Hi Guys,

Just trying to get some background on Nismo in Sunshine on McIntyre Road.

Im getting my car checked out and have it booked in tomorrow because my car is stalling on me

and seems to be once its heated up, if i short shift and not let the air filter suck in air it doesnt do it, once

i give it a tad it plays up so i thought ill take it there as i got my fmic and 2nd hand rb20det from them, they seemed pretty good.

Has anyone gone there or know if there reliable, im mr paranoid about my car due to what ive done to it, mods and things like that.

Any feedback would be appreciated, ive read the forums about the poor bloke whos car was stolen and read there actualli called nismA but they give stickers after servicing which says nismo and answer as nismo and so forth, whats the deal there? im getting paranoid about taking it there now.

Thanks GUys, stay safe! :D

If you don't feel confident about leaving your car there, simple solution.. don't take it there.

There's plenty of other workshops that can have a look at that if you can't find an answer on the forum.. and believe me 'stalling' has been covered heaps of times and it's in the workshop manual as well. Just depends on the symptoms but it's usually 1 of about 5 things off the top of my head.

kaz thats what i was thinkn too but im trying to find a good mechanic who i can constantly take my car to to get modded and fixed when it needs fixing.

chasers workshop ive heard good things about and i know ppl who know ppl der and have recommended it.

are you aware of some good places? all i want to do is take it sumwhere, they tell me the problem and ill fix it myself, because no point being charged hundreds in getting them to do it when i can do it myself ya gets?

its just that story about the guy who had his car stolen has been on my mind heaps.

David, just sent you a PM, I too live in Delahey :D

Look at their stickers, the "o" is a turbo, that is used to disguise the "a". For copywrite purposes, they have to use Nisma.

i bloody knew it, after reading the story i looked and thought hang on they could get away with saying thats an "A" funny enough the whitepages is Nismo, they answer Nismo.

When i first went there this guy called Fred who i presume owns it said he worked in Japan for Nismo for 10 years and is affiliated with them, he seemed really really nice, i had no issues with them.

But ive never heard anyone recommend them and now that i no this nismA story i dont trust em.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
