HKS Circle Earth System


Recommended Posts

Just wanting to know abit more info about the HKS Circle Earth System or even something similar. i know in general what it is meant to do but i cant seem to find any for r33's mostly r32's and r34's since the battery is in the front. I have seen one of two kits for sale for r33's but this was for 1995 and above. Just wondering if anyone has one in thier r33 or know where to see some information on how to install one for a r33. Cheers Rob

ive done a simple diy earthing sys that i found on a jap webpage. simply u earth the components that require better grounding for optimum performance like manifold, turbo, alternator, exhaust, stuff like that. i found that there was a difference in performance, the car ran alot smoother and overall response was better and at a fraction of the price of one of those kits. the kits probably work alot better but this is my cheap mans alternative:D:D by the way the link to that site is dead so i cant post it up anymore.

Just curious as to exactly what a circular earth kit does? How does it benefit the engine/performance etc?

The reason I ask: they seem to be a very popular mod over here to do. Also interested cause it seems like a mod that might benefit N/A as much as a turbo'd motor...

To all,

From what i've seen tested here in adelaide, the kit appears to be another japanese gimmick that one buys and every one else follows.When tested here and written up in zoom there was no increase in performance.If the factory deemed that they needed more earthing spots under the bonnet they would have installed them,god only knows there is enough now.Anyway my idea of a clean engine bay is to tidy it up and hide/get rid of surplus wiring!

But hey every one to their own opinion!!!

The only advantage I've heard of is where an engine has been in and out of the engine bay a few times and the factory earth straps are getting a bit torn up, but then all you really need to do is repace the appropriate straps and your done.

Sorry guys, cant help you. Im a S14 boy =P

If you have a workshop manual, it'll show you some. Otherwise look for points where the engine is wired to the wirewall and stuff. Also other points where u see grounding wires to the plenum. Also give the negative terminal of ur battery a good scrub as well as the fat negative lead that leads to the chassis.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
