I deleted mine a few weeks ago; It's a time-waster with lax security/privacy settings...

Hrmmmm .. $150 seems cheap; I got a nistune put in my ECU months ago from the groupbuy, still haven't had it tuned. Anything to get a bit more power and fuel economy would be awesome... especially at that sorta money...

I know, $150s cheaper than I would have expected, but then again if it only takes them an hour or maybe two, then thats pretty much spot on...

I'm getting some nismo AFMs put in tomorrow and a retune - if we can't get it sorted then I may take the car to boostworx just for the tune, we'll see what happens

i remap will only be done after a full tune

remap = touch up tune full tune will cost you about $450 @ boostworx JRM to i think don't quote me i can ask on friday for people $600 with Martin Donnon less club member discount

Pretty sure Martin charges $500 Steve, $450 for SAU:SA members IIRC

Errr air/fuel ratio on my SAFCII? Like he did on my R34 and got 20 more rwkw out of it.

Haven't got it fitted yet though to the 35 (haven't had time to get out my soldering iron).

I'll call boostworx tomorrow to confirm this price. I have access to a RWD dyno so I may very well play around with the tune myself - that said boostworx have a track record with skylines and are literally in walking distance from my mechanic so I'm keen on giving them a shot if I get stuck...

I like places that do conservative tunes

whats wrong with a knock tune!!! :devil:

heh, nothing if u made ur engine to tolerate that stuff but me, i got a daily... i dont need a tune that hardcore - would rather go 10kw less to make sure it doesnt knock even in the worst circumstances

-D

EDIT - Just had some fun at home. One of my brothers snakes got out of its enclosure (one out of a dozen) and I was in the room looking for a box of pizza shapes and I turn around and theres this python just looking at me... dude was a little lower than my head but we were looking at each other, and he was having a good sniff... and I think the both of us were thinking "Oh hey, what the f**k..." looked like one of the smaller snakes he had cause its head was really thin, but decided against trying to wrangle it myself - got my bro and he pulled the wires out and extracted a 2.5 mt green python from the back of the couch....

yeah... im glad I erred on expert help - they might not be venomous but their bites still hurt

Any idea on what would be causing my rb20 not to rev past 4500rpm?

It virtually hits an invisible brick wall...

*no brick wall jokes.

:devil:

Do you have a PowerFC Jake? My brother-in-law has just had this exact issue (plus intermittent spark plug reporting issues on his MFD) in his R33GTR and turns out the PowerFC was knackered.

Writeoff had a buggered powerfc. IIRC he sent it back to nengun who said there was nothing wrong with it... and then promptly sent it back :devil:

David now has in his GTR the PowerFC out of the R32GTR that was written off in Targa Tasmania the other week. All works perfectly now.

He is getting the final tune done on his brand new VSpec Nur engine next week with the HKS 2530s. Can't wait to see what number he makes, but I expect it to be a little bit over 300rwkw. Not bad for a daily.

lol is that the r32 that flipped a couple times nose-tail and they bent just about everything on the car?

wicked crash that

300-340kw would be what I'm aiming for with the turbo/manifold upgrade...

-D

Negative on the Power FC, Andrew.

I don't understand.

Im fairly sure my #6 coilpacks is stuffed, hence why im changing coilpacks. Once the engine gets warm..after 10 minutes, it breaks into 5 cylinders, and make's WRX owners envious of my engine.

However, tonight, i did not have an issue at all..drove for about 40 minutes, except for this problem of it limiting itself to 4500rpm.

I'm going to have to assume it has something to do with the coilpacks, as the problem has just 'magically' disappeared, but this new problem has come about.

AFM wouldnt be knackered, it would be obvious there was earlier im the rev range i would think?

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
