i would have my foot 1/4 way down on the clutch while going up the slopes so that the car wouldnt shudder and stall LOL, good old leanring manual days, i dont do that anymore but in the beginning it was pretty much inexperience and i was scared that the car would stall or roll back or something, u get what i mean ?

.....so... just let me make sure I have this right... you were keeping the clutch IN to STOP the car from rolling backwards down the hill?

:P:bunny::huh::D

I think my brain is starting to melt....

1/4 or 1/3 Engaged.... Isnt thats what riding is (maybe a bit of throttling)? The car will move without any throttling but will 100% stall on a twin.

buahahah yes i was a very very big noob mate, i would feather it all the way up , not on every slope though, just where i would need to get the car up from a standing still,

hard to explain bro, just all i can say was i was a noob and the big change wasnt easy at first, but hey you learn along the way and get used to it

I'd like to read something on a comparison though. I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro).

Fuel economy :P ? What fuel economy :bunny: ? Its a skyline :huh:

I'd soon be saying the same thing when I only get to drive her on my 4days break every fortnight!

You not got an ECU yet ?

Nope :huh: I 'was' going for the nistune but now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my car or not. Nistune being a cheap and very effective option...

Ask any mechanical engineer and they'll tell you if you want max power, forget about it being economical....

whats wrong with blitz filters? i have a mines induction kit with blitz sus air cleaner filters or something, cant tell exactly coz all the papers and instructions for them are in japanese, i do find though that they make very little induction noise compared to apexi ones , you can really hear the induction with apexi filters, i was gona get them changed but theyr washable so just asked Dan to clean them up for me.

Poor filtration and poor flow.

I'd say thats more of a PFC failing than anything.

But then again I can never understand tuners. My mate was telling me last night that a tuner had told him the best way to tune a VQ35 was without a AFM OR MAP sensor, but just using the TPS and RPM. I have NFI how that is supposed to work.

Oh mangz thats no fun then . . . hehe

I can still hate you anyway, if you like?

Middlemount. 2hrs drive from Emerald towards Mackay.

Nice! I was born in Mackay.

Whats out there? A mine or something?

1/4 or 1/3 OUT. Isnt thats what riding is (maybe a bit of throttling)? The car will move without any throttling but will 100% stall on a twin.

They way I read it is that he was driving it up hills and leaving it in high gear (ie 4th or 5th) and then as it loaded up up the hill it started to struggle, so he held the clutch in instead of changing down a gear :P

:P

he's at it again!

lol

Ahh k fair enough ! ! !

And yeah I agree, If you want power you just have to learn to let go of fuel economy :huh:

Wooo thanks man

I didn't think there was a particularly good option for nistunes on 25s?

Either having to use a 20 ECU and lose VCT, or doing some sort of dodgy on a Z32 ecu?

You can't trust them though, they're always drunk.

What he said

300kms to a tank FTW :huh:

350! Suck sh*t!

haha i just realised the more you guys know about me the more you will realise i am just your average 18 year old guy who is making the big leap to proper adulthood, im still stupid and immature often , but i dont consider turning 18 or geting a fancy 18+ card to get into clubs and drink or buy smokes legally makes you an adult, you become an adult when you have learnt alot and apply what youve learnt in life to make mature and sensible decisions for yourself and realise the consequences that your decisions have on people who are close to you, perfect example, when i go to uni and socialise i see guys and girls who are 20+ years old some even close to 25 and you would be really find it difficult to distinguish between them and a 13 year old kid at high school if you were asked to.

Oh good! I'm not the only one!! <3

And I drive a shitload harder than you do. I don't feel so bad now :P

Yeah Im looking forward to seeing how much I get when I thrash it for a tank

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
