Rev210, no I dont have 33 timing maps.

To reset the ecu, I just used to disconnect the battery and wait for the interior light to fade compeletly. Then reconnect and take your car for a thrash :P NB, its always good to warm your car up before doing a reset, so when you do go for a spin, you arent thrashing a cold engine.

and for those intereseted, I just bought 20L drum or tolulene from Westfuels, 543? Abernathy rd kewdale for $66, works out at $3.30 per litre.

Just wondering steve.. roughly how long would it take? Impul, i heard the footbrake method dosn't really work. But i guess it'll make sense as it's draining out the battery by supplying voltage to the rear brakelights.

you obviously dont understand electronics then, most circutry contains capacitors. Capcacitors store power the same way a batery does. a few seconds without a battery conected wont rest much except yor radios memory and clock.

by putting ya foot on the brake it creats a circut and drains all available power.

I use this method and it works every time

Hrmm? Capacitors? To keep the hold enough current to keep the clocks and all running for about an hr? Woouldn't that take a lot? To drain a capacitor, u need to short it to ground or something right? So pressing the brake pedal connects it straight to ground? Capacitors usually are used to regulate power, it does store a charge... uh... i dunno, all those years of studying electronics in school and i still don't know shit about them. Hahaha. I'm just a dumbass. :P

LOL, and by having an interior (or the boot light on for R33) it does the same thing, when the light dies, the power is gone.

I used this method and it has worked every time.

You may enjoy playing with your brake pedal, but there are easier ways that are just as effective.

thanks for that handy bit of information

i have been hunting around for a couple of days for the stuff

is good to know it is just up the road from me

What steve said ^^

I understand a little of electronics mate - If you break the circuit to the battery ie - taking the earth away then how will pressing the brake pedal do anything? If the circuit isn't complete how can a current be drawn? The capacitors wouldn't take long to stop holding charge considering it isn't really that high a voltage that runs in the car yeh?

      I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
