Hi SimonR32, when the mixture map is open-the ecu must be online, right click on the map and go to properties and it gives lots of options to only show samples with more meaning, eg. how close to centre of cell, how many samples, throttle rate etc. Its quite accurate when set up. Cheers, Grant.

Hi discopotato03, there are more outputs which may or not be of use to you, the main thing apart from the direct spark is the onboard individual cylinder knock control. Cheers, Grant.

Yeah did all that, ECU doesn't have to be online. You just need a map loaded and a log loaded and it works.

Might be a little bit far off topic, but I've searched without much luck and doesn't seem worth creating a new topic.

Just in the process of wiring my AEM UEGO wideband to an input on my Link G4 plug in so that I can log my AFR's. But the Link doesn't have the AEM in it's list, so just wanted to see if someone can confirm whether I am setting up the calibration table correctly? I believe the AEM uses a linear signal; 0V = 10AFR, 2.5V = 15AFR, and 4.99V = 19.98AFR. That's according to the table in the user manual: http://www.schnitzracing.com/manuals/AEMWBK.pdf

As I understand it, calibration tables 4-6 are the linear tables in PCLink. Looking at cal table 6 which appears to be unused in mine, input value A is 0.00V and input value B is 5.00V. I set the output units to AFR. I am guessing now, that I should set the output value A to 10AFR and output value B to 20AFR? Or should I change input value B to 4.99V and output value B to 19.98V, as per the AEM calibration table? Then after it is connected, I assume I need to make sure the ECU reads the same as the wideband gauge display? And if it doesn't, adjust the cal table to suit, or?

Just wanting to make sure I'm on the right track here.

Hi Hanalado, I would start with a=0v b=4.99 In the lower section would have a=10 b=19.98. After this is done I hold the revs around 1500 and then highlight about six boxes around the current load point using the shift and arrow keys. I then make the numbers larger using the Q key until I get down to 10/1 afr and make sure the ecu reads the same as the aem. Then make the numbers smaller using the A key until you get to 18/1 afr and make sure the numbers match. It should but sometimes you have to alter the numbers a little. If you do change numbers you need to go back to the other extreme and recheck and keep doing that until its right at both extremes. Hope this helps.

Cheers, Grant.

I have a gm 3 bar style map sensor, it tends to read around 100kpa when the engine is off however there are times it is as high as 109kpa and as low as 80kpa. The fluctuation seems to be correlated with engine bay temperature affecting the sensor reading. Is any one running a genuine ac delco (GM) 3 bar map sensor? are you getting consistent readings close to 100kpa? I'm thinking of changing my sensor because this sort of variance can't be good, but no point if the same problem arises.

try replacing the map sensor, or check the wiring. thats not normal.

Hi, I agree with Guilt Toy most likely the sensor, should always read 100-102 kpa when not running in most of Oz. Lots of crappy copies of the Delco sensor. It could be bad earth, wiring ecu etc. but very likely sensor.

Hi guys so I just bought a Link G4 for my R34 GTT. In the instructions it states I need to use the standard MAP sensor & just re-plumb it to a pressure source that reads vacuum & boost.

I was always under the impression they didnt come with MAP sensors. Can anyone confirm that is does & where its located?

Thank you

Are you refering to the Link ecu? If so I can confirm it is not. It states it comes with a MAP sensor IF the car does not have one from factory.

The below is taken straight out of the instruction manual

Nissan Skyline R34 GTS

The Link G4 Nissan R34 Plug-In ECU supports several options for fitting of a MAP sensor. Any one of the

following options can be used:

1. Factory MAP Sensor – The RB25DET factory MAP sensor is suitable for use. It must be re-plumbed to a

pressure source that measures vacuum and boost pressure*. The factory MAP sensor is wired to An Volt

3. The factory sensor is good for 125kPa (18psi) of boost.

2. MAP Sensor Wired Through AFM – To avoid running additional wires into the engine bay, a MAP signal

can be brought in through the AFM signal wires. The AFM is wired to An Volt 1. Refer to factory wiring

manuals for AFM wiring connections. Make sure the AFM can not be reconnected.

3. MAP Via Expansion Connector - The expansion connector provides power, ground, and analogue channels

for the connection of a MAP sensor

The R34 plug-in model doesn't come with an on-board MAP sensor.

Brody, the R34 GTT does have a MAP sensor. It is located at the back of the engine bay, above your brake lines. Like so:

Personally 18psi was never going to be enough, so I just skipped any messing around and bought the expansion harness and a Haltech 3-bar MAP sensor.

Ok so I also bought a boost solenoid so I can control the boost with the ECU. I was told I can simply cut the wiring for the factory boost controller & wire it to the new boost controller.

Has anyone done this before? From memory there are 2 wires that go to the factory boost controller, which one would I use?

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

After much of research I came across this thread.

Basically, I am having issues with my car and it is running rich . I think it is due to the boost pressure sensor or map sensor as some people refer to it .

This is a pic of it as also per earlier post. I got a qoute for a new one and it is £150 UK british pound which seems a lot.

I have seen this thread people mentioning to simply swap it with haltech 3 bar /2 bar. I am planning to do so . is it simply a rewiring and plug an play ?

has anyone done this ?

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
