[HKS Speed Limit Defencer]

Greetz.

I just took delivery of an HKS Speed Limit Defencer but it's in Japanese!

Is there anyone out there who has the book in English and can tell me where the wires go?

I can post a scan of the wiring diagram picture if someone is able to translate it.

the particular unit uses the N1 configuration for an HCR32.

Any help will be immensely appreciated.

Thanx guyz.

[WANTED: HCR32 pedal box]

Okey dokey. I am converting from an auto to an R33 Nismo 5 speed CR gearbox. All I've been told is to get hold of a pedal box. I'm assuming that it's the whole assembly for the addition of the clutch pedal and the master cylinder on the other side of the firewall.

Bart, if you're out there...... I cain't getchya! Yer mobie's off and your employer(?) says your off on hollies. When's the best time to get hold of ya?

Thanx guys.

[DPI rules and regs questions.......]

I got canaried for my GT wing a coupla months ago. The dude told me because it had sharp edges it was considered a pedestrian killer.

The other thing was the wing stuck out beyond the confines of the main bodywork by 10 cm each side! It was a beauty!

When I asked what I had to do to make it conform to the regs I was informed that I had to cut the wing's width down to make it fit inside the pillar/roof structure, and all edges on the wing including the uprights had to be rounded and thick. In other words after finishing the required mods, the wing would look like shit.

I went and bought an R32 VS spoiler to replace the GT wing and I was told that it was still too wide (outside by 5cm each side). I went and replaced it with the same spoiler off a DC-5 Integra, and was outside in width by 1cm, but it would be considered passed.

Then came the kicker.

Vehicles manufactured after 1989 must be fitted with an eye-level brake light. Shit man! Is there any limit to the bullshit?

After all of this I was told that if the spoiler met these requirements, a permit was not required.

Hope this helps a bit.

[WANTED: HCR32 pedal box]

How do I get in touch with Bart GB?

[WANTED: HCR32 pedal box]

Greets!

Does anyone have, or does anyone know of anyone who has an HCR32 pedal box for sale?

I'd prefer to source one locally for ease of obtainment, rather than attempt to have one shipped, and our wreckers seem to have a shortage!

Thanx.

[HICAS positioning sensor]

Thanks man, I'll give it a go.

Finally a reply to a post, I thought I was invisible!

[HICAS positioning sensor]

Greets,

I have had a custom boss kit made but a part has popped off its glued mount. This piece is used to move the sensor around as the steering is turned.

If you can, could you please provide the position of the sensor finger (the bit that's poking out) in its o'clock position.

EG: If you took the wheel off, the finger may be in a 2 o'clock position etc...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[R33 Nismo CR 5-speed into an R32]

Is there anyone out there who has put an R33 gearbox into an R32?

I presently have an HCR32 with an auto (gag!) box and I have located a Nismo 5-speed close-ratio gearbox out of an M-Spec R33, and she's on her way.

What am I looking at? What dramas should I foresee or prepare myself for?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[My HICAS light turns on when long driving.]

There's another reason...

The HICAS positioning sensor behind the steering wheel requires constant input to inform the computer of the steering wheel position. When you turn the steering wheel, the sensor moves with the steering wheel and informs the computer of the front wheel's are turning. The computer then turns the rear wheels according to the angle of the front wheels, and the speed of the vehicle at the time of the turn.

The main problem with freeways is that they don't contain sharp turns, but the sensor requires a substantial amount of input and you don't get that amount of turn input on freeways. This means:

The computer detects foreward motion (speedo).

There is no input due to the small steering movements on freeways.

The computer thinks something's amiss and locks out the rear steering only.

the lockouts are a pain in the butt, but nothing to really worry about. After all, who out there has also intalled a HICAS lockout kit??

[What is Differn't with the N1 engines ?]

This month's HPI magazine has a genuine N1 R33 feature. There is a fair bit of info on the N1 block, so it would be worth the read to quench the curiosity.

[malpassi fuel reg good or not?]

Okay, let's up the ante... Why put one on at all?

Reading through the previous threads, the debate is still inconclusive as to whether the stock unit is just as good. It sounds like it is capable up to a point, but where is that point?

I have been given a fuel reg (I was told it's a Malpassi but it has no markings) and I really don't want to put it on because of all the problems being experienced by others. The car is my daily driver and reliablity for me is a bigger issue than having a fuel reg that may not be any better than the stock item.

Why fix it if it ain't broke?

Can we put this one to bed?
