Black Betty, You measured the wire to the starter yet? Thought i'd seen you mentioning at some point that you were going to upgrade the wiring to your starter...

I did the starter on another of my cars, not this one. I didn't do the starter because it's a pain in the butt to get to on this car. I think you have to get at it from underneath and need to remove the underbody diffuser. If you want a wire for the starter I can do that too but I'm not sure it needs it.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the recent orders folks. Keep 'em comin'!

I've ordered the Carbon Fiber, White, and Blue Tech Flex to keep in stock so sets in those colors will ship immediately after I get them in next week.

Carbon Fiber looks HOT!

I'm infinitely better at fabricating grounding wires than I am at photography. The crappy photos don't do these justice. I got in the Carbon Fiber to make a set for gmlee86. They are the best looking yet. Now I have to make myself a set like these.

All orders placed have been fabricated and shipped. I've had to order a bunch more Carbon Fiber Tech Flex becasue it does look great and the demand for it has been outstanding. Thank you all. I'll probably make a CF set for myslef to replace my black set on Betty.

I still have some red sets, nobody wants red?

If you'd like something off the wall color wise, let me know. I'll get any color that's available.

Keep the orders coming.

Not yet. When I finally bite the bullet and make the long wire from Battery + to Alternator + I'll let you know. It's not going to be an easy install though because of the alternator location.

Fantastic. If you know folks who on a G37 you should tell them to become members here anyway. They needn't be members to buy though, they can just look at this thread, decide if they like them, and email me to buy.

Somebody's trying to get a referral bonus. It's working!

I haven't and wasn't planning to as I don't see that there's a real need, but if you have a suggestion or request I'd gladly do a 1 off set for you for an extra charge of course.

The Tech Flex just slips over the wire before the terminals are crimped on. It has to be cut with a hot knife and it's secured in place by 3:1 heat shrink to ensure it stays put.

Currently in stock I have Black, Red, Blue (looks like it's a very close match for AB), White, and Carbon Fiber. I'll order any other color that's available if requested but there may be a week or so wait to get it in stock. Everything else ships same or next day.
