Hey, just some feedback on mine.
*Super fast shipping - ordered last Friday and got them Monday!
*Improved the throttle response. Now it's nice and smooth and linear.
*No other improvements can be seen or felt. Was Really looking for the 5AT to get over it's shift lag but that did Not happen..... Perhaps this kit needs a ground wire running to the auto trans down below?

I experimented with a direct ground on the transmission housing but it didn't improve results and it substantially increased install difficulty and cost. In the end I determined it wasn't worth it at all.

Thanks for your business though.

My thoughts
1. fast shipping!
2. great quality
3. instructions very clear (i suck at installing shiet but I did it in 10 mins)
4. throttle definitely improved. It takes a little bit getting used to but once you do it really does feel better (I just drove a loaner g37 and it was particularly noticeable the difference)
5. shifts slightly faster (most noticeable at mid-rpm, the WOT shifts were always pretty fast so no real change there)

Overall, def worth it. Hell it's a cheaper mod than H&k drop in filters (which definetely did nothing lol)

Still dunno why infinity can't properly ground a car lol from factory, but as long as it's keeping our boy Jeremy in business, it's all good : )

Well I can help make the choice easier. I'm out of 8 guage wire and I'm very likely not going to be carrying it any longer because it doesn't sell anywhere near as well as the larger 4 guage. So for the forseeable future, it will be 4 gauge only for the G37. I still have some 8 guage for the G35 and 350Z though.

ok i just recieved these and damn what a easy straight forward install! packaging was great fast shipping and great looking CF wrapped 4G wires !!!!

here was my problem today that lasted 4 hours

ok so as i was finishined up and about to tighten the Neg battery cable down guess what! i dropped the Friggin nut inside the battery tray , i had never removed my battery but wow what a PITA i had to remove the plastics and unbolt the battery holder and lift the heavy *** battery out the damn car and ran into another problem , i did not hve the proper tool to removed the battery tray that it rests on so i gave up an put everything back together cause there was no way to get to that bolt. so i did not secure the BB ground wires i only put in place the Neg battery terminal to be able to drive down the street to the auto store .

now here was the biggest pain .... i go into the store and grab a 12mm socket so i took everything out again and was able to get the battery tray out and i see the bolt and i go to grab it an it ran from me cause it fell in another hole where it was long gone L O L!!!

so i go back into store and find the proper new screw and nut the secure the neg battery terminal so i was happy to put everything once back together and as i was about to carefully place the nut on new bolt the MOTHER FR FELL AGAIN ......... AHHHHH I WANTED TO SCREAM OUT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS FOR THIS NIGHTMARE LOL.

so once again i take everything out and i grab that bolt and put everything back together and secured the bolt finally and as i was trying to secure the bolt to tightest possible my FRIGGIN socket fell in there and i quit i gave the F up lol.

so everything is on perfect and ready to go Thanks BB for great product but me and that battery did not get along . besides the fact that i have a 12mm socket under my battery tray i really like the CF grounding kit one of these days i will go back at it and get that socket lol but im done for the day .....
