Accommodation being booked tonight, in Munich for Oktoberfest :cheers:

Need to start drinking beer again (pitty i have been working so hard to get rid of this beer belly) so look out schutzenfest!

which is in 1 months today, almost time to start arranging the yearly SAU "responsible drinking" day - due to legal requirements around my liquor license i must 'preach' responsible drinking blah blah blah

Fwiw been doing some fuel consumption 'testing' before the e85 swap. over the last two weeks to and from work (stop start) the results have almost been identical. this weeks results with filling up today were i used 43L of petrol and did 397 Ks. A total of 10.8L per 100kms

Didnt think this was too bad considering the motors not quite stock. By comparison off the governments site a current SS Commodore uses 17.3L per 100, 370Z uses 15.2, Renault Megane Sport 250 uses 11.8

Interesting stuff

Is that with or without an aftermarket ECU right now? Cos that sure seems pretty economical to me. I'm currently getting like 15.5L/100km (320km or so on 50L) on an untuned R34 with 3" exhaust, 10psi - just regular driving around town (It'll get 600km+ on 50L on the highway though). Planning to get it down to get retuned early next year for economy if nothing else. If I could possibly achieve that sort of economy around town I'd be stoked.

Yup, I understand why my fuel economy is poor - stock ECU - and it'll compensate with extra fuel. Which is why I ask if Jap_Star has a stock ECU. I'm guessing not, which gives me hope that I might achieve good fuel economy with a tune :D

If you can't get a Nistune for your ECU Jenna (some R34s you can, some you can't depending on what type/brand ECU is in it), then go an SAFCII. Had one fitted to my R34 with good results, and now have it on my V35. On the 35 the tune made an extra 8rwkw and flattened torque and all curves rather nicely. Obviously having a turbo and running rich you would see much bigger gains.

Yup, I already have a nistune fitted, unfortunately it's just still on the factory maps - I haven't had the $$$ to get it tuned yet.

Plan is to take it to Boostworx or Willall in the new year. Given the 182rwkw I hit on 7psi, with the 10psi actuator now in - I'm hoping with a retune power should jump to low 200rwkw, with better economy. That's the aim/hope anyway. :)

My '34 is finally getting where I want it - few major things left on my list are fitting the nismo 480cc injectors, fitting the HEL oil cooler w/thermostat (sitting in garage), and highflow the turbo (probably MTQ).

Thanks for throwing ideas and help out guys :)

mine went to hell once I fitted the new xforce cat. that little restriction from compliance cat to a full 3" or more from front to back , sent the fuel mapping wonky even after resetting the ECU,need to get my nistune ECU slapped in and tuned. and my actuator installed,

on a side note who down south can work on skylines and you trust , besides nissan and hp in a box, or grand nissan wreckers ? need my new clutch fitted and look at what kind of crap the other mechanic did wrong when they did the timing belt. before it eats it. belt is a gates kevlar racing belt.

does anyone have a Gates/HKS. or non factory belt on factory timing gears ? mine is making a shocking noise like its rubbing randomly , the car does have carbon fiber cover if anyone has issues with the cas not sitting flat because of the cover. the damn drive belts started sqealing this morning too, bunch of farking trained monekys cant even do the belts and hoses without drama

who can be recommended for nistune, dyno tune on the GTT down south preffered? I was told garage 7 ?

Jenna my mate spoke with boostworx the other day and Shaun has a 5k old turbo sitting there he only want $1200 for it you should hit him up

Really wanna stick with an R34/OP6 high-flow if I can - my power goals are only 240-250rwkw. More chance to get through Regency without me needing to change back to a factory turbo .. Do you know what sort of turbo Shaun has?

That's about what I get in my dead stock R33 GTS-T. In regular commuting traffic my fuel economy hovers around 10.5 to 11 ltr/100km, on whatever the pump 98 RON is I get. And that's with a mighty 128rwkW ;D

WILLAL

its a no brainer really, plus club discount

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
