Resistor pack doesnt need power from the battery, it drops the voltage from the ECU sees, so its just a matter of wiring the resistors between the injector and the ECU...see wiring diagram for R32 GTS/GTR.

I spliced into the wires just before each injector

The injectors need power from some where if you did it on a gtst the wires already have a power supply and the ecu earths the injectors but on a gtr the resistor pack supplys the power to the injectors and the pack requires power. At the moment I'm just taking it from the battery. Guess I'll keep my g/box for the moment but what clutchs are you guys using?

I take it you are reading off a wiring diagram. You are right. All the ECU does is open/close circuits that allow voltage to flow thru the injectors pulsing them open/closed.

If you look at the GTR resistor pack you will see that it has 7 wires. All you do is wire it in line with the existing line that branches off and feeds all 6 injectors. So the GTR resistor pack had 6 x blue wires , and one white (may have been white/black) So the white black wire of the resistor pack gets connected to the wire that supply voltage to all the injectors.

Then for each injector, you run one of the blue resistor pack wires to them in place where the original wire was.

Even if you made your own resistor pack, the principle is the same. A resistor doesnt need a voltage supply. V=IR (V=voltage, I= current, R= resistance) So by passing a voltage thru the resistor pack you are simply changing the voltage seen by the ECU.

If you connect the resistor directly to your battery that wont do anything, you need to wire it in line between the ECU->injector-> earth (i believe from memory it is earthed thru the ECU earth... if you wire it to the battery, what is switching the injector open/closed. The voltage needs to come from the ECU as it does the switching....but i think you know this already.

Where abouts are you in Melb? Im in Melb at the moment with work...

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
