my r32 gtr has an issue with tune ...

i rebuilt it last year .. pistons oil pump re-co head and turbos . stock ecu

issue is when i time the car with new cas sensor it runs very well , 230+atws ... but 1 week later , it detunes itself and runs sluggish. alot more noticable above 3000rpm. engine doesnt miss hesitage , engine lacks intake and turbo noises and a heap of power above 4000rpm. . . . why do i have to keep playing with the CAS sensor .. car drives fine though ....

i put 2mm washer on timing case, followed by CAS sensor, spring washer and 2mm washer

wiring issue? should i find another ecu?

I've had a car do the same thing, replaced countless CAS's over a couple of years. It ended up being a bent CAS mounting bracket that wasn't holding the CAS straight and it would stuff them in no time. it also seemed to be alot worse when it was cold. hope that helps.

stock cam gears, timing is spot on .. just cleaned the CAS sensor up again and im flying :) ...for now :P

sounds interesting , ill have a real good look . sounds possible/logical :) ill get back

got rid off my timing case and had a look at my cas braket. the two dals on CAS bracket are good. left the timing case off , only using the rubber seal that sits around as a washer/spacer ....... under my CAS sensor bolted to the blacket

its been one week and car runs well :rofl: now to put the timing case back :thumbsup:

thanks for throwing me in the right direction ... problems not over yet XD

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
