Even totally warm, it takes probably 7 cranks to start. The old VL used to start at the flick of the key :\ tuner assures me it's totally normal though.

It is normal for the pfc's default values paired up with the rb30det, warm it should start instantly, cold it will take 2 turns or so. Well with the values below at least.

Here's the values I'm running now.

+80 - 10

+50 - 14

+30 - 22

+10 - 30

These values worked fine with the std rb20det injectors and gtr injectors.

All though cold starts 'could' be improved at least they start the car fairly well, not 7cranks. :D

I must say my Skyline has never started as well as my old VL. The vl was instant.

That sounds like a similar problem, thanks - should the AFM voltage be doing funny things when it is stuffing up?

You won't be able to tell the condition of the AFM by testing the voltages in this case. The voltages can read fine but the AFM can still be fubar. You need to get your hands on a swapsy.

Great help - thanks joel. :D

Will have a tweak over the next couple of days, because it really is a bit rediculous. I know if I had a close to flat battery and had to start this one in the morning I'd be buggered! Whereas my other VL will start cold instantly, all it needs is one crank and it's on, was the same on this one as well before I did the conversion.

haha well unfortunatly i had to get up in a rush to move my car for my housemate to leave for work, so my plan to put them in this morning was foiled :D

Will aim for tomorrow morning!

edit: this is probably a stupid question, but what exactly are we adjusting with the 'ms' ?

Those cranking values worked awesome - thank you so much! :D

Water temperature was 9 degrees this morning, and it turned over within about 2 cranks.

Now to take apart the AFM tonight and see if that fixes the other issue.

Which value did you use for the +10?

I now have mine at 35ms and very happy with the way it starts.

I've found a couple of little bugs in the pfc that I find it hard to replicate.

If I start the car and accidently touch the accel. while doing so OR almost stalling the car straight after starting the pfc appears to forget exactly where to apply the fuel cut.

It doesn't always do this but when doing the above is the only time when it may.

I slightly raise rpm and it fuel cuts until idle rpm then raises rpm again then fuel cuts.

Driving the car when its like this causes the car to jerk and cut out horribly giving you the feeling its going to stall, but it wont. :)

The fix.. Pull over, turn the car off and restart it. Drive off and its fine. As I said it only appears to do it when I do one of: Touch the accel while starting, or 'almost' stalling the car almost immediately after starting the car.

I came across the stalling the car bug when I had set the water temp correction maps too lean causing the car to almost stall when taking off at low rpm.

Unsure if other pfc's do it but my ap engineering one sure does. :D

This morning coolant temps were 10degree's.

I pushed the +10 up to 35ms, it took ~1second of turning over for it to spring in to life. There was no spluttering just a nice vrooom up to 1500rpm. :D

So the values helped?

i'll have to have a fiddle with mine, i'll try these settings!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
