Jaymz21 Neutral Newbie February 18, 2004 Share February 18, 2004 i dunno leh...for me after i changed to 4awg wires, the idling very quiet... and also the intermittent distortion from the radio seemed to have lessened quite a lot... throttle response got better also.. original cables were....dark brown.. now the 4awg i did myself are red wif yellow heatshrink sleeves... but the drawback of using 4awg is that the lugs for it r damn freaking big... kaichin sold the lugs for 60c each...which isnt exactly too bad... i know other people got sources to get cheaper but in SLT, its the cheapest liao... got another shop wanted to sell me $2 per lug... knn!! i showed the charbo the same lug and receipt from kaichin then she diam diam... the next problem faced was the biggest crimper i could find in SLT was too small for the lugs that size.. had to find industrial sized crimper.. heng got 1 shop, the guy very helpful... lent me his crimper to do in the corner of his shop... very nice guy... if u want, get ur cables from there... whole shop full of wires and heatshrink sleeves of all sizes... even got tin braided wires for grounding use...very nice... as for me, i didnt really bother abt laying the cables neatly in the engine bay... i dun see the need for that.. and anyway, to lay neatly, u will most prob have to buy extra lengths of cable which defeats the purpose... i juz use watever is necessary..

Jetcool 1st Gear February 24, 2004 Share February 24, 2004 There's a shop at Ginza Plaza that does 6 point grounding for $45. Don't know the shop's name but here's the tel no: 67788793 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromas 1st Gear February 24, 2004 Author Share February 24, 2004 Hi Maz75, I'd be glad to assist you in your grounding project. I will guide you through it. Most grounding kits cost anywhere from $25 to $40 for a 5 point grounding set. These sets come lugged already, so you don't have to worry about having to crimp the cables or anything. I use the SJ-737 set. Pretty simple with the following stuff in the package. 1) 2x Long length wires 2) 2x Medium length wires 3) 1x Short length wire 4) Nuts and Bolts 5) Connector plate I don't mind guiding you through the whole process. If you happen to get hold of such a grounding kit, let me know and I'll help you do it over a lunch hour Give me buzz at 91861664 anytime. If you wanna do it over lunch tomorrow, give me call. I might also be free on Thur afternoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinky Neutral Newbie March 1, 2004 Share March 1, 2004 Hi Chomas This is the 1st time I post a msg since I joined the forum. I am really interested to fix up the groudings for my ride. Went to a few auto shops and found out that the kit are mostly over $100. Couldn't locate where the SJ-737 set that you mentioned. Do you mind telling me where can I get hold of this? I would also need help in fixing up the wires. Wonder if you could give me a hand. I am really a nut in this area..... Not a mechanical person after all.

Beyond_26 Neutral Newbie March 7, 2004 Share March 7, 2004 hi, what is grounding? and is it for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromas 1st Gear March 7, 2004 Author Share March 7, 2004 Hi there, grounding is for connecting various parts of the your car to the negative terminal of the battery to allow for ease of current flow return back to the battery. Most cars do not actually require it as they are quite well grounded. However if u really want to do so, there's always the main areas such as the Alternator, Engine Block, Throttle Body, and a few other areas. I've helped a few bros do up their groundings for free so that they can have a feel of my workmanship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
