Hi all..

Went to justjap and bought some random things one of them being the volt stabilizer...

Just wondering how and where do people install this?

Running a long earth wire from the battery to the distributor? or?

Any pictures and/or advice would be greatfull.

Cheers

'err isn't the thing to be installed next to the batt on the boot of a skyline?

I ran 4gauge power cable from my neg terminal in the boot to the bonnet then wired up all earths from there. The stabiliser box is mounted next to my batt in the boot. will get some pics when i get a chance:)

thanks, man. it would clear lotsa things up..

to run the 4 gaugecable to the engine bonnet, u would have to take off ur rear seats and run the wire all the way to the front,yea?

I had to remove rear seats to run 4 gauge cable. I ran it under the floor carpet on the drivers side with the stock wiring as there are guides in place. The 4G cable is thick and difficult to thread under the carpet without removing bolts for the drivers seat and seat belt anchor.

I then ran it uder the drivers kick panel and through the fire wall just above the throttle pedal which leads to the drivers side wheel arch under the guard. There are guides there that run behind the drivers side headlight in to the engine bay.

Took a total of 6m of cable to run it through properly.

From the 4G cable in the engine bay I mounted all the earthing points.

Afterwards I did notice better sound quality of my audio and brighter interior lights i think... :laugh:

If anyone could come up with a TUTORIAL on how to do this (with pics too) , it would be good :O

thanks'

isnt there like 4 or 6 wires off the stabiliser? each of these to hook up to individual parts of the engine bay,

CAS, starter, earth strap to block, throttle body etc ??

i would run 1 wire from boot to engine bay, hook stabiliser to the wire in the engine bay then each bit to the spot on the engine...

but thats just me

hmmmm... how do you run the wire from the boot to the engine bay?

i know how to bring it from the boot to the front seat(by taking the rear bak seat off but after that i'm as long as the guy is too.

    • 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. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
