the ABS light is coming up on the dash and we cant figure out why. anyone got any ideas? doing the dyno power run tomorrow so will post the sheet up after work to keep you number guys happy lol. no matter the figure its a different animal than it was :yes: might have to plumb that screamer back in though its f@#!$n noisy!

also did anyone have a funny little aerial on the drivers side dash in their v35? i thought it was something to do with the toll roads but it was conected to lots of little modules and boxes one which contained a brand new brown nissan key that didnt fit my car????? does this have something to do with the abs maybe? beats me.

Just get a scanner and read the diagnostic code. That will lead you in the right direction. When you can achieve full boost very early, I'm not sure a screamer was the right choice. Mines plumbed.

the kit came with the screamer but ill weld it up tomorrow got plenty of tube and flanges handy anyway. not showing any codes thats why im confused. any ideas about that little antenna thingy? it was wired into a lot of different things

Think it might be to do with the security and GPS system in the pop up dash. Just leave it alone. Nothing to do with abs. Abs computer is different to motor ecu, so codes won't come up with the manual process I think. Needs compatible scanner. Otherwise don't worry about it.

Remember you have stock injectors before you go into heroic power attempts...make sure your tuner is monitoring knock.

let the missus drive last night cos i had a few. not a good idea lol whats the best cleaner to use on leather seats???

shes driven my mates boss270 and thought that was a fast car,until last nite never again methinks

interesting to read.that works out to 220kw @ wheels by my calculations.

for comparison, my HKS GTsupercharge'd V35 makes 234kw @ wheels at 7psi max boost.

so, basically similar results whether you go turbo or supercharged in terms of peak power. i wonder how the power deliveries would compare?

what injectors are you running currently?

i suspect your setup will be able to produce more peak power once you sort out the tuning/injectors and whatnot. i guess depends how much boost you want to push taking into account reliability..

its actually 237rwkw but whos counting.

stock injectors at the moment so im not gonna up the boost until i get bigger ones.

im making roughly 18hp for every pound of boost i add but ill sit on it for a while.

the kit was making 270kw@ wheels @9psi on the z it came off but that was a 6m/t

each to his own i guess

i like the fact i can change boost whenever i want and that noone over here has a turbo v (that i know of) while there are a few s/c on Vs and Zs

plus that turbo does whistle nicely

hi all

car is runnin sweet apart from a couple of little issues

1 : cel,slip,and vdc lights wont turn off

i think its because the megasquirt runs the injectors now so gonna wire in some resistors to factory ecu to trick it. tried manual reset but that works until i turn car off again then lights come back once i restart. annoying!

2 : installed an Apexi turbo timer cos its a lazy mans tool so it suits me fine,but,it only seems to work if i drive a short distance. any more than 5kms it wont turn on. is there i setting i can adjust or just swap it for another? also annoying!

1000cc injectors for xmas then a run a 8psi

cheers

1: go and read the error codes and hope to hell they are not for Knock. That will tell you where to go- could be for too rich/ too lean, or misfire, or CAS AFM etc etc.

2: Useless Turbo timer is useless. Turbo is water cooled. As long as you not coming off a racetrack and turning it straight off, there is no point. Easiest thing to go - just don't flog it for the last 5 mins of your journey. Rip it out and sell it to some other bloke.

i also have CEL permanently on - dynoe'd it to make sure no knock/leaning etc when I purchased the car and all good. i cant remember the error code, but i beleive it is to do with the oxygen sensors in the cats - they are very sensitive and as soon as one reads a value outside the normal range (which happens all the time running supercharger with aftermarket ecu,larger injectors, etc) it activates the CEL.

i have also been told this by an official HKS approved worshops in australia who have seen this commonly on super- and turbo-charged VQ's.

not sure what the deal with your slip and vdc lights though..

    • 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?
