Its not a serious question, Its a trick question. Its also a demonstration to show that statements like the above shouldn't be posted unless you know exactly what you are talking about.

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

Anything I post, I make sure I know what I am saying and have some sort of real world relevance as an example.

I don't just bust out comments like "More revs means more inefficiencies due to friction in all the moving parts"

All the parts weigh the same, with more revs they are doing the same work more often. Does this make them or the engine less efficient?

Now I don't know the answer. But do I post it unless I do know the answer. No

Because he is a very experienced tuner, and you are not?

What does tuning have to do with me saying two engines making the same power level will use different amounts of fuel? He even agreed they would use different amounts of fuel, I don't even know why there is a debate.

If we really want to make appeals to authority to justify our claims, then I am the engineer and he is not. Kind of silly isn't it?

and what does BMSP have to do with anything realting to the tuneability of an ECU

lol I think the OP came to a conclusion ages ago.

Hi,

Just to mention:

The Z32 ECU does also switch VTC (or VCT) based on engine load / speed / temperature so a switch based one sole RPM might not be as good.

.

Z32 can control the VCT and it has something else that it can control better, I can't remember but pete from nistune was telling me, might have been something with the knock sensors I can't remember.

But you can easily control the VCT via an MSD window switch or an eboost street (with built in window switch). There is plenty of discussion on the nistune forums and on here regarding the differences if you do a search though. :)

I've heard of people wiring it permanently on because it performs better than off, so I wouldn't be too worried about it say burning out the solenoid or anything.

Know it is fine in my car using a window switch, I just make it turn off below 1.5k so it isn't on all the time.

Having it on constantly would cost you power at higher RPM.

The genuine R33 ECU switches off at around 4600RPM.

I guess a window switch will work fine, though the load triggered activation has a certain appeal to it.

Its mainly people with rb20 ecu's or ones that that dont have any control over the vtc. NIStune have proved

That running the vtc permantly on is alot better for mid to low power/torque but may lose 10 kw at peak power

Still one has to ask himself why did Nissan go through all the hassle of VTC activation if switching it on permanently

just takes off 10KW at the upper band.

(So I don't buy the 10KW)

;)

There are comparison dyno graphs somewhere on here, I know mine added 15kw in the midrange, unsure of top end loss with it stuck on though.

When trying to sell cars the 10kw is a massive thing.

Just like those guys running 290ish kw's that 10kw puts them in the 300's which is huuge just because it has a 3 at the start of it

I will try it with my drift car.

Were also trying another cheap vtc setup which is always on but the turns off above a preset rpm say 5000rpm. This works out alot cheaper and should do exactly what we want

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
