hey does anyone know where i can get resistor packs made up so i can run low impendence injectors for my rb20??

it sounds like you are in the same boat as me

some old cars have them eg honda CRX

or you can wire a 8.5 ohms in series per injector, this should increase the resistance to around 11ohms and prevent :flamed: the ecu

I've yet to try to any of these methods as my friend is sending me a box :P so I don't know which brand of resistor to use.....may be other guru will help.

i looked at the resistors Jaycar had - not designed for use in a hot engine bay mate... decided to go with the GTR resistor pack. BEL Garage sourced it and wired it up to the low-impedence injectors. can't remember how much, but i got a 2nd hand one. lucky it works.. personally if i'd known it's only $150, I would've bought new.

I had some made and all it was was six ballast resistors. I'll get the resistances for you tommorow cause I just finished working on my car tonight and can't be bothered going back outside.

could you also let us know the brand of the resistor?

it looks like my parcel will FTA :) have to dig out my year 12 electronics books now :wassup:

I think the resistors are 7ohm 10 watt wire wound ceramic resistors (I know the resisance is 7ohms I don't know if they are 10 or 17 watt resistors) from jaycar about $1.50 each and you need 6 of them. I'll find out tomorrow as the $100 pack I got from direct imports a few resistors died yesterday, I believe mainly due to poor construction as they were glued together and the ends covered with some sort of silicon and water may have got into the resistors ( I don't really know why they failed, all I know is they were wired up properly and it was running fine and now it isn't). A little metal box only costs a couple bucks and might be worth a go but the resistors may ge to hot.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
