Hey,

I just had a look in the boot of my R33 Series 2, where the sway bar is in, there is a cordoned off area (where the rear shelf for the rear spkrs are).

I lifted some of the felt/cardboard stuff away and saw there was a 2nd battery, larger than the one in the engine bay.

Is this standard?

Cheers,

Tim

the fun begins when you try explaining it to the cops that it was like that from the factory, i had to argue my way outta a defect for it, and the cop really wanted to book me, didnt matter there was guys across the rd doin burnouts,

i was a bit surprised when i found it out myself tho :D

hehehe... of course, but what would a cop know really? unless they fully study up on the cars they are doing over. Doesn't happen much in melbourne

Even if it wasn't - I'm not sure why it wouldn't be roadworthy? I mean plenty of 4WD have a 2nd battery rigged up in the boot for winch or whatever.

it isnt illegal in any way, and every excuse the guy was giving me i pointed out that he was wrong

things like, its not secure... so i shook the battery with both hands and the car moved around.

then i pointed out it was sitting in a catch tray and had a drain tube as well, he came up with its not in a sealed enclosure, i pointed out it was a sealed battery (no filling holes) and that both terminals had insulated covers on em, and he basicly carried on making himself look more like a child who wasnt getting his way rather than a dignified police officer.

in the end i just said look heres the rego papers, the transport auth looked the car over thismorning and said it was fine, so theres no reason for you to defect me as that was 4 hours ago.

(this happened on the night i got the car) i believe ive posted the story once before, but yeh, it just surprised me the length this guy was willing to go and argue about it, i dont even think he had any right to command me to lift my bonnet in the first place

edit :- sorry to hijack the thread ;):D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
