ok... problem fixed after months of wondering what the hell it was. my mate works at nissan in ipswich and we hooked up the consult machine thing to it. and it came up saying the KNOCK SENSOR wasn't thereor something like that. well i searched on the site for knock sensors and lots and lots of people have had the same problem with the knock sensor. i just wasn't looking for the right thing. i looked at it them this morning and one of the plugs were disconnected. how the hell does that happen, and the guy thathad the car before me had it serviced in brisbane at a nissan place and they never picked up on it.... WHAT THE. alll those months of no power. i'm going to mt glorious tomorrow with my girl... time to test it out!!! :headspin: :) :headspin:

So, howd it go?

I just got my car back from getting it tuned on the dyno, and it was having exact same problem. Hitting 4500 the power would follow the curve hitting bout 230rwhp on the first run, but on the second run would break down and lose power to about 175rwhp. If they turned the car off, and then back on again, same thing on first run, then crap from then on. After hours of checking they finally found the knock sensor loose and dirty. It seems to have fixed the problem...phew!!

Did u replace your knock sensor??

Will

hell yeah.. before it just died at 5 grand and now it pulls to 7 grand all day every day. raced my friend with a mazda 626 turbo and it beat me before i fixed it and now a beat it by about a car length over about a 1/4 mile.

Really?? 230rwhp, I was hoping for more. Ive done, exhaust, filter, boost, fuel pump, fuel computer, front mount intercooler. Although it was at 0.8bar, as it was being dynoed for tuning the fuel computer. I spose if I was to go for a power run at 1bar (still got standard turbo) then it would be a bit more attractive...

Ive got the HKS Super AFR. The apexi seem to be most popular, but Ive got everything HKS so i wanted it to match. It also has a few more rev points that can be tuned I think, built in processor ( fuzzi logic?? Im not sure the advantage) and also built in EIDS, which is an idle stabiliser to help stop that stalling problem some people get with aftermarket blow offs vented to atmosphere when drop off accelerator quickly.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
