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?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
