We had issues with the config of the EVC to start with. For some reason it had started just delivering 7psi. By the end of the day it was fine and back up to 15psi, but it's pretty obvious that I'll need Scotty's upgraded wastegate spring.

Thats a pretty good result for 7psi. lol.

You did better than my first attempt, good to see the tune is working and the engine runs fine. How does it feel? That's much more important than the power figure...

It feels pretty good. Looking forward to putting the good tyres back on and giving it a spank.

Shifts are a lot firmer, but throttle response isn't as good. Need to check that part of the map :/

Booked the car back in to get a couple of things with the tune fixed. Firstly whatever is causing the fault light and second the shitty throttle response. First thing Tuesday we should be good!

Just finished installing a GT2 FMIC with one hand into my AR-X. Had surgery on my right hand last week, so it is in a cast with titanium pins holding it together! Was a bit of a mission installing the intercooler, but I couldn't wait. Sweet intercooler kit!

Wow, that's dedication!

Got a mate ordering some bushes for me :-)

So much cheaper than retail when you work in the industry

Eg, r31 rack bushes, $15 fish vs around $45-60 on the eBay

Can't wait to have a bit more camber and caster in the front of the Stagea

I notice when the code clears itself it comes back on at idle, so we will pull out the code and see whats going on. Shouldn't be doing anything like that.

Its not an issue because the aftermarket computer is interacting with the stock computer. Theo- I remember when we had yours on the dyno, and we had a good idle AFR, yet when I was reading the stock computer the O2 correction was doing silly things. The data that I was reading was not actually affecting the AFR. So I'd expect to see errors as the stock ECU is trying to use O2 correction, and sensing different things. 125%/75% combination most likely triggers errors.

There is also 3 different O2 feedbacks in the software to look at.... bit confusing.

Thats the way I see it - no doubt Scott will chime in and disagree :P

The stock computer thinks it still has control, and expects to see a result from its o2 cycling. When this doesn't come it throws a fault. The Fcon is trying to trick it but it isn't smart enough obviously. (or not set up correctly)

Either way, it makes no difference as the stock computer is doing nothing with regards to tuning anyway. As long as it stays happy enough to run the throttle and cams you are fine.

Sounds like hooking the wideband up should fix it. Pretty sure my harness is setup to feed that signal back to the stock ECU.

But if that's what it's doing we'll work it out tomorrow and I'll see if we can find a fix.

Is it presenting as left bank lean?

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
