attach one wire to a bolt stuck in the dirt, the other to a bolt on the car, all grounded....lol

joking

is it the D1 kit off eblow ? depends on what kit you have and available wires. ? some have a lot, some have 2 ?

sounds like its missing some wires. the one I'm thinking of is this one, one wire per spark coil pack, and one new ground in addition to that.along with ground circle battery clamp. , its overkill on most cars unless youe pushing a butt load of boost, and fear misfires under extreme load. if you can post a photo of what you have I would suss you have the old kit, a bar that bolts near firewall, grounds to battery, engine, frame rail and a couple other spots

Their meant to give you more power ey?

I wonder how that works....

its possible for fuel pumps to spin slower , just like a cordless drill running low charge, causing fuel rail pressure to vary and diminish (R31 used to have that problem a lot)

when voltage gets low, you loose coil spark power which could cause a misfire and blown engine if your pushing lots of boost or RPM

when voltage gets lower you loose ECU functions , it starts to do weird things.malfunctions

factory grounds (expensive copper wire ) are the cheapest they could produce and still make the car function. cost control !!

NISSAN wires are not the best, they get crusty and break , connections corrode fast as hell . update your main wires is cheap insurance so you come out and your car starts ?

so in your opinion is a grounding kit worth the money?

No

you can make your own cheaper and you dont need such a big setup unless your running mad power and need every base covered , its mostly overkill on anythng but pure , pro racing , massive RPM/boost

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
