So I'm selling Both of my new Apexi Power FC's, have got a response from the Apexi engineers and they say its my tune, but I've used the base map and played around with the timing in these areas with no results

So If anyone knows someone after an R33 GTST Apexi Power FC. I have 2 brand new ones. STATUS and others said they have had no troubles with these so it may just be an issue with my car, but I'm not really willing to chase it if they arent going to offer support.

Chasing $1100 for each Power FC. They are both the latest models, come with everything in box including new EL hand controllers.

Looks like I'm getting a link

Nah nothing to crazy, sensible car

just getting an A4, hopefully with an S-line kit and decent mags on it. Probably the only thing I'd touch would be the wheels. Park the Skyline most of the time, drive something that doesnt chew fuel and will be practical later in life. Thinking ahead and all that.

Should be sweet anyway. Bit nicer then a commodore

anyone know who stocks Motul 300v chrono 10w40 engine oil locally? tried calling autobarn but they were busy so i'll duck in there after work just wanting to know if anyone knew for sure a shop that has it in town.

cheers

I prefer Castrol edge engine oil over the Motul Oil. Castrol edge can cop a fair bit of punishment, tried and tested in our GTR and a lot of sport compact drag cars use it as well. Motul oil is very over priced.

I have Castrol edge in mine, honestly there isn't that much difference between them all. I perfer the Motul, it seems a bit nicer (quieter) with it, but at the end of the day most of the higher end mainstream oils will do the job.

I changed from Motul puerly to make life easier for me. I was having to order oil every time, where as going down to supercheap and grabbing a bottle of Castrol is much easier

I'm trying to get some info on Link + Link accessories but not having much luck with it. So far because I'm not that desperate for it I have just been emailing some Australian dealers and have emailed Link ECU direct. Link ECU gave me the closest dealer to me (Townsville) which I already knew but fair enough they are doing there job. At the moment I'm trying to find the info I need, I think I need the expansion cable to run the IAT sensor (as it uses an extra input) so basically I just want to know this and if they supply boost solenoids.

Also, My Power FC's are still for sale :)

Fault is with my car not the unit itself for those playing at home

That's the plan. Finally heard back from someone about getting one. Just gotta add a 4 bar map sensor and boost solenoid and should be a done deal.

Is there any setup for the knock control? I can see you can minister individual cylinders but I'm hoping it uses the stock sensors without to.much stuffing around. Haven't looked at the pin outs for the knock sensors might do that later

Vct setup looks easy, boost looks a bit harder to setup but probably just a matter of playing around with it. Hopefully won't be to hard to tune. Doesn't look to bad just alot more setup then the power fc

    • 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.
