What exactly is in this kit you're selling? The three ground cables in your picture?

Three ground cables and the negative battery connector.

Have a couple kits ready to ship!

Some info on quality of this kit
- Cables are oversized, top of the line, Oxygen Free Copper(OFC) cables
- Super flexible cables! Not like you typical stiff OEM cables. Easy to route.
- Uses Raychem heatshrink tubing. One of the best in the industry. great protection from high heat and many forms of liquids.
- Copper ring terminals with fitted ring sizes to match OEM bolt/mounting points.
- Red positive cables available upon special orders.
- Customization available! If you need a custom kit made for your unique setup, just send your required specs and we'll figure it out together!

Bookmarked for later.

Konster · 02-13-2016, 06:02 PM

I'll take a kit with a positive terminal.

PM'ed!

toguedrifter · 03-06-2016, 01:22 PM

After purchasing this kit a while back for my S14 I finally got around to having it installed. It was successful and works great! The only thing is that I was unable to use the positive terminal and cable because of the additional factory connectors that feed off of the same cable that the S13 doesn't seem to have. Anyway, I recommend this grounding kit for a straight forward and clean setup!

Konster · 03-06-2016, 04:48 PM

Haven't got the chance to instal the kit yet, but everything looks quality. Quick shipping as well.

Would recommend.

Glad you guys like it!

The positive terminal does take some modifying the stock harness to make it work. You have to cut off the oem battery connector and crimp the ring terminal connector that I include with the positive battery connector. As for the additional factory connectors that usually mount to the side, you have a couple options you can take..
a) cut off the oem connectors and wire them directly with the main line and then crimp to the supplied ring terminal. or..
b) take the side factory connector adapter, drill the mounting hole 1 size larger, then just mount directly to the side of the new positive terminal connector. (that's what i did)
I've heard from another customer that did option b, they didn't have to drill the hole larger. the side bolt on the new positive terminal connector fit perfectly through the factory connector adapter. I guess Nissan made different sizes..

I did option b, will upload a better picture later.
I also use the covers the battery terminal connectors come with because that's a requirement on the track.

I'm confused...are modifications needed if you have an S14?

Looks very nice, but I want to be sure before I buy.

To replace the negative grounds? No. Simply remove the factory grounds and bolt this kit in place.

To use the matching positive battery terminal connector, yes. the OEM factory harness has a built-in battery terminal connector which will need to be cut off and you will need to crimp on a copper ring terminal that is supplied with the new positive terminal connector.
And if you notice, there's a couple lines that also connect to the positive terminal where the factory harness uses an adapter with connectors. And as stated in my previous post, you have a couple options...
a) cut off the oem connectors and wire them directly with the main line and then crimp to the supplied ring terminal. or..
b) take the side factory connector adapter, drill the mounting hole 1 size larger, then just mount directly to the side of the new positive terminal connector.

This is the same for s13 and s14, and all factory unmodified harnesses on KA, SR's, CA, and RB's.

Ordered one of the kits and got it installed last night. Easy install on a SOHC. Cleaned up all the mounting spots and attached the wires. All of the rings were the correct size. I ordered the matching positive terminal also, just cut the old connector off, crimped the new one on, and then drilled out the accessory connector so the new mounting bolt would fit. Clean set up, easy install. Pictures attached. Thank you.

thanks for the info dkim.

dkim1985 · 03-22-2016, 02:32 PM

Just a quick update..

I've been running time attack with a couple friends so been a little busy with track stuff.
Recently got in a new batch of cables and connectors so going to start pre-making some kits when I get a chance.

Here's some pictures of the first time attack event of our season if anybody wants to check it out.. mines the Cherry Red Pearl s13 hatch..

We just finished round 2 last weekend, will post pictures when I get those in.

adicarlo · 04-04-2016, 01:05 PM

I just received the Engine and Trans cables and I can speak to the quality:

Wires are KnuKonceptz which have a 4.5 rating on Amazon with over 800 reviews.
Have a little extra length which is perfect for engine movement. Even though I'm running Drift Freaq mounts and my motor doesn't move at all lol
Have a light translucent black shielding that makes it a perfect dress up piece, better then the crappy stock ground cables.
Cheaper than any quality grounding cables you'll get off Amazon or your local store. Unless your looking to make 25 ft of these things which I was not. I already have enough extra of everything.
Ends appear to be crimped and covered in heat shrink. Terminals appear to be quality also as I can't find the standard made in china markers you get on autozone crap.
Also the terminals are perfectly sized for mounting. No generic 1 size fits all stuff you get online.
A true tailored product.

Not at the moment but if there's enough interest, I can do the research. If you can find atleast a handful of guys interested in purchasing, I'll get started.
