mine has a idle noise pattern, it goes quiet then goes a bit higher then dies down to 50% of that then rises again then goes to quiet and over again... it differs if I'm on an angle, how much I've got the clutch in etc...

despite how much the air con is draining power, the idle control should compensate. sounds like its on the way out or already gone. A good car should have a smooth idle no matter what accessories are on or off. Call ICE on 9512-7591 and ask for Gerald or Nigel.

Was it doing this when u got the car inspected?

Actually, the idle was varying between 500-850 when the aircon was OFF. So I don't know what the heck is going on...it's given me no problems so far. But I better get it checked. I think it was doing that on inspection but probably not that noticeable.

What I meant though is that when the aircon is ON, the idle becomes constant and doesn't vary anymore. Only when it is OFF. Bizarre bizarre.

Other thing that bothers me. Happens occasionally, past 70km/h, suddenly the cars steering goes off abit. I feel as if the rear is floating. I take it that's the hicas at work? However, my wheel suddenly doesn't become aligned straight anymore. However, most of the time it seems to have no problems of that sort. HICAS problem? Would a 4WS alignment help?

Anyone also know where I can get wreckers for skyline parts? Thinking of looking for a Type-M body kit or some nice side skirting. Any advice guys?

Thanks!

On some advice, brought it down to Nissan today. They didn't find any problems apparently. The console showed up nothing, just the TPS was acting up a little. Idle was adjusted and that was it (although it's still wavering a little).

Hmmm..I'm still sus on the Hicas. ECU wasn't readjusted either.

Mebbe I'm just paranoid...

Car's performing fine...and she's a dream to drive. I'm proud to say that...hooray..I finally own a Skyline :D Always wanted one anyway.

Now...to bring the boost to 10psi. Some nicer rims.

Shite..I'm still looking for webspace to host a pic of the car.

Thanks for the advice guys!

hey Ait u should take ur car to a performance specialist and get it serviced, change the spark plugs etc, it may fix the idling. i dunno about nissan though, i think they're just over priced. their services mainly involved inspecting, they dun actually do much and they charge u heaps.

Yes, indeed. They checked, said there was nothing wrong and charged me $65. That idling and the hicas problem still bugs me. I just encountered it again.

Yes, I need a performance specialist who's very knowledgeable in Skylines. I might check out Ice Performance.

INARK, I'm in the East Malvern area.

I'll send you the pics after I change away my hideous charcoal coloured GTR looking rims :D (I'm too ashamed of my car's appearance):eek: :Paranoid:

cool.. may mate lives in malvern on the princes highway... i was hooning around there on friday night :)

post the pics anyway man!! i sorta like my look apart from the lack of side skirts

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
