Motec M800 Tuning Problem

gtr's been in at the tuners for 2 weeks and I think they are stumped... they showed me some data logging and at WOT the line zig zags up and down about 300rpm and constantly adjusting timing like its getting a dodgy signal but can't any... one theory is noise from unshielded wire ( not keen on that one as all I've done is change turbos and wire up stereo, which they don't think could be related ) they're at the stage now where they're about to pull the whole wiring harness out to check all the wiring??

theory 2 maybe corrupted software on the motec... so their fix is to maybe wipe software and reinstall ,, then have to start from scratch with whole tune ???

is there anybody who has had anything similar to this with a Motec M800??.. I realise this is probably a bit vague but thats about as much as I understand :)

we're waiting to hear back from Motec at this point, but any help would be great.

yes, 24 slot trigger disc mounted in the factory cas fixes it. The motec looses the signal when the 360 slot nissan one becomes a blur at high rpm. We had our own custom made and works a treat even at 11500rpm.

thanks for help guys, some of the symptoms on the motec site are the same and everyone seems to be pointing at the factory CAS not being up to the task...

Hi Jonn, its the same one you go to....I'm not on here to bag anyone, just thought I'd put it to the collective knowledge on here and it looks like they might have nailed it.... we'll see what the boys at the shop reckon about this tomorrow.

want to get the car the sorted, track days and night coming up soon, see you up there ?

Excellent. I was wondering which workshop as I know of another car in Perth with an M800 and they might have had some answers for you. Good to hear it's all sorted.

I'm not sure on more track days with my current car as it's up for sale but if no one comes up with the cash then I might sling some 1000cc injectors in it and retune. If I do that then I want to take it back to the track and have a blast.

Did I hear that your other car got pinched??

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
