lol yehhhhmellow.gif

i liked it, mine doesnt feel to jittery

yeh it doesnt do anything.. but i figured out full time RWD read the attesa thread.

yeah i saw that

i'd jack the car up all round (a la hover stagea) and see if the fronts are turning at all

this will tell you if its taking all the pressure out of the transfer case

we need to change the title of this thread to "fixed the slow takeoff issue!" haha :)

so on a normal car like mine.. and someone who isnt really interested in stalling it up are there any gains from this mod if you just like to nail it off the line?

Short answer, YES !

Edit: OK, see Aaron's answer above for a slightly longer version :)

an even longer version is this

after a couple of hundred Km of driving, you'll notice your boost will drop, and perhaps other stuff.

you can get around it by putting in a momentary switch in line, press the switch, tap the brake, and your off again.

similar to what leons done!

I tuned in this "limp" styled mode, and its heaps better lol

Should I even bother with this? Did you and Scott put a switch in?

nah dont worry about a switch with the emanage. just go for another tune once you notice the weird limp mode. or when you next mod something.

i dont think scott put a switch in yours, i we definitely didnt in ours.

hmm.. so there is some sort of limp mode enacted? thats odd.. i might just solder on some connectors so i can rejoin it if required.. the ECU is mounted vertically on the wall of the chasis by the passengers feet isnt it?

yup. just infront of, not to the side. the one to the side is the Trans ecu

while we are on the topic of emanages.. do you have to run the ultimate on the m35? is the factory tune aggressive at all or very safe? considering i run LLPG injection and an exhaust i am trying to work out if its worth my time putting one in..

how hard is the install and tune?

the only other mod i am interested in is high flowing the turbo when and if it dies :)

appreciate your help.

hmm, if your car is running fine now on LLPG, and your car is fairly stock, I wouldn't recommend going Emanage.

My car was running pretty good on LPG after the conversion but after installing Emanage and getting it tuned the changeover process turned to shit.

This is not the tuner's or the Emanage's fault. I think the LPG system is tuned to run fairly rich to start with to eliminate any fuel feed issues.

However once the emanage is in and the car is tuned and the mixtures are leaned out, that's when issues starts to happen.

Pretty much everytime I start my car, and the gas kicks in the engine would stall or suffer from fuel starvation (engine is barely turning over and even if you floor the pedal it won't rev at all, the AFR goes out the roof). This issue occurs almost 100% on hot days and after you've driven you car for a while (i.e. the engine is hot).

However, on very cold mornings the car usually kicks over to gas perfectly. Which leads me to believe that due to the nature of LiLPG, its most likely that my feed issues are stemming from the fuel evaporating in the fuel lines?

Anyway, I've discussed this with Seaview Gas Conversion - the same mob that did our cars. They asked me to go visit APS performance (across the road) and get the car on a dyno so they can do some checks. I'll also be asking them to fit in the biggest f**king fuel jets available as my current ones are restricting me to 250awkw....(even less as when I had the car retuned last month Cihan said the AFRs are all over the place and couldn't tune it safely over 5k rpm).

hmm interesting.. let me know how you go on the dyno.

my car is kind of the other way round.. on cold mornings less than approx 7c on cutover it will almost stall and sometimes does.. on hot days cutover is much better and pretty much seamless.

i took it to the snow a month ago and to avoid the issue i simply manually cut back to fuel before stopping the car.. then drove it for about 5 mins before manual cutting back to LPG..

All in all i am very happy with the LiLPG car goes real well only criticisms is i only get about 230-250's per tank (all traffic) and i get a gas smell when i use the heater.. (need to take it back and find the leak).

But all this aside i want some more grunt!! bleed valve is coming going to set to 1bar so that might tie me over for a bit :)

I get the same issues, except I barely get 200km out of a tank. 230-250 is pretty good LOL....

And yes I'm getting the gas smell when I use the heater...wtf??? coincidence!??!

gotta be a minor leak in the engine bay.. gonna get out the suds this weekend :) (spray some soapy water on the fittings while the engine is running and you will get bubbles if its leaking).

I actually get 14L per 100 on the freeway! wrapped about that.. though urban is shite!

Though filling up at 51c per litre i cant complain!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
