Hi guys,

Do grounding kits really help? I have one given to me as a gift and was thinkin of fitting it to my NA R34. Will this be good for the car? Has anyone tried installing these and had good results?

and how hard is it to fit? coz all i have is a bunch of wires and I dont have a clue where they go LOL

Need help please

Cheers!

I'm running a grounding kit and a voltage stabilizer on my R33 GTS25, there was't really a noticable difference, all I noticed was the car was a bit easier to start. But when I installed a grounding kit on our old R32 GTS-T there was a noticable difference, the head lights were much brighter, the car acclereated smoother and better, even the stereo sounded better. It seems that the grounding kit works on some cars but not on others

yeah

similar sort of thing - little box that you attach to ur battery that keeps a constant voltage from the battery

with the alternator spinning around, voltage fluctuates up and down - the stabiliser attempts to keep it flat

the results id seen were from a combination of grounding wire and stabiliser

Raizen do a stabilizer kit that apparently is pretty good when coupled with a grounder kit

Yup the Raizin by Pivot is a pretty decent grounding kit. but beware of fakes, lots of them floating around online

Also u can try the Hot Inazma system, heard its pretty good too

You only tend to find a difference with these grounding kits on older cars, since wires break down over time and slowly reduce the amount of current they can flow. On a newer car like a r34 i wouldnt expect to see any difference what so ever

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
