Yeah posted by me. When I first found it 6 months back, I noticed the was R33 wiring diagram on their FAQ, so someone has one on a 'line.

The only that has stopped me trying one is that I intend to try and make a controller that can do this, amongst other things (ie. AFM intercept, boost control, data log, and maybe traction control)

Hi Guys,

Launch control, flat shift and anti-lag can be found in some of the more advanced engine managment systems around, the Autronic SM2 has all three. They are definately cool features, but tend to be for serious drag racers, in the 9sec or less bracket. That's not to say that they wouldn't make a difference to a Skyline, but I think it would remove some of the fun.

b2barker,

If you manage to make one of these I'm sure we'd all be interested in the results. Good luck

See'ya:burnout:

he was only joking skyzerr :P

I think these things are only about $290 or $300, which imho is pretty good compared to the few grand you'd need for ems which supports it (even though they obviously carry many more benefits)...in fact I'm thinking of scrapping the tyres idea and going straight for this one :D

has anyone had any experience with these? either this box or from their ems functions?

If this is what I think it is, it's just an optional rev limiter.

Hold a button in and it limits revs to a pre set level (ie. 3500rpm).

The E6K on my mates GT4 has it and it allows you to have very consistant launches. Neck snapping launches actually :):)

Pretty sure that it could be used on RWD cars too, like I said, it just limits revs.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
