I should have gone E-Manage and don't listen to sales bullshit again!!!

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Well the Haltech option is "off" my list of things to do. .

Fcon fz ftw!

but it appears they also use the ksrom like what Scott wants to do.. (i always wondered why they used two computers to run the car properly.)

thanks for clearing that up

What conclusions have you come to Craig?

I have issues with my ecu also as the throttle lag is bloody dangerous. Im hoping to find a spare ecu in japan and ship it to KSrom for a chip. From what ive read they have fixed the lag and im guessing the airflow r&r issue. As they are so cheap, they are possibly the best option if you already have a copgyback,(cant write p*ig? totalitarian website developers!) at least untill someone here cracks the ecu.

There are quite a few companies in Japan that do remaps/custom maps.

Yes KS seem to be the cheapest, but there is also Nismo, TEPS and "G-Zone" that spring to mind immediately although I cannot recall the others at this moment.

They ALL get rid of the 25% throttle <2800rpm among other things.

1. Checked with the dyno guy to see that he had clamped the voltage on the signal from the airflow meter. - Done

2. Checked this is even worth going ahead with by doing a long trip to see wether fuel consumption was better - Done

3. Have tried dropping the boost all the way back to 7PSI.....still has the same problem just with less power. - Done

4. Cleaned airflow meter, throttle body and fliter - Done

5. Need to find someone to make up a bigger airflow meter unit to reduce the voltage and see wether that work....will have to go back on the dyno though.

6. Go down to VIC one day and see wether Cihan can fix.

8. Suggestions ...... I will try anything

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Suggestion #1 - Get a decent tuner for the Haltech. I have heard that JEM and Autotech are pretty good. Do CRD tune Haltech's?

Suggestion #2 - If none of these guys can fix your tune... rip the f**kin' thing out and get either an eManage (road trip down here for tune) or Fcon V and get it tuned in Sydney.

If you decide to go with #2, I would look into the FCON first, although both Cihan (eTuner) and Trent (Status Tuning) are damn good tuners and probably worth the 8hr drive.

Any aftermarket ecu should be able to give you a good tune. The difference between them will be things like ease of use, fineness of adjustment (number of mapping points) computing power, useful life etc. A grunty top shelf ecu will be able to give a super tune - any ecu should be able to provide an adequate tune. If its giving you a crap tune then blame the tuner - in other words find another one. He should be able to make it run properly and tell you if anything is needed to make it run better - e.g. new afm, bigger injectors.

hell, once mine is tuned next friday on the dyno (AEM F/IC-8 & S15 injectors) I'll be toying with the tune myself, laptop

will fit a lambda sensor + guage, and road tune to buggery

=)

You guys know this how? Ive had my car on the dyno for close to 6 hours and only got it partially tuned. The M35 ecu is a lot more complex than you think, and since it controls the throttle, it has ultimate control, even though the Emanage controls injectors and spark.

If its so easy, why hasnt it been done yet?

its because its a copgy-back and they are never as good as a full remap. i THINK with a ksrom,gzone blah blah + emanage or a decent copgy back will be the best IMO.

well, frankly, from ALL research, the AEM F/IC-8 is the best copgyback you can possibly buy, better than the emanage ultimate simply thru the sheer size of the tune scope.

ie 3 different overseeing controls, 22x17 pc mapping x 3, for air:fuel, ign.timing & injector duty.

get a remapped ecu and add in the F/IC-8 or a Emanage Ultimate (same price, emanage is widely known, but the f/ic seems pretty awesome - looks easy enough to self tune with the AEM Wideband kit)

and you'll be laughing !

currently with the remap S1 c34 + safc/sitc got 240rwkw, not a bad tune at all... but with the remap s1 c34 + f/ic-8 copgyback + s15 injectors I expect a much better result.

throw on a wideband kit, save the logs of your drive, and tune to your hearts content :(

Yerrp remap for sure! no need to have all this other copgy back business going on.

if my gtr's motor wasnt near completion i'd buy that m35 tomorrow at pickles. and go thru the process of doing it..

i think i'm about to get buttt raped ;)

Agreed... IF you live in Sydney... and IF you are not modding after the remap!

(unless back and forth interstate trips sound enjoyable)

I wouldnt mind if the price was right. I would still run the emanage for fuel adjustment and multiple maps. Of course I dont think they were looking at the throttle issue were they?

Sounds like the best setup for we "Mexican's"

Don't think is was well known then... but I am sure SAS will be made aware of it.

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
