As the topic states,

I was wondering if anyone here in adelaide has a USB consult cable they wouldnt mind lending for a few days. I would be happy to leave a deposit of a few $$ if you like.

I just want to log data from a reasonable drive so I can get an idea of what my car might be up to. It's running very rich ATM (black soot all over back of the car) and I want to try determine what it may be.

Cheers :blink:

Cheers for that. Was trying to find someone who had one for their own use to avoid paying for dyno time etc.

If no-one has one, will probably take it to Shaun at Boostworx to figure it out, but would prefer to have a look myself. :domokun:

so, Anyone have one?

yeah mate I have one you can borrow.

Problem is you need software to run it - I ended up buying Nissan Data Scan. Unfortunately I use my laptop every day for work so I can't lend it to you too.

PM me if you want to grab the cable.

i think i read somewhere if there is black soot on the back of your car that it is burning oil??? could be wrong though.

have you ever put a fuel injector cleaner through your car = lots o black stuff!!! lol made my car run perfect after though, i can give you my mechanics number if you want to get it done. its sooo worth the money.

Well I don't think its burning oil, but just running very rich. I had a compression test done when I bought the car 2 months ago, 140 accross all 6 cyl so rings are all good.

When I bought it I put new NGK- BKR6E 11 Plugs, Motul 8100XCess oil, Nissan Filter and put through a bottle of Redline injector cleaner. Since then its been slowly getting richer and richer :S Its at the point now it's starting to "pop" when coming off the throttle.

It still pulls very hard, and there is no smoke out the exhaust, so I'm not sure if some sensors have had their day.

Black soot will always be there due to the nature of unleaded fuel. Ever notice a car these days that doesnt have a black coated exhaust? :action-smiley-069:

if u can remember back to the leaded petrol days the nice grey exhaust was a good burning petrol.....or like 1 person on here who uses high octane in is thumper 3lt (not me)

Nah it's still running stock boos :S Anyway, Andrew (Nightcrawler) will hopefully respond to my PM, and then I'll at least be able to log some data on the sensors. Give me a bit more of an idea I hope.

I took the plugs out on the weekend and cleaned them as they had gone black (fouled) on all 6cyl, but it didnt seem to help. Wondering if I should go back to the suggest plug temp rating of 5 seeing as its on stock boost. But then again, I have an EBC I was going to install in a few weeks and give it 9-10psi (as its still only stock cooler) but will definately need 6 temp plugs.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
