Since you are new I will cut you a break, but please in future before posting a new thread use the search function - this topic has been covered dozens of time before.

Easiest way to do it is disconnect your battery and pump the brake pedal 10 times. Or leave the battery disconnected overnight.

^^ this method did not work on my 2005 V35.. I am assuming the OP wants to clear the self learn data, which will need consult or a datascan tool (not sure if there is a manual procedure for this?)

Doubt you will notice any difference, unless a faulty sensor has been messing up the data previously.

maybe removing the battery works for earlier ECUs??

pv35gt8 he never mentioned anything about fault codes .... read the topic content before you post ....

And sonicii in my 03 coupe it most definitely does work - I can feel the difference and see the fuel economy difference when I reset my ECU. Why else would they tell you in the installation instructions of things like the Kinetix upper plenum to reset the ECU via this method after fitting the upper plenum to see results? Maybe the series II ECU is different, but I can't imagine for a second the cars auto tune saves to flash.

It should work. It worked on my 2001 VQ25det Stagea and still works on my 2004 VQ35de Stagea (basically an AWD Series 2 V35... with a nicer nose/body :P).

Perhaps your timing was a little out. It can be easy to miss-time.

You need to retrieve the fault codes and clear them before you initiate a relearn.

Simply disconnecting the battery and letting the system completely drain any residual power will not reset the ECU.

Sorry, you managed to slip your last post in just before I hit send. I meant the disconnecting the battery method didn't work for me.

It probably is a good idea to clear this data when making any significant changes. But I reset mine a couple of months back and reduced my fuel economy for a while.

Where the hell is Suriname anyway?

South America, like North East. Google FTW. Was going to say "Hola", but then wiki says they speak Dutch :(

+1

You car doesn't magically lose its ECU coding when there isn't a battery connected, so it ain't going to lose the self learn. Pump zee pedal, or get a program that works, like Cipher.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
