Help Wanted! Found Something Odd With Power Fc Setting

hey guys,

i recently bought a r32 gtr from a private buyer.

car has a fully built engine and is running a to4z with twin rb25 afm (green sticker) and the usual supporting mods.

now today i was going through the power-fc and noticed that the AFM selection was set on stock r33 gtr afm even though its fitted with rb25 afms???

so i switched the power-fc to the rb25 afm selection and took the car for a drive. now weird thing is the car drives alot smoother and comes onto boost earlier and the external gate open much, much earlier. BUT the car dosnt go anywhere near as hard as when its set to r33 gtr afm.

its weird actually, car makes all the correct sounds, revs out smoothly but just dosnt go anywhere when set on rb25 afm.. sort of feels like slipping clutch(its not! brand new twin)

im unsure of what to do? leave the power fc on the setting it came with (r33gtr afm) or switch it to the correct rb25 afm?

im getting it retuned in the next few weeks anyway so im sure the problem can be resolved then.

has anyone else come across this?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

put it back how it was and get it tuned properly

they might have used datalogit and edit'd the AFM ramp directly (unlikeky, but possible) so even though its selected a BCNR33 it could have a completely different ramp. either way, changing it to something different and trashing it, is not a good idea, given it would be using a standard AFM curve to suit HR32/ECR33 (assumption, they might have edit'd that one too)

thanks for the quick reply mate.

yes i understand what you mean about playing with settings and driving the car hard. :(

i only brought it up onto boost once and made sure i watched the knock level... but it was a once only trial and dont c the need to do again!!

however, i will drop by PITS in the next week or so and book her in for a tune.

thanks again

change it back to how it was and don't bother getting it tuned. leave it.

why do people have to touch something that aint broke?

guilt-toy- well its not broken but its not exactly the smoothest tune!

plus i would rather get everything checked out for my own piece of mind! plus its cheaper then a rebuild if something was to go(or is) wrong with the tune.

thanks guys.

GTR maf is 65mm

GTST maf is 80mm

they flow more and are larger in size

remember a GTST has 1 x 80mm afm and GTR has 2 x 65mm

so when you fit a PAIR of GTST afm's to a GTR, its a fair upgrade

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
