stuart, the stock map wont be too bad to drive around on for a while until you get a proper tune with AF meter.

someone elses tune doesnt take into account the differences in your setup ... eg. clogged injectors, lazy fuel pump etc.

your rb26 is essentially stock and the stock 32 GTR FC map wont be too far off

Good advice by Slippery, but a dyno tune/remap really is good value these days with the high fuel price. Not only will you gain power, but you should gain cuising economy also. Depending on the kms you travel I wouldn't be suprised if you paid back the cost of the tune within a couple of months due to fuel savings (assuming you can keep your right foot off the floor that is :unsure: )

Pay for a tune. Its not worth blowing up the motor, which being R32, is already fragile

Copying tunes from someone else's PFC and some other workshops work i would understand to be illegal. Could be wrong but i'd say it would be.

Come on guys help him out its not going to hurt anyone.

1. If you have paid for a tune then you own it just like you do when you buy an engine or pay for counselling so you can share with who you want at their peril.

2. Down here in Launceston there is 1 dyno operated by a clown in my opinion so it's difficult to get any tuning done here other than the open road which is a bit dangerous and a bit illegal in 4th gear at 8000rpm's.

Infact you can't even get your original ecu chipped down here because no one does it!

I think Stuart is just asking for help so that he can cut down the illegal time tuning out on the road. So may be someone can help the guy out???

Cheers

Not illegal as not copyrighted work, but is not very fair or ethical as there was a cost to the tune in the first place.

Plus Stuart you run more of a risk of damaging your engine by doing so.

Well intellectual property etc etc came up.

if you do something for someone else, then you give it to a competitor (being anyone that doesnt pay for the work) then i dunno.

Im not expert, but it rings some bells

There's no Intellectual property in this case.

Besides, the end user can choose to take their car anywhere for a tune, and each workshop modifies the tune as they receive it. If tunes were IP, then each successive tune would constitute a derived work and would have to adhear strictly to the original tuner's terms and conditions...

Absolutely no chance :)

14psi is too high

on the topic of tunes, what does everyone feel when a workshop locks the maps and settings via datalogit or power excel? does this not seem dodgy as all hell, i mean youve paid $500 odd for the settings, why should you not be allowed to view/see them ?

Is this locking feature password protected or just an on/off setting in datalogit?

yes the locking feature;

hides all values for any given setting and set them all to zero's

the following software can unlock/lock

fc datalogit

apexi fc pro (retail version)

apexi powerfc pro (power excel tuner version)

it is NOT password or a code/key feature it is merely lock/unlock.

any of the above programs can unlock/lock any of the settings

ie: datalogit can unlock power excel lock

any other software that can emulate the apexi protocol and send the right sequence of commands (see powerfc hacking exposed on how to do it)

i actually had a workshop say they would lock and password protect my maps on my autronics, and when i mentioned it to my new tuner he said they have had people that had to take the company to court just to access the ecu again, because it cant just be reset and start maping again without the password.

lucky i got out of there before they did anything

Its an interesting question... the tuner is somewhat responsible if anything goes wrong but considering you probably waive that responsiblity when you start modifying your car I dont see any point to it other than the tuner wanting to protect the data from being copied between mates, etc. The tuner would then risk losing business as word gets around that they lock their tunes, so I couldnt image that many people would do it.

From a different angle, its probably more beneficial more the tuner to allow fiddling by the end user as eventually the user will bring back for retune.

The tuner should be upfront about things like that and the end user should ask the question of what should happen should they change the settings.

Imagine if I were to come and setup your home PC real nice then lock all the settings [ as many large corporations do to their users ]?? .... yes exactly :)

Yes, locking a customer into your business like that is anti-competative and is highly against the law :)

EDIT.. UNLESS you sign a contract!

Edited by Color_Of_Green

weve gone a bit off topic here

i dont think the issue is copyright, rather its that someone elses tune is not going to be perfect for your car and will be just as far off 'perfect' as the stock power FC values.

therefore, around in circles we go :)

THANKS EVERY ONE FOR YOUR IMPUT. I DIDN'T RELISE THERE WAS GOING TO BE SUCH SPIN OUT.

SOME ONE RECONS THAT 14POUNDS IS TOO MUCH,I DO BELEIVE YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I HAVE BEEN RUNNING 16POUND BOOST FOR 5 MONTHS KNOW,I ONLY TURNED DOWN DUE TO FEUL VARIENCES,MAYBE I HAVE SOME GOOD TURBO'S OR JUST BEEN LUCKY.I HAVN'T CHECKED OR PULLED ANY THNIG APART SINCE I BOUGHT MY GTR.I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW.

THANK ALL STUART[ >_< NISSANGTS]

Hello,

My PFC map is 100% self tuned, but I read Paul's FAQ before I started. Will Paul be pissed at me if I share my map?

:)

I can send you my map, but I should confirm you're looking for an RB26 map. (Thread title refers to GTR, but your profile lists RB20...)

Take seriously the cautions to make sure the tune is right for YOUR car.

I had mine running just like I wanted, and then one day it started running rich across the board. Boost leak should make it run rich on boost, but either the same or lean on vacuum. Not that.... My guess is that my fuel pressure regulator is dodgy. I've ordered a fresh Nismo adjustable one and will re-tune.

Anyhow, PM me if you want a look at what I'm running.

Cheers,

Dan

i dont mind if you share the map, go for it

its probably not a good idea, you would be much better off just getting it tuned correctly

^^^^^

What he said!

The PFC base map is intended to err on the safe side, but even they can't guarantee you won't hurt your engine.

Thank you all very much,i will work on hte standard map that comes with pfc.+i will plug in my air feul mixture meter and go driving for a few hours.i have done many haltech systems on a va0iaty of car and never had a problem with maps that people helped out with.pfc is new to me and the manifold vacume of the rb26dett dose give alot of variance to the haltech system due to the 6 throtle butterflys.

my opinion is that haltech is a great system so i hope i havn't made a mistake buying the pfc.

regards stuart :ermm:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
