This question isn't critically important. I guess it's more of a way for me to find the best forum.

My question pertains to compression testing/leakdown testing of my r32 rb20 gtst. I searched everywhere on google and Bing and on forums and came across just a couple that mentioned the question I have. The spark and fuel need to be cut. But nowhere on the net that I could find tells me which fuse to pull or which wire to pull for spark. One set of directions state to remove the wire from the igniter but there are 3 wires leading into it. Then on another forum they say to jus lt unplug the cam angle sensor (can someone verify this cuts both spark and fuel and doesn't mess with any sort of timing). I never really worked on cars ever and I'm changing spark plugs coil harness and a faulty coil pack. I might as well do the compression and leak down while I'm here. I'm just new to this stuff and just need a more detailed set of directions before proceeding.

there are conflicting instructions because they both achieve the same thing; but like Adrian said, if the CAS is unplugged the ECU won't know the engine is turning, so it will not give either spark OR fuel

doesn't mess with any sort of timing).

It doesn't mess with cam timing or affect the results you get from your compression test, but removing and replacing the CAS does affect your ignition timing. When you re install it you will have to use a timing light on it to get it back to the correct timing mark [15 degrees at 650 rpm for R33's, not sure about RB20's, but search cos somebody will know].

Which is why it's handy they put a plug on it so you just disconnect the plug and leave the cas in place.

      He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
