I now have r34 4pots :D

pulled the olive out and that was all the modification needed

still have some air in the system somewhere tho :/

anyone know if there is a bleeding process for the abs? (older abs like32 my had have bleed nipples on the actual unit)

got my Nismo ECU today!
What is it? A replacement stand alone ecu like a pfc or a standard ecu with a daughterboard and tunable chip? Straight plug in or wire in? Sounds exciting!

Its a complete replacement, standalone ecu. Not tunable, its just a 'nismo knows best' sort of case. Should just plug straight in (Judging by the images Ive seen of it compared to the standard ecu.. its the same size/shape).

Won't it have to have a daughterboard or something in order for Nismo to tune it? There must be something along these lines or they've just put a sticker on it and it's the same tune we all have.

maybe the daughterboard.....but it not just re stickered .... have just taken the Haltech piggy back off and run it with both the standard ECU and Nismo ECU.....the are definitely different. Am going to get it run up on a dyno next week to show the differences with my set up......IMO I think the Nismo would be awesome with the standard turbo.....will find out later tonight how it goes with a standard turbo maybe.

That's what I thought, it has to have been modified in some way to tune it. What are your seat of the pants feelings regarding the differences? I guess it's hard to tell if there's more timing other than if it's pinging. Does having this help SAS at all? Surely they would already know how to put a daughterboard in and would know how to tune it? I can't see where the hold up is with this, can someone explain to me as I'm obviously missing something. Not having a go or anything I'm just curious where the difficuluty lies with this whole re-flash thing.

Seat of the pant's = more progressive midrange application with boost...instead of the peaky shit, light footed response better, shift better, 6,700rpm limit. Like I said before I am thinking this will be a better unit for the stock turbo...will let you know later on tonight how it goes.

SAS will get the tune and have promised me a tune ASAP on delivery....hold up is the delivery of the programming unit.

wound up the rear left about a cm due to scrapeage of rim + coilover <_< rims are too wide... they're already sitting flush, so don't want to use spacers... may have to sell them off and get something else a half inch narrower :)

+ front window tint :laugh:

what shade did you go on the window tint josh? darkest legal? just wondering how it looks against the stock rears shading.

Started fitting Series 2 R33 rotors and calipers to the Stagea today. from 16mm thick to 18mm thick and Sumitomo twin piston calipers replacing the 1 pot calipers. Used pads in it for now until I order some QFM this week. Finishing off the install and bleeding tomorrow.

Then next weekend fitting 297mm rotors and 4 piston Sumitomo calipers ... and ordering some QFM pads up front too. :)

All purchased (not inc QFM pads) for under $150 (and some labour). :D

My wife and I just bought a 2003 Mini Cooper S for her to use as a daily. That means the Stag is no longer a daily driver and I can do what I want to it. Hehehe :(

Oh, another positive... it turns out the Mini has a John Cooper Works kit which boosts power from 120 to 155kw :) Previous owner must have spent a lot of money on it. Kit includes exhaust, supercharger, cylinder head, air box, injectors and remap. Bonus for me. The down side is that I'm overseas and the wife picked it up yesterday, so I'll have to wait 2 weeks til I can drive it.

Fitted Tein master wagon rear coilovers, Apexi adjustables coilys to the front , Sorted my squealing brakes .

Took it for MOT ... and had forgotten to put the CAT back on ... Failed on emissions ... Div.

I now have the fantastic task of removing 2 snapped bolts in the cat so i can fit it again .. Great.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
