Hey if anyone could be so kind to let me view some examples of their ign/fuel map i'd really appreciate it! I took my car to a reputable tuner! It cost me an arm and a leg! After getting it back pinging its head off, i refuse to go back there! What makes it worse is they lost the dyno tuned map i had for it originally! i just need a better base to work on than the one i have!

My specs: R32 gtst

rb20 440cc injectors, wolf 3d v4, r33 turbo running 15psi

3inch turbo back exhaust

splitfire coils

front mount intercooler

i realise every car is different, so i will need to work on it to make it work! but a good base to work from would be a huge help!

take it back man! maybe something went wrong beyond the tuners controll? take it back give him a chance. tell him your really unhappy about what happened and that he has to fix it for free. also tell him that if he cannot fix it you want the old tune put back in your ecu.

I have already been back twice! no luck just gets worse! Can't afford to risk any serious damage which it has probably already suffered from pinging its brains out! last time i got it back it wouldn't even use half the load map! a friend picked that up after 2mins in the car! why couldn't they? also so if they don't pick up simple stuff like that what else are they not seeing! also map is so irregular its noticeable when you drive! As far as the old tune goes! "oh we can't find it was their response! no help there! Thanks tho in most cases what you said is what i'd do but it's gone beyond that now! I'm not here to bag the people that tuned it! hence no mention of where how! and as far as problems beyond tuners fault, well it'd be nice if it was that cos then there'd b a fault to chase! sadly no! everything as it should be, but ignition and fuel map jumps round all over the show! so bad in fact it wouldn't idle at the lights without wavering between 800rpm and 2000rpm without even touching the throttle! fuel economy lol or fuel extravaganza, 5km per litre! not good! like i say in my post a little help with some examples would be nice, as where i live we don't have many options as far as performance tuning goes!

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
