nah didnt change everyday driving, or even just planting it.. as it always went to 100%

but tonight i shall be swinging around for more testing.. i have something else i wanna try..

but i have noticed that down low the AFR's have changed down low on stall.. obviously now its getting much more air and not tuned for it, and where there wasnt boost before, there now is.. i guess the MAP sensor is helping but yeh.. i may need Cihan to do a quick road tune just for bottom end WOT.

when you get yours in today let me know what you think??

plus i think that it would only make a good difference with a highstall.. as you said yours is now hitting stall so you wouldve seen the bigger difference. the extra 5psi or so helps.

Ok, makes sense. At least now he can tune it properly as the damn throttle opens now, a little lean off boost should be ok and help it spool I guess. Better call Cihan later.

the quick test i did in the city, the car went to 45% then to 100% for me. the 45% was probably a delay in the screen update or something.

ill do it again this afternoon on the way home in the back streets. at least the car will be well and truly warm by then

you need to fully press the brake in. and hold the accel for a few seconds.. it should sit at 40-45%.. if you release the brake with the accel to the floor you will see 100%.

It definitely feel its much more responsive and the hesitation it had sometimes coming out of corners is gone. There must be a delay on that wire I cut to stop the throttle opening. Bloody Mr Nissan.

thinking of this.. i actually have slightly better off the line take of.. as in the response to when you slam the accelerator is much different now..

lol this morning i managed to get the wheels spinning again, and they're pirelllliiiiiiss lol

fun lol.

im gonna put mine hidden in the dvd area.. eventually

When you think about it, there's probably only 2 possible reasons to even put in a switch.

1) The ECU eventually throws a code (unlikely given how many km's you guys have done since cutting the wire)

2) You lend your car to someone & you think they may try to launch it from standstill, & they can't drive, & it's wet, & etc

In which case you wouldn't lend them the car, right? I put the switch in so I could easily compare before & after & before & after again, & after & after....lol. But I wasn't hooning & there wasn't a tunnel anywhere near here :whistling:.

The only difference I could pick driving around town was that there was slightly better acceleration if you really had to cross the intersection before getting t-boned, & you'd been stopped with your foot on the brake.

The launch is certainly better, but not as noticeable as my experiments a few weeks ago. Obviously there were other factors at play then, but not enough to make me want to pursue that testing now that a free mod seems to fix the low end restriction.

What's funny was the conclusions we had come to previously that seem inaccurate now pinch.gif .

ok ill perform this mod one day this year........ damn being married into an italian family is hard work. something on ALL the time lol

anyway, i bet the nismo ECU gets the cams on faster, so lets go with that so craig and i still have something over you all :P

Mate, I hope you do get something extra for having a Nismo ECU :blink: . You'd have to be annoyed at paying money for nothing more than you could get by cutting a wire.

Surely Nismo don't just disable that input and sell it for $800 or whatever?? That would be a huge scam if that was the case lol.

LOL. :nyaanyaa:

Anyway, I decided not to put a switch for now as it seems to be fine. At worst you would only have to turn the car off for a second to reset it anyway.

The high stall converter is the key here though, I could never get it onto stall before with the highflow so it would always be a slug off the line, even worse than stock because I had no push from the converter (because it wasn't coupling yet) Now I can so it will make living with the GTX turbo much more bearable.

youd hope thats not all they did!! haha

but no it was a full tune as well, also dual maps (if you want that). who knows about the cam advance, Scotty is there any way to tell? does something go high or low that i can chuck a meter on?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
