Hi all..

Went to justjap and bought some random things one of them being the volt stabilizer...

Just wondering how and where do people install this?

Running a long earth wire from the battery to the distributor? or?

Any pictures and/or advice would be greatfull.

Cheers

'err isn't the thing to be installed next to the batt on the boot of a skyline?

I ran 4gauge power cable from my neg terminal in the boot to the bonnet then wired up all earths from there. The stabiliser box is mounted next to my batt in the boot. will get some pics when i get a chance:)

thanks, man. it would clear lotsa things up..

to run the 4 gaugecable to the engine bonnet, u would have to take off ur rear seats and run the wire all the way to the front,yea?

I had to remove rear seats to run 4 gauge cable. I ran it under the floor carpet on the drivers side with the stock wiring as there are guides in place. The 4G cable is thick and difficult to thread under the carpet without removing bolts for the drivers seat and seat belt anchor.

I then ran it uder the drivers kick panel and through the fire wall just above the throttle pedal which leads to the drivers side wheel arch under the guard. There are guides there that run behind the drivers side headlight in to the engine bay.

Took a total of 6m of cable to run it through properly.

From the 4G cable in the engine bay I mounted all the earthing points.

Afterwards I did notice better sound quality of my audio and brighter interior lights i think... :laugh:

If anyone could come up with a TUTORIAL on how to do this (with pics too) , it would be good :O

thanks'

isnt there like 4 or 6 wires off the stabiliser? each of these to hook up to individual parts of the engine bay,

CAS, starter, earth strap to block, throttle body etc ??

i would run 1 wire from boot to engine bay, hook stabiliser to the wire in the engine bay then each bit to the spot on the engine...

but thats just me

hmmmm... how do you run the wire from the boot to the engine bay?

i know how to bring it from the boot to the front seat(by taking the rear bak seat off but after that i'm as long as the guy is too.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
