Hey, anyone have experience with using this little gadget on a V36.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201031617244?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The GTR Guys use them for track days to avoid a bonnet pop from hitting a cone etc.

The connector looks exactly the same on the V36, I guess its probably just some sort of resistor.

I've emailed the seller in Japan & he could not say whether or not it would work with the V36, just that they have not tested it with one.

Has anyone here tested/using this on a V36 for track days etc?

Cheers.

Best way to be sure would be to put an oscilloscope to one of the pins to see what voltages you see. If it's constant, then you're right, it's likely to be a purely resistive load. But if you see a pulse train of some sort, then chances are there's more to it than just a resistor, particularly if there's more than just two pins to the connector.

Ok, after a bit more research, I've spoken to a guy in Japan who helps me occasionally bring in Vintage Japanese Electric Guitars which I am a collector of.

He says, in Japan they make this for R35 GTR, V36, Y51 & Z34, one part fits all.

So as a bit of a favor he's going to source a set locally & send to me.

So, I guess I'll be the Guinea Pig. Does sound pretty positive though.

Cheers.

Sure, probably going to be 2/3 weeks before I get the parts & then probably another week to find time to do the job.

I'll do a pictorial "how to" if successful, for anyone that might want to do it also.

So unfortunately it could be a Month at the outside for a definitive conclusion.

So, bear with me if I don't update the thread for a little while,

Cheers.

Doing a 'how to' would be great, but I would be careful what you mention on a public forum.

Permanently canceling a pedestrian safety feature would be frowned upon by the authorities and your insurance in the case of an accident, especially if a pedestrian was hurt. You may end up paying any compensation yourself, even if it was their stupid fault.

Hi Scott, yes I fully understand that. I consider it a track only mod.

From what I gather its quickly reversible by just unplugging the modules & re-plugging in the Bonnet poppers (battery disconnected of course, thanks Ben.).

The "how to" is just to show people what they need to remove etc to get access to the connectors.

I certainly understand where your coming from though.

Cheers.

Okay, good news.

They Fit & work 100%.

I ended up buying a set off Ebay to suit R35 GTR, as my mate in Japan let me down unfortunately.

Access to the connectors is pretty tricky but totally do-able.

With both Bonnet Poppers disconnected & the Cancellers installed there are no check lights on the Dash.

I've done around 1500k's with them now, Track only of course & no probs.

I'll post up some pics later.

Cheers.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
