Dr Drift has a really good rep on here and is known around the scene as one of the better people for tunning the stock ecu on your skyline. He can adjust your standard computer to get better throtle response, better economy and more power using the mods that you have to the best of their ability.

I am trying to put together a group of people here in Canberra to do a day of tunning sessions with Dr Drift.

Is there any interest out there?

Check out his sight at DR Drift

CEF11E does them locally so maybe that's why there's not much interest.

Well. Seeing as how I'm not getting any interest for Dr Drift I'll change tack.

Who has had CEF11E tune their car and what sort of results did it get? How long did you spend on the Dyno?

Hi All :laugh:

Firstly let me inform you all that by no means am I a professional tuner. and do not wish to take any business away from those that are such as Dr Drift or Jeff from speedlab. I have developed my interest and skills in tuning from my own desire to learn and a few years of practical experience.

I have a technical computer background and spent a few years developing single board computers and industrial appliances for the Australian industry and learned all about programming and EPROM's so naturally when i bought a car the first thing i would do would be pull the ECU apart and find out what sort of smarts it had and would read the ignition and fuel maps. I had also been modifying performance cars for a few years and had developed a good sound mechanical knowledge.

So I decided to seek the skills of a professional tuner to teach me the ropes and ins and outs of tuning turbocharged engines. I hung around for about a year and was involved in the tuning of mainly RB powered cars. during this time I was always fiddling with my own car and always on the quest for more power. Interest started to develop from friends and I started to tune their cars. I have been doing this now for 2 years and have had no disasters and excellent results. I do not push a tune to the limit to squeeze every kilowatt out, rather develop a progressive and responsive smooth tune throughout the entire rev range not just WOT that many seem to do.

I currently have a R32 skyline with an RB20det producing 240odd rwkw and it retains full factory idle and fuel economy. it also looks dead near standard. I am happy to talk to anyone that is interested in having their car tuned and I will give you my honest opinion about what is the best option, your power goals and expectations.

I can give some numbers but really only from my own car. I have tuned ECU's for forum members but have not recorded who they are but if they are kind enough to post up some results i would be grateful.

CeJay will be getting his car tuned when and if the new turbo will be going on and i am sure he would be happy to share his results when finished. I have also recently done a mail order tune for Haysey so pm him and see what he has to say :laugh:

I am not a non profit organization :) but am not really in it for the money either so at this stage if you wanted a tune done by me you would be paying $150 for the time it takes plus dyno time at the rate of $100 per hour ( I do not profit from this you can book the dyno and meet me there) I have been getting a lot of inquiries since the power fc has stopped production in certain models.

I have the facility to map trace, datalog and everything needed to to a correct and safe tune.

I can tune anything from completely standard cars to bigger turbo, injectors, AFM, cams, larger capacity, nitrous and more. usually most remaps are mild upgrades as people that tend to rebuild with forged bottom ends and cams usually want to splash out and get an autronic.

Thanks for reading!

Please be aware that I do not tune R33 skylines due to the chip the ECU uses to store the maps. I do not have the equipment to tune R33's.

I can remap RB20DET RB26DETT RB30E VG30DETT VG30DET VG20DET CA18DET.

I have one of ceffies chips in my RB20, have done for about 8 months now. It was tuned to my cars specs on info i gave him, have had the car on dynos (for the purpose of monitoring A/F ratios only) and have not had a single problem. Except now i need a diff. Mine wasnt done on a dyno but i'm more than happy with the tune.

Well i've bitten the bullet and am now getting the injectors added and the boost control hooked up so i'm booking a tune with CEF11E. I'll post the results and before and after dyno sheets up here once it's done.

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      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.
