QWK32 - i have a copy of the software yes..

mods are

HKS GTR-s

front mount

3" exhaust

greddy boost controller

the guy before me had haltech on it but i saw alot of advantages to the nistune so i went that way..

i have acopy of all the base maps aswell, is there some things i can do to that to help things?

i also have a apexi turbo timer which outputs the AFR'S, as soon as you touch the accelerator at 60k's it goes from 14.5 to 10.5 or even 10.0 sometimes..

thanks again

don't pay any attention to the apexi timer reading. the stock narrowband O2 sensor can't be trusted with any value apart from ~14.7, even then i'd doubt its accuracy. if your getting a reading in the 10's on the pen timer, it could really be a value anywhere from say 10-13.

what tune do you currently have on the ecu, stock maps? on the stock maps it will run rich once on boost even with the GT-RS. i suppose you could take a bit out of the high rpm, high load part of the fuel table, but without getting a wideband O2 sensor to check it you wouldn't know if you've taken too much out. do you have access to a wideband O2 sensor?

also i'd be interested to see if you coming close to the limits of the stock AFM, what boost are you running? link up to the ecu with the software and open the timing map, then watch the map tracer to see how close to the right hand side of the map it goes when you rev it out under load. ideally you don't want it to hit the last row of cells. also check the fuel map, it has a smaller load scale than the timing map so you can run off the edge earlier than you will on the timing map.

flippin' heck

i thought you could get Nisstune's for all Stags. i was looking forward to putting one in my S1 later this year :P

you can, but you have to be willing to chop and rewire your ecu loom to a Z32 ecu plug so you can use a Z32 ecu.

don't know if this would work, just an idea. but could you replace the stagea engine loom with a late model R33 engine loom? engines are the same so electrical plugs should be the same. probably have to splice in a few wires that go to other areas of the car, should be an issue though. then you could easily run a Z32 Nistune ecu without having to hackup, identify, and rewire the stagea loom.

i have stock maps loaded, no tune has been done since the board was fitted... don't have access to wideband.

using stock afm atm but i have a z32 ready to go (wiring is all sorted just needs to be plugged in). next part sounds like too much effort!! lol

i have no idea once it comes to the tuning side of things so yeah, i friend works at a workshop that has just signed up with nistune so i might just get them to tune it for me.

I am trying to find. Who in sydney does nistunes and has had heaps of expirence and has a 4wd dyno

Someone has recommended CRD for tuning. And I do believe they have a 'special' offer in their business thread on these forums.

But I've never done this before so....

Unigroup.

Either get them to drop the front driveshaft or drop it yourself.

If they are happy to let it on the dyno with the little green plug pulled then you can go that way.

I would strongly suggest using them.

i want unigroup to do it but i am a fusy prick and i want it done in 4wd. Unigroup know envy performance and they have a 4wd dyno and sometimes use it so i am trying to see what i can hook up.

What difference does a 4WD dyno make? Nearly 100% of the time your car peddles around on the rear wheels.

If Yavuz uses the Envy dyno it will be for cars that does allow easy 2WD mode.

Best bet is to give them a call and see what they say.

I paid extra for a 4wd dyno once but then thought why did I do that ? There is no point whatsoever fussy or not. Just drop the front driveshaft and pull the fuse and the 2wd dyno will do just as well. The only difference is you will get a rwd power figure but so what ? The tune and output is the same. You can always look out for a dyno day on a 4wd if you must have the awd figure.

...and it will be within a bees wang of being the same anyway.

not quite true.

my car dyno'd at 210rwkw with the front shaft dropped on a 2WD dyno.

on an AWD dyno it dyno'd at 178awkw - same car - same mods - same boost.

different dyno, yes, but i doubt it would account for a diffence of some 30+kw. lots of mechanical loss of power in the drivetrain. does that mean the car would go harder in 2WD mode? i have no idea.....but the dyno doesnt lie...much. heheh.

(out of interest, that was done on an eManage Ultimate. i now have a Nistune that i'll be throwing in and getting retuned. Mod's won't have changed at all, so it will be verrrrry interesting to see what figures they can pull out of the Nistune vs the Emanage)

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      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.
