You don't need it but you definitely want it.

You should get your tuner to hook up the consult and in the active test section they can activate it and deactivate it to see if the solenoid is working. You can hotwire it to test the solenoid also (direct from a 12v source)

If it's not wiring or solenoid problem, then the Nistune is to blame

The tuner had to change the values in the Nistune software to get it working (more accurately, switching at correct rpm) again after changing from a PFC.

Beats me what the settings were before and after but it didn't seem to switch at 1500rpm but more like 3000rpm using the default settings for a neo.

VTC TP cut value was changed from 56 to 38. I am not sure if there was another issue.

does VCT make that much of a difference?

had an issue with my VCT when activated, would make a grinding noise? (according to my tuner that is) so he deactivated it.

stumped to why it would make the noise tho.

im running without VCT atm and its fine.

no issues at all.

ive been told without VCT you lose some power, havent seen any dyno graphs to confirm this tho lol

Yeah i say try fix it, it is definitely noticeable once you get it back.

Might as well whore a picture for you, this was a recent tune on my R33. We were trying to find the best place to have it switch off, tuned it all the way with it on, then all the way off to see where the curves intersect. Run out of fuelpump hence why they dont meet in this curve :P

As you can see there is a substantial difference!

But, once the fuel was sorted, in my case it seemed to make the most difference in torque and power switching off at 4900rpm.

The other thing we changed was, we set it so it wont turn on untill the ECT is above 50'C. Cos when the car was idling it would click on and off and f**k with the AFR's and ignition. Im unsure if the stock ECU does a temperature activation too? Im guessing it might seeing as its oil operated?

Stock Neo ECU needs to see 70deg to enable VCT.

Ah! Good to know. In that case i might up my setting 10-20'C too.

I just had another thought, i dont know why it popped into my head, but is the NEO VCT infinitely adjustable? Kind of like the IVTEC in K20a Hondas?

Like with the R33, its just on and off. No other variables. But for some reason im thinking the NEO VCT is also load sensitive too? Or have i got it mixed up with something else?

Soooo noone actually has any idea what the problem could be? Example im thinking stock ecu but not sure anyone can shed some light?

Suggestions were made, you have offered no further input

Also, my crystal ball stopped working last week

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
