Doesn't do anything, there have been many dyno's on many different cars and the most I have ever seen was like a 2 hp gain, and 2 hp on a turbo car could have been colder air going into the FMIC.

Make your own, even though thats a good price you don't know if the wires are cut appropriatly for a 240sx, plus you can do it for cheaper or as cheap.

10-15 feet 8 gauge multi strand wire, 8 gauge ring connectors from a radio shack or similar place, also heat shrinking wrap if you want it to look really nice. Cut the wires and crimp the rings on the ends and shrink wrap the ends and viola you made your self a kit.

What are the grounding points and how they should they be tied into the battery?

The ground wires do work, but you have to use good quality stuff. It's basically for a smoother, more efficient car. It'll do more for a car that has bad factory grounding, versus a car that is already well engineered.

I am making my own kit as we speak out of Monster Cable 4guage wire, gold plated high quality copper ends, and Monster Cable battery terminals. The best way to find good grounding points is with a multimeter. The head installer at the stereo shop I worked at recommended the 4 guage, and he also said to not go more than three feet with a wire, because it loses it effectiveness the longer the grounding distances.
