update: ive got the im240 test on next wednesday at botany.

my plan is to fill up half tank of 98 and half of e85 then tune it over the weekend. the reason im doing that is i dont want to have to do any heavy tuning before the test as its a pain in the ass to tune timing on the street.

im going to disconnect my actuator too so i dont hit boost during the test. that should get me a pass as they only want to see that your CO is under 8g... THC, NOX and CO2 dont matter.

Disconnect the actuator? So it won't open up, or remove the actuator arm and wire the flap open?

Hey man. I'm the guy who's been talking to you and waiting for the money to buy the car. If this passes, will I have any trouble in the future if I don't change any gear?

hey mate, i sent you a PM with some notes.

UPDATE: car is now running on e70/85. Caltex advertise it as having between 70-85% ethanol.

a few things ive noticed is it smells a bit like vinegar/vegetable oil. i want to eat it.

other than that i'll be tuning cruise and light to moderate boost before i take it in tomorrow to see if it passes. i havent advanced timing at all, i will do this when im a bit more confident and have done enough research to be able to do it on the street without passing the speed limits!

it also feels like it picks up a bit better, feels smooth. unfortunately it wont be a full-time thing. its purely for EPA purposes.

thanks dude. got it. My buyer is just waiting for his money so I can have my money. Sorry to keep you waiting.

ok i just did the emissions test. looks like the only issue is NOx. the limit is 1.93 and i got a 2.56... i think ill richen up the tune a LITTLE bit as my CO is within limits of around 0.7 then replace the cat and try again.

what a relief.

little update. NOx can be tuned out by reducing combustion temps. retarding timing helps this. a new cat wont necessarily help (i didnt replace it).

ive richened up the map a little and im going to retard timing by 5 degrees.

im going in tomorrow so i'll let you guys know if i pass.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
