Sounds like a strange problem....

I thought u were changing the ecu?

I am doing the ECU but not just yet, but yeh we have it sorted now.

So after a few hours with DVS Jez this morning, we have swaped AFM (made a little difference but still no boost) we then changed the spark plugs but still no boost, after that Jez hit a light bulb and pulled my ECU out and low and behold it has been flash chipped in japan with some crazy remap it seems. on the dyno the fuel stayed flat through the whole power band and it is supposed to drop off towards the end with the stock ECU's. We then cut the knock sensors off and bypassed them (car was on the dyno a few days ago and timing was adjusted) and put in the coil packs from his drift car and boom, boost was restored, im running it this weekend to test to make sure its fixed and on Monday/Tuesday putting my parts back in 1 by 1 to see if it fails. But it looks like its the coil packs or the knock sensor that was the issue.

My money is on the Knock sensor because when we ran the diagnostic on the road the timing was going from around 25 to 13 when it was supposed to come on boost like it was picking up a knock that was not there so the sensors may be on the way out.

so big thanks to Jez for his time today and finding the issue with this bitch of a car lol.

mat just realised he is a post whore :D

nah ive been pretty flat out with shit lately because emma has had her end of year exams ive been doing EVERYTHING at home.

shes finally finished for the year so i have my own little slave ;)

dont let her hear that though!!

"chop chop, dig dig, chop chop, dig dig."

yea ive been pretty busy, should be on here abit more now though...

trying to get bits for my wheels, talking to some guys in the states that can provide center cap adaptors for my SL's, and center caps, and yellow stickers hopefully. should know in the next couple of days. should look pretty good once finished hopefully!

think this thread is dying, or you guys are actually working hard at work ha

Actually I think it's a comp between you and Benji as to who has the least amount of posts in this thread

Oh and while I think of it does anyone wanna do Xmas drinks sometime in Dec or we all to busy?

nah i came second in the standard rwd class martin. for being a fast mother f**ker! final best time was 1.16.4

i focused all my efforts to 1 lap of pushing the car to its limits on every corner but did f**k up a bit (didnt brake 100% and didnt have the best line on a few corners) could have gotten in the 15s but my skills arent consistent enough yet :(

1st was a s14 with more power, braking, suspension, less weight he got 1.10 or something.

pretty happy with my efforts considering i had a 300kw gtt behind me for a whole session, with brembos gtr seats etc and he could only catch me on the straights, lost him on the other half of the track every lap with my awesome suspension (ay martin hah).

mat got best gtst in show and shine and chookie got lowest of the low award.

ant would have got most look alike to big bird but i think the nitto 34 gtr won that.

hi Ant, can you send me some info on the sl centre caps. i've just about talked myself into buying set :-)

he had everything thing aloud, and i have an exhaust haha.

pft as if martin, i see no results, only talking!

stock for stock a silvia would kick a skylines ass around wakie too cause its such a cornering intensive circuit and they are so light weight and shiiii

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
