Gizzmo one needs the Shift light as well.

Bee-R cuts the entire ignition circuit on and off as required.

The Gizzmo is sequencial so it shuts down cylinder by cylinder.

Factor in the $300 odd for the Shiftlight for the Gizzmo.

PS. If you get the Gizzmo one, I want a full review cos I would love to get one.

BASS OUT

I have both, 200 for the shift light, 170 for the launch controller

Haven't had a chance to wire them up, but as soon as I do, I'll give you a ride in the car Pete :(

(I'm hoping to get some 1.7 60ft times with it hooked up)

Dark, is this also a 0kmph rev limiter? I don't want the rev limiter cutting in when moving. Also is it easy to turn off?

Does anyone know of a proper rev limiter like this one without the shift light? And by proper I mean one that shuts down individual cylinders, not the whole ignition circut.

Thanks guys (oh and sorry if I have hijacked this thread)

It works on a clutch switch

So, it only activates the limiter when the clutch is in, so it allows you to flatshift, and keep full boost

You can always hide the shift light in your glovebox or somewhere where its not visible.

If you want something like what you described, Wolf/Motec/Autronic should be able to handle something like that

The Gizzmo also has a rev-limit function.

So there's the clutch limiter and total rev limiter.

The shift light is big, and I wish they made a smaller one.

I was considering pulling one apart and remote mounting the L.E.Ds so that you only have a little L.E.D in the corner of your dash.... That's the ultimate in stealth

Problem is I have a powerfc and a datalogit so its not viable for me to change the ECU.

After something small, that cuts revs with ignition cut, and yeah, minimal stuffing around to install. Wish I had a powerfc pro, or they kept making them :(

i came up with the crazy idea to use datalogit to edit the aircon-on idle RPM to around say 3000rpm in the FC then disable the aircon system (fuse or something) then to activate the launch rpm turn on the aircon (even tho system disabled). the FC would kick up the RPM as the A/C switch is ON and sit at whatever RPM you dialed in but as soon as you tapped the throttle it would drop again. and it could be unsafe, but more than 1 way to skin a cat

:sorcerer:

FC pro exists for r32 and is $1400 brand new from nengun.

you would have to flip the two injectors that the ap engineer guys do.

also load your default 25 maps or current tune. the rest should be fine.

but you will loose the VCT if you do this

actually ill add that to the FC faq as an alternative for the FC Pro on rb25det

its a shame the rb26 FC pro was discontinued, if you can find one of those

you could use that on your rb25, would give you the following

working airtemp

support for twin afms if you want

support for twin 02 sensors if you want

pro functionality

VCT wont work

Paul,

You would need the airflow from the open throttle to rev to 3000rpm.

I think.

The idea is not so much the revs, but the masses of fuel pumping into the manifold and the wide open throttle.

Problem is I have a powerfc and a datalogit so its not viable for me to change the ECU.

Can't you wire up a clutch switch to the datalogit, and use the antilag? Ovisly you won't get the ignition cut rev limiter.

Antilag is meant to work when your foot is OFF the throttle

It would kind of defeat the purpose of hooking it up to a clutch switch

i read that it dosn't work off the tps, but off the clutch switch. so when the clutch is in (launch, gearchange) it retards the timing and goes bang bang.

But apparently it dosn't work, so that fixes that.

i cant see that being useful on a launch, on gearchanges, yes

do you really want to retard the timing while you're trying to rev/accelerate?

Retarding the ignition heats up the exhuast gas, hence spinning the turbo faster.

That's how Anitlag works. Lots of fuel, retarded ignition.

I thought it retarded timing rather than ignition?

When the driver lifts his foot from the gas pedal the ignition timing is altered with sometimes 40° or more of delay (retard) and the intake air and fuel supply mixture is made richer. The inlet butterfly is kept slightly open or an air injector is used to maintain air supply to the engine. This results in air/fuel mixture that keeps getting in the combustion chambers when the driver no longer accelerates. The ignition being delayed, the air/fuel mixture reaches the exhaust tubes mostly unburned. When the spark plug fires, the exhaust valve is starting to open due to the ignition delay mentioned above. Additionally, the exhaust temperature being extremely high, the unburned fuel explodes at the contact of the exhaust tubes. Luckily the turbo sits right there and the explosion keeps it turning (otherwise it would slow down since its intake, the exhaust gases, is cut-off).

I've just confused myself even more

I'll shut up

379 from otomoto.com.au

bought mine secondhand off yahoo auctions for $80 delivered. Chucked it on my N/A RB20DE with a "race pipe" (no need to worry about ceramic turbines) and scared the ba-jeezus out of everyone when the clutch got dumped.

It now resides on a CA18DET in an actual race car, so its sorta well suited. Which reminds me, there's different Rev Limiters for different engines, RB and CA are the same though.

If you hook the handbrake signal cable up, then you can dial in 2 different max RPM's before cutting ignition. Really good for drag racing, sorta pointless on the track.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
