Their grounding kit vs. ours

I was in this other forum that is on the wolrd wide web and they were talking about grounding kits.
I looked online and these kits start at like $50. Then i went on another web wide web page and it had instructions to make your own. They say they are just as good as the manufactured ones.
it distributes a better flow of electricity, but does it give HP and fuel economy?
The DIY ground kits costs only $15 with parts from radio shack.
I totally need one cus my 240sx gt-r stalls everytime i turn on the blinker to turn right. sometimes if i do a left turn to.

240sx gt-r.

Right.

Grounding wires won't fix your problem. Neither will that fake GT-R emblem you have somewhere on your ride.

You have a short somewhere - find someone who's knowledgable about automotive electrical troubleshooting. If you take it to a shop, expect to pay $$$ for them to figure out what's wrong with your "GT-R".

i've explained in the other threads. the paint job is so rare/expensive that i cannot use a flash camera on it. neither can i expose it to any light or else the paint job is ruined.
how do i drive it around? I went to walmart and bought 7 beach umbrellas. On all the key parts of the chassis, i welded the beach umbrellas on them so that it can drive around without being exposed to too much light.
how did i make it? I cut one half of a 240sx and welded it onto another half of a skyline gt-r
jf you want to see it, come here to our high performance shop called Jiffy Lube in san diego.

btw, here were the directions for creating your own grounding kit. It related to Scion xa, but it was the most in depth instructions as well as pictures. Just use a measuring tape to fit your car.

I'm not in San Diego, but did you try Home Depot or places like that, I know the ones here have a pretty good electrical section and have a bunch of wires and connectors
