HKS Circle Earth System


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

Just wanting to know abit more info about the HKS Circle Earth System or even something similar. i know in general what it is meant to do but i cant seem to find any for r33's mostly r32's and r34's since the battery is in the front. I have seen one of two kits for sale for r33's but this was for 1995 and above. Just wondering if anyone has one in thier r33 or know where to see some information on how to install one for a r33. Cheers Rob

ive done a simple diy earthing sys that i found on a jap webpage. simply u earth the components that require better grounding for optimum performance like manifold, turbo, alternator, exhaust, stuff like that. i found that there was a difference in performance, the car ran alot smoother and overall response was better and at a fraction of the price of one of those kits. the kits probably work alot better but this is my cheap mans alternative:D:D by the way the link to that site is dead so i cant post it up anymore.

Just curious as to exactly what a circular earth kit does? How does it benefit the engine/performance etc?

The reason I ask: they seem to be a very popular mod over here to do. Also interested cause it seems like a mod that might benefit N/A as much as a turbo'd motor...

To all,

From what i've seen tested here in adelaide, the kit appears to be another japanese gimmick that one buys and every one else follows.When tested here and written up in zoom there was no increase in performance.If the factory deemed that they needed more earthing spots under the bonnet they would have installed them,god only knows there is enough now.Anyway my idea of a clean engine bay is to tidy it up and hide/get rid of surplus wiring!

But hey every one to their own opinion!!!

The only advantage I've heard of is where an engine has been in and out of the engine bay a few times and the factory earth straps are getting a bit torn up, but then all you really need to do is repace the appropriate straps and your done.

Sorry guys, cant help you. Im a S14 boy =P

If you have a workshop manual, it'll show you some. Otherwise look for points where the engine is wired to the wirewall and stuff. Also other points where u see grounding wires to the plenum. Also give the negative terminal of ur battery a good scrub as well as the fat negative lead that leads to the chassis.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
