Builds: 350Z Elaborate Grounding kit | AnthonyJ350

- This is probably one of the more elaborate custom grounding kits you would ever see on a vehicle. Not only do I ground everything under the hood, but I attach a ground wire to the battery and bring it into the cab and ground the whole perimeter.
Car starts with the same effort, but I noticed a little smoother idle and the stock sound system sounds much clearer at high volumes.
I would definitely recommend getting this done at your local install shop to help give a better foundation for the 12 volt charging system.

Love these 350z videos man! I just got mine & you're helping me out so much.
+NewportRegular That's great to here! We're going to be doing a front lip on one this weekend and a Torque Solution transmission mount soon after. I also had stainless steel braided brake and clutch line done and will be doing a review on them, so stay tuned!
+NewportRegular Check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/Yw4BBNECZp8/v-deo.html
Nissan Japan ONLY gave an optional oem earthing ground system. This is why it explains the unused bolt holes surrounding the VQ bay area. The oem ground wires are almost impossible to find but they are shown on the fairladyz japanese dealer brochure
Do you have a link to this? I'm so interested about what Nissan offered!
Just got this upgrade done to my car...dual 12" JL w3 woofers...600 watt slash amp...all installed by Anthony at visions electronics in surrey. I didn't get the big 3...or grounding upgrade then. Wow what a difference this made...My lights no longer dim or flash on the large bass lines...I also DEFINITIVELY heard a difference in sound. Id say easy 10%-15% harder bass hits. I didn't know how much of a difference the big 3 does...anyone doing any kind of sound system of good quality...get lots of dynamat...and upgrade your grounding...the big 3 is the best upgrade ive done to my system hands down. Go see Anthony at Visions in surrey.
I like how you're trying to make all these electrical upgrades look like they're from the factory by matching the tapes etc.
Ya we're big on doing that. I believe is should be something that blends with the engineering of the vehicle.
Nobody ever said that Canada does a half ass job. At least I never heard anybody say it. The only thing I hear is that they do everything just aboat right.
@@sloppydoggy9257 Glad I can help the reputation lol. I heard in the construction field we have a way higher standard than the States for regulation. But when it comes to automotive there are a lot of high end people working on cars there, but they have 10 times more the population.
Not sure about construction standards. I think construction standards differ widely from city to city and state to state. There's a strong car culture in the US for sure. heh
My buddy that's an electrician was telling me from their end of the industry. But there are good and bad trades people everywhere. I'm never going to say all Canadian installers are good, because we have our share of ones that do sub par work. I just hope platforms like UA-cam will help show people doing good work to help inspire others to try harder.
on moder vehicles all engine sensors crank sensor, camshaft sensor, tps, and many more, are not grounded to any part of the engine, there either supply with 5volt reference or 12+ and ground signal from pcm. the only part of the engine that need a good ground is the cylinder heads were the sparkplugs are bolted on. negative battery post to engine block , engine block to vehicle frame, and cylinder heads to firewall...and maybe alternator case to battery negative post, those are pretty much good grounding points and all you need, its all in the gauge of the wires. if the battery positive wire to the alternator is a 4 gauge then the ground wires should be too.
+roberto ortiz Sensors aside, wouldn't you say upgrading existing grounds on the motor is beneficial at least as preventative maintenance? This motor had a few ground wires already bolted to it, I just added thicker ones and put them together in such a way they would have a harder time oxidizing (which creates resistance in a line).
+AnthonyJ350 yeah its a good P.M some cars act funny and all because of old ground straps . AnthonyJ350 great UA-cam channel
roberto ortiz Thanks! And I appreciate your insight on the subject matter.
I know this is waaaaayyyyy late but, the threaded holes at the right fender well is for if a hood switch is installed.
Ahhh I see, thanks for letting us know!
I have a question, what is a ground loop and is it bad for picking up noises in a car audio system? thanks ahead of time brother. Love the video its sick,excellent work.
+mark demelo Having a ground loop in your system creates that "engine noise/ whine" sound. "Thus, a system grounded at two different points, with a potential difference between the two grounds can cause unwanted noise voltage in the circuit paths."
Here's a site that has a great write up on ground loops: www.audioholics.com/home-theater-connection/ground-loops-eliminating-system-hum-and-buzz
So by doing all these multiple grounding points around the vehicle create ground loops (noise) in the audio system or did this actually help? You mentioned in the video of adding an amp at some point...how does it sound noise wise? (any hum etc?)
Is there a "best" year when buying a 350Z? It will be a second car for spirited driving and some light track/autocross duty.
+Eric Timmer 2007+ are the best years overall for the 350Z (HR motor). Lots of refinement done. You get twin intake filters, equal length headers and some other stuff. 2006 I think is the best bang for your buck year (some have an oil consumption problem though). 2006 you get a more powerful engine (Rev UP motor which responds great to mods, better transmission (CD009 is the transmission you want 2005.5+ would have it. 2006 also has the same front end as 2007+ minus the hood bulge.
Hey i was wondering what size bolts were used to bolt into the passenger side fender? Im having trouble with my tps sensor not getting correct voltage and want to start with inexpensive fixes before i look into replacing the harness/ecu
Just a 10mm machine thread.
what is the point for all those groundings please?
So hopefully there is no resistance through out the cab because it's all connected back to the battery.
should the chassis be the best ground connection?
+Jin Z (悪魔のZ) The negative terminal of the battery is the best ground location.
Could you post the lengths of wire you used for everything. Thanks
You just run and lay the wire to where you want it and cut it. I never know the exact length, I lay it out however it fits best.
@@AnthonyJ350 Makes sense, I wanted to copy a stillen kit but then I saw yours. You really go all out with your mods I love it
@@GO-mk5zz Thank you! I try to improve and refine the things I put into my vehicles, and always trying to learn new things.
Stay tuned because I'm developing my new home shop so we can do stuff cooler and faster!
whats the difference between a 350z and 350zed ive only heard of a 350z
"Zed" is how Canadians and a bunch of other countries pronounce the letter "Z".
LMAO
@@AnthonyJ350 false Canadians don’t
@@rngf_ashyxd860 It's literally what we're taught in school. How is it false?
wonder if you can help me. I got the stillen grounding kit and the car dies after sitting for around 4-6 days is it because of a bad ground?
If you installed the Stillen grounding kit, it's probably not because of that. How old is the battery? I run a NorthStar in mine.
AnthonyJ350 went through 2 batteries
Should do a current draw test. Is there an aftermarket amplifier staying on? Or any other after market electronics?
AnthonyJ350 nope just grounding kit
Hmmm the grounding kit wouldn't cause that. I would check the voltage of the battery and while it's running, give you a better indication if the alternator is working properly. ua-cam.com/video/2_sFE_M16ps/v-deo.html
where did you get those red hardware for the headlights
You can search for them on eBay, here's the video on them ua-cam.com/video/lKrfkgSJ79A/v-deo.html
i like your vids but this one is kinda poor. why no cables' lenght? its not a tutorial or dyi gz
tttttt You're absolutely right it's not a instructional video. That's why it's in the "Builds" playlist and doesn't say "How To" in the title. If you have difficulty with the lengths I'd recommend having a professional shop do it.
@@AnthonyJ350 Run cable. Cut cable when it gets where you want it. There's your length. People want to be spoon fed lol
@@jgm113 I know 🤷♂️
Not sure if your still in this page, my car tends to drop voltage and I can’t find out why. Took to dealer and they recommended a oem alternator which I did and still when I turn ac on or light the vintage starts to drop and if the cars just idling it’s slowing dropping voltage at this point I’m not sure how to fix it. Anybody have any suggestions? Been a year since I drop my z 🥺
How old is the battery?
@@AnthonyJ350 oh wow hey man thanks for replying! Battery is new, alternator is new oem as well as starter. Car franks fine and can run but eventually it doesn’t charge right and I do drop voltage which is a Pain
@@AnthonyJ350 Oh and battery is from Walmart not oem but new
@@visualjermm7879 What does the voltage drop down to? Are you measuring it with a multimeter?
@@AnthonyJ350 it will go from the normal 14.5 to 11.6-12.1 sometimes lower depending on the what’s I have on like the lights radio etc. yeah I’ve used the multimeter and that’s the number I’ve pretty much got
Would you make and sell a ground kit
Abdullah Alharbi I do it locally because I need the car in the shop to spec it out.
AnthonyJ350 unfortunately I'm from kuwait but I got a US shipping account
AnthonyJ350 where are you located
Question so doing this will it stop the positive battery connection fuse from blowing?
If you have an amperage delivery bottleneck, it will help. If you have a short, no.
