I realized after I tested it that I used 1M ohm that was meant for the z32 ecu and then saw in the write up on here that it was supposed to be 500k ohm. My next question is even with the 1M ohm it idled fine at lower temperatures. It didn't start running rich until it was warmed up. Do the knock maps not activate until the engine has reached a certain temperature?

Nissan ecu's do weird things to play with our heads.

Agreed on that!!!

That's a ridiculously good price for an rb25det power fc, almost wanna buy it!

Yeah I was saying that the ECU's are sensetive and little changes can make them go crazy. And I was also getting at the fact that putting resistors in place of the knock sensors may be causing problems. Either plug them directly into the knock sensors or run nothing at all, but your computer will always see knock = 0

Doesnt exactly work that way

Unplugged will have extremely high resistance as its open loop circuit.

Plugged in if the knock sensor is faulty will give an abnormal reading also.

The ecu needs to see ~517kohm resistance otherwise it will think there is knock or a faulty sensor and trigger a safe mode or

Oh I thought they always went off frequency and putting a resistor in wouldnt work.....

Well I take it back then lol

I did check the resistance on the knock sensors and they were around 500K without the car running. I have no idea what they are reading when it is running. Hopefully my Nistune board will come in the next few days and I can confirm that it is going into the limp home map.

Actually, they are just piezo microphones essentially, and send a frequency signal to the ECU. The ECU has a whole section (was a whole daughterboard on the Type 2 ECUs like R32) for decoding the signal received and deciding if it is knock or not.

Ok thanks. Yes the type 2 boards have a knock board. Are u 100% sure that they out put a frequency on all the nissan knock sensors? I have not researched this

either way if he is getting a nistune it should help the problem.

To OP, what sort of fuel is available over there? perhaps that has something to do with it as well? I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Nth American fuel is not overly fantastic. Perhaps the combination of the mods and a poor octane rated fuel is causing the problems.

Just a thought anyway. Nistune should be a goer

I'm using close to the equivalent of 98 RON. I got my Nistune license today and the board was shipped out so hopefully I get it by the weekend. I also found a thread by wlspn and he was producing the same injector times that I was at idle. I sent him a pm and his setup was almost the same as mine but he was using a larger turbo. I'm pretty confident that it is going into limp mode and maybe the Nistune can identify the problem so I can fix it or change the tune if need be.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
