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?

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
