spent some time this afternoon on the car, hooked up the PLX wideband sender and guage as a temp item to test it out and check the idle AFR's

hooked up the datalogit and started it up

other than not sitting in the pfc's normal idle cell of 2x2 it was sitting at 11:1 AFR, so i tweaked it enough to run 14.6- 15.5 range - Then it was still hunting badly at 65 deg water temps, so i initialised the unit and ran through the 30 min idle learning - its is better now but will still hunt after you blip the throttle then settles down and stops it after 10-15 seconds.

so atleast i wont be killing the new 100cell cat from running stupid rich on idle.

waiting for a 52mm guage holder to arrive in the mail so i can mount the display and then go for a drive.

also been looking around for a way to mount a female USB port onto the dash area beside the glovebox, so i dont need to have the SM-AFR and the Datalogit boxes exposed in the glove box.. still havent found any product that will allow me to panel mount a female USB port so if anyone has ideas i'd be happy to hear it.

figured out the idle finally lol

ran through the DIY's for AAC and IAC cleaning, scrubbing them both out.

turns out the spring in the IAC (under plenum) that tensions the plate was in 2 pieces :P swap it out with a GTR one i had for the new motor and it seems to be fixed. cold start idle is 1200, but cant let it warm up until the sealant dries.

super cool idea with the usb chargers and the usb plug for the datalogit. lol I can see you are addicted to the dimple punch dies!! you'll be dimple punching everything for a while. it is a cool effect though. :)

Cheers Richard, I'm surprised no one else has done it.

Car is idling normally now, so that's awesome. It was another thing that's been annoying me for years. cleaned the AAC a few times but never looked into the IAC.

  • 3 weeks later...

still no speedo sender :( hopefully soon though, its been ages.

had to drive the car today, and im uber dissapoint with the tune on it :( ramping onto boost in 2nd from a T intersection was seeing 10:1 AFR's which would be a big contributer to the lag im seeing.

options are a retune and see how better it can get, OR a 0.61 housing from the 0.86 and then a retune.

option 2 is another $450 though

Do you want super responsive, or more mid to high end power?

What the hell do you have on the car that is coming on at over 4K?

I think you need to take the car to a magician and have them tune it... I thought you had like a 3082 or something?

huh? what?

hks 3040 0.87 rear AR

comes on same rpm as a GT30R with a 0.61 on another std rb25

In boxes on my shelves lol

Crazy busy working 6-7 days a week up to 12 hours so no time to play cars really.

Going to QLD next week so will be while for updates, see what I can squeeze out.

Must finish welding up my remote header tank and mount that this week too

Been learning to use auto cad 2012 aswell as I have access to a cnc plasma table now, so can hopefully run some sneaky nests in there for tow hooks and my brake caliper brackets

so much doing, getting nothing done lol

Header tanks, ooooooooooooooo

What type of setup are you gonna do? Just a normal type?

Is it ok if I try and catch you before you go away for the cover? No biggy if your busy I just may be out there later this week.

Holidays........I remember them :(

Yeh it can get like that with stupid work. Always interfering with car stuff.

QLD hey? Dont bring anymore cold with you, its bad enough with this lack of heat lately.

You should have a play with solidworks too. They are both great programs. But I love the modeling in solidworks.

Damn those USB ports turned out awesome!

yeah cheers

hopefully i can finish the paint work on the centre/shifter surround and get them finished off. that will be the true test

yeah mate, whitsundays - i hope i dont bring the cold up there - but im pasty white atm so i wont be sunning myself too much lol

yeah seen the posts about solid works, i think i should stick to 2D for now, cad 2012 i think does 3D now but i havent tried lol

They sure did! However, they dont make the car go faster....

one of them will, indirectly

just after that short drive there is so much light load potential left in it, that will make the car much quicker on the street

well i hope so haha

Dave, i'll call you tomorrowe

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
