Earthing kit on the Nsx

[jaffaz32]

Just wondering if anyone has installed or made a earth kit for the Nsx?

You get them for most cars but the battery being up front and fuse boxes and engine towards the back of the car may be a problem if you run cables back to the negative on the battery.

Are there any real benefits doing this on the Nsx?

Like to hear from people who have done this or thought about this and where they would earth etc.

I have a Brand New Pivot Earth kit at home, universal. It has a voltage stabilizer, may need to replace all cables with longer ones mind.

I don't think it would do a thing. I can see grounding stuff out to the body but if you got good grounds through the body to each other then i don't see what benefit you would gain from this stuff. The body is basically the cable and does the same exact thing. IMO this grounding stuff is hyped up nonsense marketing trying to get you to spend money.

There are some cars that over time experience problems due to insufficient grounding.
Our 944 was one of those, as after 20 years the cabling corroded and caused various odd things to happen (faulty gauge operation, and dim headlights among them).
If it was a problem with the NSX it would have been documented here already, so I say don't worry about it.

I have a bad earth some where, well i think i found it.

Everything was completely dead. Originally assumed it was the battery so stole the battery off my bmw, hooked it up and nothing. Checked all fuses - ok. Checked all fuse boxes to see if they had power which they did so what else could it have been? a earth?

So i removed the main battery earth cleaned it up, put it back on and i had power.

Just thought it may be a good idea to upgrade now i've had a problem with a earth. I remembered i ordered a Pivot Voltage stabilizer and battery monitor, might hook this up in the front. It's a free install as i bought it couple years ago and forgot about it. whoops...

A few people have installed ground kits but no specific info. Given me a good start though.

I think bhp claims are very optimistic, this isn't the aim. They are meant to help with battery life/drain also, and i don't drive my car during the week if it improves it just a little that would be great.
