Don't worry, in 10 years' time you'll be glad you kept your $150k R33

Straight swap for gravitating BMW

Tonight's activities, trying to fix the ABS.

New relay in and nope, still have an ABS light. Will check fuses next, followed by sensors then ABS computer. If all else fails, will retrofit a new ABS system (yeah nah, jk).

Then made the car appear a bit more legal(?) Lol... Factory 18s officer.

You use a link right ? The link you can reassign the cam signal cable to actually be the crank reference signal. On an Elite you can't as it is a fixed pin on the ECU, so they were sending them out preconfigured for link wiring on cas wiring pins 1 and 3.

Yes a reluctor generates its own voltage. Can't believe Haltech told you to supply it 5v !

From what I can see the neg reluctor side needs to be pinned to ground and the pos side signal output pinned to the Elite TRIGGER +, so on a cas loom that would be the 2 outside pins 1 and 4.

The way NZ wiring is sending them out appears that they are pinning the signal to the HOME + which will never work on an Elite unless you swap the pins at the ECU end which you don't need to do.

Got my NZ wiring cam trigger today and got it working on the white 32.

FYI what I posted above is correct to work on the Elite. Pin the reluctor to the 2 outside pins using signal ground and crank trigger +, no ecu repining required.

Nice, you'll notice you'll have less trigger count errors at higher RPM compared to the OEM Nissan CAS.

I updated my post on the Kebabtech forums too. Funnily enough someone also PMed me on the Kebabtech forums asking for help regarding the NZ Wiring Cam trigger too.

I still would much prefer the proper Ross crank trigger setup I have on the blue 32 with DC powered hall effect sensors though - can't beat measuring the crank position from the actual crankshaft.

I sort of winged it with the trigger arming voltages, something you don't have to worry about with the hall effect sensors. Might have to have a look back at your voltage table for comparison, but I gotta say so far so good. The timing light is not jittery like a cas and is rock solid, so without going proper crank trigger these definitely seem like the next best thing especially for the price.

Of course, nothing beats a crank trigger.

However this is decent for low powered RBs (sub 500kW is considered low power these days lololol). 

I might look into a stronger timing belt to avoid belt stretch. Currently just has an OEM belt in there.

I had Gates racing in both 32s but as everyone knows they are a pretty noisy belt. Still running gates in the white 32 but changed to a Nismo in the blue 32, sounds like oem in comparison. In my 33 I'm using a Power enterprise belt which also sounds like oem.

The issue with gates belts seems to be the nylon glass chord construction making them very stiff, whereas the Nismo, Power enterprise, HKS etc. have a high kevlar count in their construction making them very flexible and therefore sound less whirry.

Maybe Gates, but I am judging that purely based off of their stiffness. Maybe I am talking out of my arse too because Nismo and the like would not use kevlar for no reason, as it has a higher tensile strength than steel. I think I'll be stuck in the Nismo or Power enterprise belt camp.

I'm surprised you can hear a properly tensioned timing belt over the fan and injectors, gates or not. I run the gates one in the race car and can't hear it at all. Obviously they would get noisier between the belt and idler/tensioner bearings if over tensioned

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
