Hello there,

I am running R33 GTSTS2 with 14PSI of boost.

I am using the standard ECU, not retune has been done.

(But Nistune + Z32 ECU will be installed soon)

At current the car is making 300HP at the cluch.

However there is a bit of a strange behaviour.

Sometime when I floor it rapidly it feels as if the engine has been shut down for a few seconds.

It's quite violent, but no misfires or stuttering.

Then after a second or so the engine comes back to life and everything is back to normal (I have to ease off the pedal though)

In contrast when I floor the pedal a bit more sensitive everything is fine.

For example I can go to top speed with no problem whatsoever ..

Is this R&R?

Yep that sounds like R&R, 14psi is too much for the stock ecu and you will need a tuned/new ecu to fix that (or lower your boost right down)

Hi!

Thanks ..

Nistune Z32 ECU + AFM is here for the rescue.

I have no idea how R&R feels ... I thought it would be kinda smoother effect.

(It feels like the ECU is actually shutting down the whole engine for a moment)

I'd be more worried about how long that standard turbo is gonna last at 14psi .. :wub:

(Sidenote - how do you know what power you have at the 'clutch'?)

Hi there,

I 'know' about the power because of the Dyno .. the 300 figures is obviously calculated.

(It's 250HP rear wheel)

Ummm that is a chassis dyno, therefore it's "300hp" @ the rear wheels dude.

Although 300 is a bit dubious.

You can clearly see the big flattening off in the first graph, R&R mode kicking in. Plenty of results around that depict this.

Hi!

Thanks for pointing this out ...

But it is definitely is not 300 rear wheel.

At the Dyno they first plotted the higher figure, I guess to impress customers.

Here's (attached) what they said it is RWHP

(I wish I had 300 at the rear)

S_HP is predicted flywheel horsepower...

but thats ok because you have never been wrong

I'm honestly stunned a tuner (and really, anyone who uses a dyno) would even bothering to use the 'predicted horsepower' feature given how inherently inaccurate it's going to be ... it's just going to confuse the owner, really. (But hey it gives a higher figure for the warm fuzzies, right?)

Guess i should open the attachment fully next time to read the fine print, never to worry though when there are people like you are on hand!

LOL,

This has really become a fun thread.

I like ->

'He is from England'

:whistling:

But ... I am half German, so only interested in real and precise numbers.

I don't know about the inherent formula to calculate 'clutch hp' but it can not be too far off from the truth.

Anyhow, I am aiming at HP 350+ at the rear and hope Nistune was a good investment to eventually get me there.

Cheers from the land of clutchpower,

Andrew

Here are some pictures from last weekend:

It could be that you have reached the Air Flow limiter or "Boost cut", if that's the case its easy to sort out with nistune just open up your bin file and scroll down the bar on theft till you reach "TP Load Limit" set these to "255" or if your using the hex editer set them to "FF" this is maximum sume set it a lower so just above STD

I will resolder/rewire the Z32ECU this weekend and dive into the abyss of Nistune :whistling:

I will definitely have questions!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
