Hey this may sound like a dumb question and NO I haven't tried it yet but....

Installed a HKS evc the other week and need to calibrate it.

Don't have anywhere I can boot the car to do this, and don't wanna do it on the street ....so was wonderring if it is safe for me to jack the car up, put it on stands and drive it. (Like an excersise bike:) )

Or do I risk the car jumping off the stands or something worse?

It actually sounds quite stupid to me but was wonderring if its possible?

Thanks!

its not safe and even if you did it, its not accurate. the road will give different load rating and affect how the solenoid will turn on and off. just do the self learn in a quiet street or private road somewhere.

youll need about 100meters odd to do it, so it should be fairly easy. sit in 3rd gear. take off in 3rd (youll have to ride the clutch) then full throttle till it beeps and changes to -2-

then do a u-turn, repeat until you get to -1- and then finally it will change to normal operation mode

No it won't work you need the load.

Dyno would be the safest way

yeah just put the nose up against the garage wall and go hard with the gas pedal. let the car change gears as it needs to. you should prolly have your sister stand to the side of the car with a big palm leaf to blow cool air into the radiator... better to be safe than sorry right?

      Engine sputter

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
