have of it. I don't have it in stock so it would be several days to get your set out in carbon fiber. Let me know so I can order it you want it in this color.

Welcome to the forum Steve! The secret is to PayPal the appropriate amount to me and let me know which set you'd like. Please send me a PM with what size wiring and which color you'd like. See the first post for details.

Thanks for your order! Be certain to put which color you'd like in the comment section of the Paypal payment as well as where you'd like it shipped.

Will your set work on a G35 Sedan? If you haven't done one, I may be interested in trying it, although I have no clue how the 2 compare. I may look to see if the Stillen G35 kit is the same as the G37 kit and get back to you here.

But..... I would like to get a set if I can.


EDIT: Just checked Stillen's site and the part numbers are the same. So, I'm wondering if the mounting locations are the same... I bet they're pretty close, if not.
