Hi y'all

My tuner reckons he needs my car overnight so he can set up the "cold cranking ???" on the PFC first thing in the morning when its stone cold and only a tiny window to do it in according to him.

Found out he was using a dyno somewhere else but didn,t tell me his one was not working

He clocked up 300k in my car and has set boost @8psi (9psi standard) because he wants it back to finish it.

Not f'kn likely once bitten twice shy.

:) He had the car for three days before I demanded it back

Very sloppy pfc + boost kit install ie vac line draped across hot plenum and Map sensor at a 45 degree angle to the vertical Book warns you it must be vertical or overboost may occur. Easily fixed though.

Its a really nice car I think he was using it as his daily driver A low act

Anyway water under the bridge.

Could someone tell me what the cold cranking set up is

I can easily wind back up the boost with the hand controller and monitor knock levels Map traces etc.

Have been getting right into this tuning lark thanks to all the excellent info in the threads just the theory so far until I get my head around it all . before I do it for real.

So is this guy taking me for a ride or is what

He comes highly recommended from my research for a good tuner on this web site. Ha

Would like some input please

Cheers

Mike

tell him NOT to touch the standard PFC settings for cold start and that you dont want a cold start tune.

IF your engine runs like crap in the morning after the tune then il get you to post up your settings so we can double check it across the stock settings in case the guy trys to be a smart ass.

I have NEVER EVER had to change the cold start and run tuning on ANY Power FC on ANY Skyline.

If his factory cold start on his PFC has been tampered with, I'm assuming that a reinitialize and start over again would bring all that back to standard again?

yes you could re-initialise it to reset the cold start settings but that would erase the whole tune

you can simply ask someone who has an un-modified (ie: almost everyone) cold start settings screen and change the numbers back

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
