Hey guys just a few questions ive just ordered a wolf 3dv4plus for my r33 and i have a few questions for the install. basicly from what ive seen in the DIY you need to install a air temp sensor and a air line to the back of the wolf (air line is for MAP or somethin to disconect AFM) just wondering if these are needed(not that air line is a worry). The only thing im a bit iffy about is wiring the air temp sensor in. If someone could dirrect me to a page or give me some pointers on wiring this in without connecting dirrectly to board.

What is the rest of the engine combination? Turbo, manifold, exhaust, injector size, fuel system arrangement and pressure etc?

Yes air temp is useful but to a degree it depends on where you live as well, how much temp variation you get from one day to the next etc. You can do a lot of a tune around the sensor, but where its particularly useful is helping get around heat soak when starting.

Give me the rest of your info as above and i'll paint a better picture.

does anyone know what there worth? i just upgraded to a wolf v500 and i want to sell my v4 r32/33 plug in.

The V500 is worlds better than the V4, i do ALOT of Wolfs now, i reckon you could get about 500-650 for the V4..... seems to be the going rate.

It's not there to measure the ambient air temp. It's there to measure the temperature of the air going into the cylinder. Particularly after it's been through the compressor housing. Even if you have a very good IC, the air will still be several degrees above ambient.

The reality of tuning without air temp input is that your tune may vary .2 of an AFR. Its enough to make a diference for your light load tunes for economy but you wont pick it in throttle response, or on full power. Turning on closed loop operation with a narrow band sensor and you probably wont even notice the diference. Most ecu's ive tuned i aim for a 15 - 15.5:1 light load AFR anyway, so its still better economy than the 14.7 the closed loop mode tracks too.

Where air temp compensation is very useful is allowing the car to start easily when its heat soaked. Eg.. driven so the cooling system is up to 80 degrees, and then parked in the sun for 20 minutes. The intercooler soaks up heat from the radiator as does all the intake piping and intake plenum. Allowing an extra % enrichment in this situation makes the diference between being able to start the car and not being able to start it at all. Ive seen 75+ degree intake temps when starting my car after its been parked like this.

All my tuning has been done in the tropics where ambient air temps during the day are around 55-60 degrees at the plenum. 70+ on boost. Ive seen maps from gtr's tuned in melbourne and they start their air temp compensations around the 40-45 degree mark. Perhaps the cooler states use the compensation differently...? I'd love to have the intake temps the lower aussie states get.

i drove cats RB26 from wangaratta to campbeltown in NSW to run the engine in (12am to 6amish) average intake degrees on datalogger was 9 to 10 degrees C..... gotta love GIZZMO phenolic intake gaskets :)

When i was in melbourne about 2 months ago I thought it was cold... then it started to snow. The only time we ever see air intake temps like that is in winter, on the tabelands around 2am when the dew is stating to fall. Ive heard of 4 degree intake temps off boost. Easily another 30-40hp gained from a 40-45 degree air intake temp drop.

Uras? your a wolf dealer are you, or are you just installing and tuning them along with everything else ?

Nah but i get alot of tunes come in from other places. Maybe cause WOLF is local (melb) there is alot around. At the moment i do 2- 3 week. The only thing dont like is the Cold start it is evil on them (v4) ... prick to get right.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
