charlie22 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I did this mod a while ago but couldn't really feel the difference, Don't think i had a very good earth tho. Might do it again tomorrow and see how it goes. TBH i think you would notice more difference between cold and hot ambient air temps.

Ehgriez Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sorry just a quick note on the petrol. I know its OT but the mods can just split the topic if one notices? The taxing of commodities like petrol in an economy like ours with the limited resources available and the environmental impacts that burning it has should always be quite high. This discourages consumption and forces people to look towards alternate means which a) preserves the life of the rare resource and b) reduces the environmental effects of the petrol. Granted with a commodity so widely used and depended upon steep jumps in price are never a good thing as it causes push inflation and reduces discretionary spending which slows growth. Considering the current financial crisis and the slowdown in growth worldwide the reduction in the price of petrol is really quite well timed to stimulate a bit of action in the economy. On a final note, electric cars. The amount of emmissions and greenhouse gases released in the production of the batteries for those things means that you have to drive the car for something like 5 years ( cant remember the exact figure) before the savings in petrol actually make up for the huge production emissions. However noone seems to want to hear that. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/247252-r34-2-stage-boost/page/4/#findComment-4302768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However noone seems to want to hear that. There are no environment effects in producing petrol then? 5 years is not very long at all. And once electric powered vehicles actually get into mass production like petrol powered vehicles, the cost will reduce, we will get better at making them, and that 5 year 'gap' may all but dissipate.

charlie22 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 But after that 5 years electric cars would have little to no impact on the environment, Depending on how the energy is captured to charge the batteries of course. Any way back on topic. I just did the mod this morning and took my car for a quick spin, 1st an 2nd gears are completely different now. Didn't really want to flog it tho because it's so hot today, Should give a fair increase in power when the ambient air is colder.

hoony Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 But ur selling it...? who cares if i'm selling it... you're selling your car too right? not because you don't like it, but because you want something better? well that's why i'm selling, it's a nice car, i can just get something better seeing as though i've had the car for around a year now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/247252-r34-2-stage-boost/page/4/#findComment-4304562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NA_Goodness Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm selling mine because its non-turbo and it'll cost to much to convert. Andrew, your car is one of the best looking GTTs in Perth. Work on the engine and interior to make it the full package. You know I think your an idiot for wanting to sell it, but I'll just remind you in case you've forgotten!

Rucker34 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) It's pretty easy. Essentially, theres a sensor which has a white and a black wire going into it. Cut the black wire and ground it to a nut (closest and easiest one is the Strut bar bolt).Once thats done, start the car and give it a boot! how do you go about this, the wire will not reach from what i can tell. do you just join a piece to it for the extra length? how easy is it to get that bolt off and back on on the strut bar?

NA_Goodness Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 From what I was told, the R34 wires wont reach, but there is no reason why you cant just cut and solder a longer piece of wire to it. That strut bar bolt (if its the same as the R33 one, which I cant see why it isnt) is just a normal 14mm bolt. Get a ratchet, 14mm socket, give it a wack with your hand to get it started, take it off, ground the wire, tighten the bolt up again, and its all done!!

NA_Goodness Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Why do you need to get underneith? Just take the nut off up top. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/247252-r34-2-stage-boost/page/4/#findComment-4306587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rucker34 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Why do you need to get underneith? Just take the nut off up top. i thought i would have to take the bolt out. i wanted to earth the wire underneath the strut bar because i think it will look shit and stand out if the wire is attached to the top of it?

NA_Goodness Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Nah, those bolts are attached to the strut. The wont actually come out unless you take the entire strut out, and trust me... That isnt too much fun!! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/247252-r34-2-stage-boost/page/4/#findComment-4306870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISZILA Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just attach another piece of wite to it. Make sure its a good connection with either solder as Rhys said, or with a crimp kit. Crimp the two ends together. I did this to Andrew's (Hoony) car not long ago and it worked well. To give you an idea how easy it is, we did it in about 10-15 minutes in the parking lot of Morley Fast Eddy's at 2:30am on a Thursday night haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/247252-r34-2-stage-boost/page/4/#findComment-4306953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rucker34 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks guys. yeah will be easy as then. i was not going to do this at first, was not sure if i would really feel any difference but if you guys say it works well then why not, seeing as its free and easy.

RICCA Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 NISZILA - DID you connect it to the Struct bar of the 34 or To the side piece below ? near the wire on the right their is a blot aswell you could connect their ! ?

NISZILA Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 RICCA - yea, I didn't connect it to the strut brace, I connected it to a bolt holding another bracket to the body. Sounds like the one you're describing. Remember, the whole shell is earth, so you can connect it where ever suits you, as long as its against the body of the car.
