Well I went for a quick lap today and have altered the settings for air temp vs INJ on injector 2 as JonnoHR31 has suggested. As Paul had confirmed, these settings 2 air temp corrections have no effect at idle, yet the corrections are applied when driving. So thanks for your assistance guys.

Thanks for your assistance to Trent. Especially offering to look at a map for me in the middle of the xmas break period.

I changed the 70 degree air temp value from 1.147 to 1.050 ish(I think.. that was 6 hrs ago and im in holiday mode!). This seems to have done the trick as the AFR's are no longer diving well into the 11's when on boost. It actually went to 12.0:1 (so it seemed I guessed close).

Hey man its been awhile so maybe you can share the latest info reguarding to this....if any?

I live in a similar climate to yours and have already done my inj map but it varies from as much as 11.3 afr at arounfd 47*c ,down to 10.8 afr at around 55*c .......my aim is for 11.0 afr

I see you mentioned you changed the 70* setting to a lower value which will lower the entire curve a little, but it still remains that at any temp above 40* fuel is still being added

I was thinking of shifting the first point up to maybe about 50* and also decrease the 70* value a little, so in essence fuel will only be added after 50* and will not be as much either due to the lowerd 70* value

I think those temp on the table were originally meant for Jap cooler climate and is not suitale for our tropical climate....my car reaches 50* after about 8-10 mins driving on a cool 24*c morning with just a couple of short stops at the lights

The only thing i am concerned about is the 3rd row(boost) on the table....if i change the 40* value it would affect this too and i have no idea what that setting is for??

Summer has nearly come to an end where I live so tuning for me has gotten a whole lot easier. The ambient air temp outside today is 27 degrees, which is a lot better than the 38 I was seeing a month ago.

I still see high air temps after only short running time. Typically above 50 degrees the moment the engine is up to temperature. Sometimes over 60 when stuck in traffic, and never less than about 52 (on hot days) when cruising on the open road. But what is being read here is the plenum temp, not the air temp. As the climate has cooled down a little im not as concerned with air temp corrections as I was, and am more so focusing on getting better transitions into different load bands by moving my load and rpm scales around. I will definatly be relocating the air temps sensor to 1/2 way up the return pipe from the intercooler next time I pull the hoses off the car. I might try sourcing the Mazda air temp sensor as well, and give that a try too.

As for the 3rd row with air temp vs setting vs boost, thats something ive yet to play with as well. If I had to guess I'd think it was boost control related, and not many of us are using the FC's boost control feature so it will probably do nothing at all. That it mentions boost for an L-jetro map does back up that guess. Maybe Trent could confirm?

Edited by GTRNUR

i believe the air temp vs boost is set to cap max boost based on airtemp and correct it down for excessive intake temp

i have gtr boost kit working but i do not have air temp sensor (gtst) so i cant test and advise sorry

the powerfc maps are as-is maps and the airtemp correction is used to retard timing as airtemp goes up

that is, it only retards timing with higher airtemp, not add timing when its cooler

so basically you should tune the car in the coolest possible conditions as a base line and when summer comes along the PFC will self correct down (IGN) when intake temps are higher

but as you said, thats using the factory sensor in the factory spot which nissan setup for that reason

so im not sure if moving it helps or makes it worse, if the intake temp is hot, its basically hot, so therefore run less timing

Even on a 24*c morning before my engine is even up to temp, the air temp is close to or sometimes passing 50* depending on traffic

The ait sensor suffers from heatsoak badly in my book because surley with an ambient temp of around 24*c the intake temp should not get past 50*c driving like a granny

Ive thought about using a teflon washer or similar between the sensor and plenum but i havnt been able to source one...maybe you can as a first option instead of moving it totally

I think i'll shift up the 40* temp up a little since the ecu has no reference to boost that last column should have no effect, so it will start to add fuel a little later, wouldnt add as much, and i would rely on ign table to do the rest

I always welcome Trents input....havnt seen him around in a while tho?

i guess if you think about it and close the bonnet

then add in the intake temp of the engine bay + compressor wheel + all the pipework etc it doesnt sound too unreasonable (50deg intake temp)

Another thing...I noticed when i tune my idle cell to 14.7 at around 48*c as the air temp increases it gradually leans it out to around 15.2 at 54*c ...O2 feedback off obviously

Now this is totally opposite to the table we are referring to now as this table is designed to richen up with an increase in temp

Anyone have any idea as to why its doing this ?...it seems like it only leans it on idle tho cause the higher parts on the map it definitely getting richer with increased temps

Thats the opposite of what I see. My cold start AFR is 13.4:1 as that is where most heat is generated and also where peak torque is. This richens out to around 12.8 once its warm. The injector pulse value stays more or less the same, but the air temp change directly affects air density, so it goes rich.

I could lean it out but the side effect is the injector pulse width gets too small and then the bad spray patern of the injector causes a random lean miss (at idle). I prefer the smoother running as opposed to being enviromentally friendly. Given the opportunity I would switch to a set of ID1000's so the pulse width's can be pulled back a lot further.

Yea..my cold start is around 13.5 too but leans as it comes up to temp as it goes down to the idle cell.

The strange thing is tho it continues to get lean with an increase in air temp even tho it stays in the same cell....i dont think there is any setting for this right???

I've heard that lean pop in all rbs so i dont bother with it really and it seems quite happy idling even down to 15.2 @920rpm....on the rb31 it will be a different storry tho....

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
