Hey guilt-toy, i was wandering if youv ever been able to get rid off the clunk clunk clunk hard cut rev limmiter on the link g4's

and got them to sound like the full bangy ignition cut limiters on the older ecus.

We have been trying several diferent settings the last couple of nights with my mates rb25 but still doesnt seem to change it much, channging th control range, turning the advanced mode settings off and having it on plain 100% ignition cut and its still very much the same.

We ended up just setting it to -10* timming on limit to make it a bit bangyer but still not that happy.

This is the limiter we are trying to get rid off

Any help much appreciated!

so i been back in The Republic of Georgia (ex soviet union, thanks paul... lol)

its been great to be back to be honest... not really interested in doing much tuning since i been back, not that most of the people here could afford me anyway.. i been really really enjoying the weather!!! the cheap booze and the chicks here are sooo f**king sexy... fark... don't see girls like this in UAE unless you go to Dubai i guess....

I just finished tuning the car that i was paid for comming here to tune, its a long story but here goes....

Back when i was living here there was a really known car accident, 4 kids died in a BMW M3, they were racing a merc on one of the main roads, this main road has a big ass tree every 3 meters and the road is very unstable....

Inside the car 2 brother died inside the car, and another one or 2 guys.. not sure.. all under 20 years old.. their family are wealthy and the car was purchased by the parents...

anyway before the accident the kids came to our workshop and enquired about buying a Vi-pec ecu for their wrx... they wanted to buy one to tune their STI, with a 2.5 block...

I still remember the day when his father came to our little workshop and asked to buy the vi-pec to finish the build for his son as a memory... i swear to god i will never ever forget the look on his face... the look said a million words without anything having to be said.... just looking at him was hard... he purchased the ecu from us and by the time the car was ready i left the country and moved to the UAE.

Anyway after some time past the car was ready and they were keen to get the car going, but the tuner who was trying to start the car in Georgia could not even start the car, then they offered me to go over there.... to be honest it was hard to say to no to him, because of what happened also the weather in the UAE is really hot atm so i decided to come back for a week for a break...

weather here is awesome!!! i have had such a great time! do not regret it at all!!!

I looked at the STI the same day that i got here, after i put the vi-pec in the case i managed to start it in a few minutes and the guy was on his way to do a 3000km run in period (the engine builder insisted)

anyway i just tuned the car, as we were going down the road where the accident happend the father was driving me, and said "you know this is catatrophe here", i remember where it was and knew what he was talking about.... after comming back from tuning on low boost we were going past the same place and he just dropped it in third gear and boosted the shit outta it, gt35r custom forged ej25 in a sti on 6psi it was flying... kinda scared the shit outta me... but the more i think about it... it was his way to express to his sons that he finally finished their project and that meant alot to him....

we tuned it on .9 bar boost which was enough for the customer and everyone was happy.....

tomorrow morning i will fly back to the uae, so it will be back to the sauna and bad cheap bingali / pakistani / indian made food... its ok when i make my own food though....

so yeah... il post some pics up... since i been here a tuned a few cars but not many... one R32 GTR with a t04z with nistune and another r34 gtt with some custom gt35r with precision housing... the 32 had about 320kw at wheels on low boost and the 34 had 300kw at wheels on low boost....

just looking where they have put the Dyno Dynamics dyno, wow im suprised any dyno could work in these conditions, and this one working without no faults what so ever!!! even though its sucking sooo much dust and shit that it would be enough to kill anything????

anyways.... will try to post these pics soon...

ok... here are some pics of the new dyno setup.... its not a improvement from the old setup but its better then nothing at all!!

also here is some pics of a R33 with a adjustable bonnet scoop! it opens and closed with a setup that looks like a electric window winder... i got a video somewhere of it opening and closing... kinda spun me out.. kinda cool...

ohhhh and a stupid thing that a mate and i wrote about tuning his r34 while we were at a Irish pub, drinking mexican / american beer in ex soviet georgia.... lol...

:)

the 350z is going good, i don't care what anyone says.. the good ol rb30dett kicks the pants off the v6 =) ! loving that car, but the 32... i am really fallin in love with... i put a hydro handbrake on it and took it for a drift at a small karting track in Dubai, but the power steering rack shit itself when my mate was trying out the car... kinda sucks as its a LHD rack which i imported myself from the usa, its out of a 300zx US spec, the rack cost me $80 on ebay but shipping cost over $200, and now it f**ked :( might try and get it repaired....

here are some pics, and a youtube video of my mate driving the car.

and the r32 after a nice clean =) removed the GT-C's.. they are inside the house and will go back on in winter!

    • 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
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
