Hey guys i just purchased a power fc with hand controller.

The pfc has a tune that was done by hitman on a r33 with the same mods as mine.

I tested it and the max knock i could get floggin it at 10pm tonight was 25. It only got 25 onlce, mostly would be arounfd 14-18 knock.

Going by this ruff diagnosis will this tune be fine for me to use for 5 weeks till i can afford a decent tune if i monitor knock?

I plan to wait till i buy a turbo then get the whole lot tuned.

Thanks in advance guys

If you just drive it sedately, there is no reason why it wont be ok.

If its not knocking then thats not too bad

I wouldnt go flogging it though. I would have it all checked with some AFR's aswell as Risking said.

Might only require a touch up, or maybe nothing at all and it'll cost you basically a couple power runs ($80)

Thanks for the info guys,

I was of the assumtion that if it had low knock and the car sounded and felt right it should be ok? If the Air/fuel was lean wouldnt that cause a knock reading?

What if i erased the tune and ran the base maps? would htat be any safer?

I might enquire about gettgin it checked tomorrow, jsut dont wanna spend money as trying to save for a turbo then get it tuned.

Cheers

Just drive it sedately... then it will be safe, just like the base map :laugh:

If you dont wanna spend the coin for a few weeks or whatever.

I would suspect it would only be a mild touch-up to the map anyhow.

There are other factors, but that doesnt matter for what we are talking about.

If you just put some self restraint on your right foot...

Thats all the safety you need, either that or put the stock ECU back into it and go back to how it was :sorcerer:

Id recommend you be putting the stock ECU back in. Unless you can keep off the right foot.

Lean AFR's have nothing to do with the knock readings unless you are pysically out of flow and its really leaning out big time.

My GTR was maxing out the injectors at 1 bar. Run 1.1 bar and it would detonate. Put in a set of 800's and countered for them with the Same ignition map and no more knocking.

If you drive it around leave the Tune in there that it currently has.

Just get a few power runs done and some light throttle cruising checks.

The only shop tomorrow likley to take me charges 120p/h dyno time and their labour is $75p/h , not cheap. So i will quiz them about checking it.

Ideally i will be taking it some where else, but that some where else needs to be booked in advance, theire time is gold but well worth it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
