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.

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
