Hey guys,

Have a few question about the torque gauge in the din pocket? It never seems to do anything? I am wondering if it is not working like when should it come on? when i am doing what and where??

Why such the shit fuel consumption, $100 at the petrol station and only 400km a week. this car is making me need to take out a loan to afford it, haha lucky the government pays for it :) I understand they are a turbo car and all that, but my 300zx twin turbo 3L has a similar tank size and gets and extra 250km plus on fuel, haha better of using that as a daily... Pitty its a show/track car!

Also i have a 2003 M35 i am wondering what standard boost these are running in them from factory? I have not put a boost gauge in to see yet, and unsure what 1bar is?

I have put a Front Mount inter-cooler, and also a 3" dump with a straight through 3" exhaust system the whole way, I am wondering if i should boost it up at all to support the mods or leave it fine, still needs a tune with the supporting mods and was going to see if i boost it up at the same time? Anyone else in this experience please let me know what you have done and also this car is used as a daily driver.

Regards

Matthew

I'm assuming our attessa is the same as gtr. They won't give a dash light if there is a little air in the system and it won't show front split on the gauge due to it. It only gives a light when there is a lot of air in it.

Standard boost isn't 1bar either, it's 13PSI on an RS/RX and ~15PSI on an AR-X/AXIS I believe.

Matt, did you try locking the diffs? That always shows torque being driven to the front wheels when I do it.

Other than that mine never moved until I did the exhaust, and now it always dances around corners :devil:

But still no movement in a straight line, unless I lock them.

That's really strange, mine rockets straight up in straight lines but around corners it's glued to the 0.

It's quite an interesting system; on one of my local roads, a constant radius left, there's a dip, then a rise right after.

When going 80km/h and above; the gauge flicks right to the top just as the car goes over the rise. No loss of traction, but it's obviously semi-predictive. In the wet, I'm sure you could slide the car sideways over the rise; as it unloads the suspension.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
