Hahahah yep, good thing with the microtech is that its quite simple, no VCT wiring, No AAC valve, etc etc, so its just injectors, ignition, fuel pumps and the CAS, although I have heard that the altenator needs to be hooked up to the dash light otherwise it wont charge....that sounds like an old wives tale to me though, guess I will find out

Brake lights are easy, headlights will just be a switch on the dash same with wipers

Charcoal cannister is long gone lol, just gotta remove the lines now. I thought about no booster, but my knees are fubar, and i sometimes struggle on track with the booster, so non assisted brakes are a no no.

I'll find out for you in regards to the alternator... I'm being lent some top secret information that should have that in it... :P

I havent heard of anyone having much success without the booster. A few people that weve raced with have done it and then reverted back.

You will save a fair whack of weight too. There is so much useless wiring....

The only people I've heard of that have reverted, haven't changed the brake pedal ratio.

A light is required as it is used as such to turn the alternator on.

A small dash globe in a pilot light is what I use as its enough to do the job. An LED can also be used but it must be used in conjunction with a resistor otherwise it wont charge initialy when you start it. I have used LED's by them selves but its not perfect.

the wiring is easy for the alt itself. the 2 pin plug that goes into the back is has a diagram on the alternator that should show S / L the S needs to have a battery feed and the L needs to run to one side of a pilot light and the other side of the pilot light needs to be switched on by the ignition. key on light comes on. start engine light goes out.

also you will be grate full for having the light down the track when the alt shits itself you will know straight up.

That is possible, though some went to an aftermarket pedal box, which no doubt was different to standard (but possibly not correct, or maybe was, never got into that detail about it) and said the braking/pedal feel wasnt as good as standard. No suprises there. However, I cant see it being as good as the standard assisted setup. Seems like more a space saving/minor weight saving thing to do, rather then something that will actually kelp you go faster around the track....

But each to their own :( Lol though maybe qld'ers cant work it out as well as you nsw'ers.

Exactly. Change the pedal ratio and size the master cylinder properly for a setup without assistance and it works okay.

You will bend tr firewall and pedal bracket if not reinforced well.

Hence why most atleast buy an overhung pedal box with a 6.25 pedal ratio.

It's not as simple as relocating the pivot pin to change the ratio either. The pushrods needs to remain square to the rear of the master cylinder so there is some stuffing around with cylinder mounting.

Well worth the effort of going non assisted.

Who ever was doing that pedal box had no idea how to set it up properly. A well done system will give you a far superior pedal feel and feedback, it's more consistant particularly when you start left foot braking, you gain proper bias control and the pedal can be styled to suit anyones driving habbits with the right masters.

It took us a while to get our heads around master sizing and so forth but done right they are worth it.

I use tilton products as I have an awesome supplier for them. In a skyline we use a steel twin pedal hung box. by the time you factor in the two pedals, the mounting you need to do ( really needs to hang from a dash bar on a cage) the three master cylinders ( 2 brake 1 clutch) 3 resiviours and hoses etc there is very little if any weight saving.

Using a 3 pedal tilton floor mount in my r34 which is possibly as heavy as factory system if not more.

Good to hear you guys figured it all out. We never bothered looking into it after we hadnt seen anyone else with much success doing it. Plus never had any issues with the factory setup and alcon brakes. It took me quite a while to left brake and get used to the sensativity....But like anything you adapt and get a feel for it.

But I can see how the setup could easily be tailored to suit.

Awesome :(

That is exactly what i needed to know :D

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
