THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT IT:

just want 2 know if any 1 has had anything 2 do with them..??

NISMO RACING CHARGING STABILIZER

NEW Racing Charging System

Fits all vehicle (Nismo special design for Nissan vehicles)

Benefits:

** Increase Torque ** Increase Fuel Economy ** Car Response Up

** Stable Idling ** Quick Engine Start ** Lesser Engine Noise

** Optimize Electrical Equipment performance

EBay again?

It's not genuine Nismo btw.

You're much better off spending (less than) that on some thick gauge wire upgrading your car's earthing points. See this thead for an example: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=82677&hl=

That sounds like the HKS Circle Earth system. Autosalon did a review of the HKS one a while back and said for the money it wasn't worth it, and you'd be better off making one up yourself like raz0r$harP suggested. But it makes your engine bay look nice!

"Oh no it's the cops!"

"Worse, the police cops!"

Yah it is expensive !!!

But hey they are samples so I will try them out.

I have to admit that when I first put it on my car, it was idling much nicer. When I had the Metal Plus it did seem to get me more kms, then I tried the Torque one and kms per tank went down but my car does feel more torquey.

There are 3 other people trying various ones so we will see if we can come to a conclusion at the end.

Autosalon tested the HKS Circle Earth kit on 3 cars: a '94 Pulsar GTi, a series V RX7 and a Forrester XT. From memory they didn't notice any difference in the RX7, but in the Pulsar the owner said he thought it started easier on cold mornings, and his audio system sounded slightly better. In the Forrester, they did notice a gain of like 2kw's or so, but a slight drop in torque in the mid range. They also gave a step by step guide of how to make one yourself and what to buy, was very easy to make for fiddy bucks. They sound like a good idea in theory though, but I'd rather try to make my own for $50 than spend like $380 or so for a brand name one.

well these 1's might be cheapees but for $70 they sound like they are worth a go 2 me..?? anyway i am after sound quality.. so it should help out there

The brand name ones are of questionable use: they probably make some difference of cars with poor earthing. The Pivot ones cost about $120.

Do you really think some Ebay knockoff with a fake brand name is going to be worth the hassle?

Ive had the Apexi one installed to help with Grounding and Idle issues in my car, they definitely help with the idle at the very least. Im not sure about all the other claims of more torque and better fuel economy. Seems like every mod in eBay says it improves fuel economy.

Is there specific point in the engine bay these wires are meant to go to?

Or is it just pick a metal spot on the engine and it'll be allright?

Ive been watching this topic for a while...

the actual power stabilisers have nothing to do with earthing, so in fact you are only comparing the quality of cables. Good quality cable from an electronics supplier will give you very similar earthing results. Another thing is that if the car already has a good earth, the kit will not provide a huge difference, but for older cars with poor earths it will be beneficial.

the powerstabiliser box smooths out votage fluctuations, which can help with starting and ICE. you may not even see an increase in votage tho.

in my opinion the PIVOT one is not worth it, they are relying on people to buy for the brand, I have done alot of research into these and have used similar systems on RC cars in the past.

I have built my own power stabiliser, for around $25 you can make a quite decent one that is compareable or the same as alot of commercial ones, the pivot one may be the best but imho it is not $75 better. I was planning on selling these but I did not want to supply a product that produced such a small performance gain, and testing on my car did not convincingly prove that it provided a noticable result

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
