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

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
