so had the 31 clubs dyno day today down at boostin oz in salisbury.

was an awesome day.

laurel performed well and pretty much on par with what i was expecting.

made 167.7rwkw on the first run and then 167.6 on the second. afr's are out to the shit house. rich/lean/rich/lean haha.

finally found an r32 ecu which i recieved today, so will be gettin nistuned this week then off to boostworx for a remap. hopefully can push up near 200.

will have some pics and vids up soon once they upload

yes as nick as stated all a31/c33 ecu's are poo for tunning/power , they basicly have a heart beat of lean AFR's which do them no good when its time to tune/ make more power, i even noticed nearly all hunting issues gone and a smoother run once i ran a r32 ecu in, credits to trent at checkered tunning for giving me the heads up :thumbsup:

note, pretty sure i stated the same thing in this very thread, fail! for not listening to my online gospel preaching :merli:

lol yeah you said not to bother tuning the laurel ecu.

and so i havent. just didnt realise there was a difference in tune from standard plus i was bein lazy :P

but it is good to know and will be in tomorrow night and nistune on thursday. then hopefully only a couple weeks till full remap :)

ok new ecu is in. havent driven it. apparently its out of a late model 32

part number is mec-r212

instantly seems better. started the car up and the idle is 100% better then with the laurel ecu.

nistune will be installed this week some time. and tune soon

i believe its actually an mec-r212b

on the case it has mec-r212 in one box and then next to it is a b and then in the next box 2703

according to matt (guy who made nistune) it will be fine.

i have just taken it for a decent drive. did about 60ks.

seems fine idle is great, revs smoothly. and fuel consumption seems better already.

tryin to upload pic of the ecu itself but phone is bein a moron

ok pics.

judging by the writing on it in the second pic its come from a wrecker at some point. so im assuming its the right thing...

either way accordin to matt even if its a non turbo computer for all intentions its exactly the same. once the turbo map is put on it itll be just like a stock 20det ecu.

so i decided that "a little elbow grease" was way to hard.

yesturday i bought a buff pad that is for a drill, bought my drill home from work this morning and went at one of the wheels with it along with some liquid autosol.

results are awesome.

this is after about 10mins. only done the spokes, 90% of the water marks are gone.

once i get the spokes out of the barrels ill go over it properly along with the rim.

id brought what i thought were the appropriate sized socket and spanner home... turns out volk uses 10mm bolt heads and 10mm nuts.

where as work uses 8mm bolt heads and 12mm nuts. haha

this hasnt actually discoloured as you can tell from the previous pic. im assuming its the reflection from my high vis orange work shirt haha.

here is an untouch wheel for reference.

anyone got any ideas on how to get the bolts all shiny again? i was thinkin just soak them in a light acid. they destroyed the buff pad i was usin. and cbf doin it by hand.

alternatively thinkin about paintin them black for some contrast?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
