and i want to fit my adaptronic 420c ecu from Australia now this is where the issues start as i have a base and i think the fuel map will be off which isnt a issue but i have been reading that the rb25det has a variable inlet cam ! so i was wondering if you lads can help out seeing as the ecu is from ur place plus you know ur skylines

you will need to call the adaptronic dealer in aus to get this info, we don't use adaptronics in Skylines very much.

remember that the r33 vct is different to the VVT on other cars.

You have to set it up to be off from 0 - 1200rpm, then switch it on at 1200rpm and turn it back off again where the car likes it the most, usually around 4700rpmish.

You should try and sell the ecu and buy a Vi-Pec V44 plug in, that would be your best bet.

i think ur right we have mark shead from ma developments here who has a very good relationship with ray hall so v44 plugin seems the way then i take it that will control the inlet cam as its a replacement ecu ?

Yea best to post on the forums for adaptronic, Andy or one of the boys with jump on it pretty quickly for you or even give them a call.

Have you tried the map on their site for the rb25 that someone dyno tuned?

yeh the screen shot is from that map and the cam control isnt filled in hence this thread and adaptronic seem to be helpfull but not to the extent i need ! so i take it adaptronic isnt a favourite in Australia then ?

Yes. There are a couple of tuners on here including myself who have setup the vct on rb25's with the V44 ecu so you should have no issues with setup. Ray Hall will load a map into the ecu with VCT already setup for you if you ask him, if not i can email you one.

You won't regret getting the V44, its a great ecu!

are the adaptronic classed as a bad ecu then?

and does anyone know if the solenoid for the vct is just a on and off operated or is it pid controlled

i would put them in the same boat as a microtech, they work well and do the job. don't listen to what i say though, i do not know much about them.

I remember msnismo had one in her car and she removed quick smart for a Haltech

this is how the vct works

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
