tuned from the dealer?

how can they do that with a 'stock' ECU ?

i think they can, they have machines that plug the ECUs into and gives them the maps etc, my mates piece of shit mobile was ****ing around, injectors flooding etc and hyundai put his ecu in their comp and fixed it up!

yer, but that is a Hyundai. Any car these days basically has that functionality - and its pretty common for locally sold cars to have the whole "jack in" mentality.

You can muck around with the Nissan CONSULT tool, which will plug directly into the ECU and you can fiddle - but that is mainly a diagnosis and troubleshooting tool, not a tuning tool as far as I can gather. Read the 200sx or the R32GTR service manuals (out there as PDFs) and you'll see what it does.

New plugs, new belts, new fuel filter, new oil and oil filter, radiator flush, gearbox and diff oil change, power steering fluid change, battery fluid check, air filter check, brake bleed and adjust, tyre rotate and balance.. ...all helps ! :)

would and oxygen sensor cause any other type of noticeable problems that can be found on a dyno ? as ive had a full powerfc dyno tune and everything looked fine on there, hmm, gotta get a retune next week anyways so i will tell them how much economy im getting and see what they say :P

Costs me about $20 for every 100km's I do... (32GTR)

I only usually stick in $50 lots and always get around the 250km mark... doesn't seem to matter how I drive...

Compaired to my old carby turbo 240Z at around $20 for evey 50km's... it's a dream :P

Just got 455kms out of pretty much a full tank - however consider this: I drove to heathcote and back, I also had 17 drag races at heathcote and also did lots and lots of fanging during the week, plus some normal type driving - I would say that my air / fuel ratio's and general state of tune is pretty darn good :D

I am now wondering how Jamezilla fared from doing the same thing ;) ? Did you go through 2 tanks or 3 ?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
