I am after a suitable ignition retard unit to use on my GTR.

I must be able to:

interface with the nissan CAS/Ignition system

Be able to provide up to -30 retard

can be switched on or off(bypassed) with a switch(clutch and or TPS)

Currently looking at this. Not sure if it will interface ok as yet.

Currently looking at an anti-lag system, however Knock retard is also posible.

the ones that i can think of are the bee*r limiter box (not sure if this does exactly - i think so)

or the gizzmo launch interface, thats on the apexi site as apexi do gizmo now

that mega jolt box sounds fantastic actually

Well you cant alter the input reference signal by more than about 1 deg in a normal configuration. You may be able to find a device that patches in between the ECU output and the ignition module but it may get messy as its doing the dwell control which will vary at least with rpm. If your at a stage where you want an antilag system then I would be going aftermarket. Autronic SM4 will do anti lag no worries - also has rolling idle to help keep the engine temps down. Also say goodbye to your catalytic converter as well.

Is that the two step launch controll rev limiter?

I did not know it does ignition retard as well...

Do you know if this rev limiter shudders the crank shaft as much as the hard fuel cut ? im a bit worried about breaking something down there.....

gizzmo do a launch controll unit with retard built in. im sure he could give you some idea on what to use. i will pm his number.

True that, assuming your talking about engines here :angry: ... iv heard of more then one N1 oil pump going bust due to bouncing off hard rev limits.

Just talked to RAY.

I can confirm they will be releasing a 2 stage Launch control In feb 08 that includes an upto 40degree retard. All of which displays on the Tach Gauge during programming.

Will be released here first along with there new dash.

pretty sure the current one does cut ignition and cycles which cylinder it shuts down too

Interested also if crankshaft oil pump drive problems (well known on stock 32 especially)

can be made worse by using one of these as either a limiter at launch or antilag at higher revs

oh so the current one does not do ignition ?

spewin.. il have mine soon.. does anyone know if this limiter shudders the crank really hard?

The current one doesn't do the ignition retard.

I have tried mine with 30degrees retard which=constant backfires and It doesn't show up on my knock meter...promising for the crank.

my engine knocks to 80 every time i hit limiter on medium boost from 15psi to 25psi.... on 30 psi it goes off the charts...

so yeah i cant wait to get this thing..

So no one knows if its a softer cut then the stock hard fuel cut ?

      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.
