Hi all, I have posted about 6 threads about this in the last year or so and still havn't resolved it.

When I first got my car it ran perfect. no cutting nothing.

First mod was FMIC, KKR480 turbo, SAFC II, 10psi.

All done these in one hit. Ever since then it has been ecu cutting at high revs.

Now I know every thing about R&R and what it does and it IS NOT Rich and Retard. I am tanking like hitting a rev limiter. Ignition compleatly cuts for a second or so.

I ended up just thinking it was the ECU cutting due to too much airflow recorded on AFM.

Ok thoes first mods were about a year ago.

My car is now compleatly different, new engine, RB31DET forged internals, cams, head work, KKR560, Q45 AFM, Bosch 023 fuel pump etc. etc.

Now I have got the actuator on my turbo disconnected because I am still running the engine in so I am getting about 2-3psi max.

I am still running stock ECU with SAFC II to deal with fuel until I get my microtec LTX12s later on. I also have a set of 870cc Siemen Deka low impedence injectors to go in but I have to wait for microtec for that.

With my current setup I am still getting this "cut" at like 4500rpm onwards with only 2-3psi of boost. A friend of mine was in it the other day and he was like wtf was that cutting bs... and I was like yeah ECU is cutting due to too much air flow and hes like umm bull shit I have been in a 210RWKW R33 with stock ecu and stock AFM and that had no problems at all.....

I am now really confused.. I mean at 5000rpm in my car with 2psi I am going to be making what 120RWKW or somefin.

So I was just wondering if any one had ANY ideas....

I may have to record my car doing this and put it up on youtube as most people dont understand what I am talking about. its like a COMPEATE cut of all power for like a second or so. I have had my car Rich and Retard and you basiclly just loose power due to it being rich and retarted timing but you can still continue reving the car it just doesn't love it. Where as what I am getting there is a compleate cut like the car goes from making heaps of noise at 5000rpm to compleatly silent and the tacho just dropping until it stops cutting.

Also it doesn't cut unless I am flooring it. like I can rev it all the way out to rev limiter if I give it say 60% throttle.

I am going to borrow my mates RB25DET ecu and see if that makes any difference.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
