M35 2002 sseries 1 stagea axis autech

I have someone to remote tune my car for LPG as am in Darwin .The guys up here are ripoff merchants............bigtime

Where do I attach the cable? ie where is the plug hiding for me to connect my computer to the cars computer. I believe its under the dash somewhere.

I am a bit paranoid I will rip out something I shouldnt !

A photo would be great so I know the shape and connection type

Thanks in advance

There is no 'tuning plug'. The ECU cannot be tuned. If you want to tune, the only option is a piggy back ecu, either the Emanage Ultimate or HKS FCon, both of which provide limited tunability in the grand scheme of things but should aid in making adjustments to deal with LPG properly.

They are only rip-offs because they have no idea how to adjust it.

An Emanage Ultimate would be the cheapest option I would recommend, you just have to find someone who can fit and tune it. Most of the Emanage owners are planning a trip down to Melbourne when the time comes...

Presumably the LPG kit comes with a fuel management computer? The connection for it will be specific to whatever is installed.

BTW I have a friend running an M35 on LPG, it was a good conversion and car runs well.

Liquid or vapour injection?

Thanks everyone.

yes there is a plug coming from the dash somwhere but I assumed it was part of the Stagea management setup.

Duncan I would be interested to know what km /..

around city

on highway

I have rarely used petrol since ownership but 15km/100km sounds about average form what I have read

There is an obd2 plug under the dash, what do you expect it to do though? Their machines probably wont talk to the port let alone tune through it. Do you have another aftermarket controller?

For full tuning ability without the rip off, go an emanage.

it was vapour not liquid injection.

I don't know exact before and after fuel use....but they are tight arses so they wouldn't be happy unless it was much better :P

and like I said, no changes to the factory ECU or anything else like an emanage is required. It uses factory timing control and an aftermarket injector controller with the gas kit.

From commnets made I believe the plug I must be referring to relates to the LPG system recently installed. The tuning will be from the LPG set up which piggybacks off the ECU. I also found out I will be using teamviewer for the remote connection process.

I have no insights into exactly how they tune the lpg fuel computers....other than to say I have never heard of one needing anything other than a fuel computer, and I've never heard of them being tuned on a dyno. thousands successfully installed in all sorts of cars.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
