Hi Guys,

I have noticed that during warm up and under very light throttle (no boost) the car wants to surge and has trouble holding a constant rev.

I have also notice that there is considerably more power during warm up that when at operating temperature.

Any Ideas ?

I was thinking it might be something to do with AFM and the air intake temperature sensor. As we all know that performance is reduced in hotter temperatures.

yeh mine does the surging thing as well.....did it with the standard turbo to. Don't know about the more power when cold thing....mine goes like a piece of shit when its cold.

yeah mine does it too. i have a theory, i rekon its something to do with the TPS being old/dirty. one day (when i find it) ill clean it with some contact spray and lubricate it.

apparently SOME V35s had TPS failures, maybe M35s suffer a similar problem?

I find it has consuderable more power though which is a little anoying. I also find that once the ambient temperature is over 17 degrees power drops off. So there must be something going on

well, cooler air is more dense, so it compresses better. i find mine doesnt go AS well above about 26. saturday night i was giving it a hard time with a mate and it was hauling ass but it was around 16 degrees outside.

maybe the intake temp sensor is faulty?

take it to a nissan dealer and ask them to check it. or run the diagnostics thingo yourself with the key/throttle combo trick

The default richer fuel mapping when cold coupled with cooler denser air would give you more power I would think.

Is your AFM clean? Could be a minor issue.

Definitely have a look at the intake Temp sensor, sometimes those plugs can come loose.

Have you removed your front bar and checked your intercooler fins? I know that I had an area that was bent to fark, no good for cooling the charged air.

(out of left field) Maybe install a voltage stabilizer such as the Hot InaZma? May help settle things down.

Thanks, Front bar was removed not long ago and everything is clean. I might build a beat shield around the AFM to see if it is engine ambient heat heating the sensor and Ill see if this makes a difference.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
