I still don't get how LC makes any difference to the gear changes. I'm running LC5 and it's no different to my old LC2.

Its a whole different piece of TCM software. Its like upgrading say from Windows 95 to Windows 7. All the clutch engagement ramps for normal driving, shift points, apply pressure maps - everything is different - so there is lots of difference in the gearchanges.

Ok. Driving the car today the shifts seem smoother. No screeching from 2nd to 3rd when a little cold so that's good. Still need to adjust the cc and tp slightly but overall its much better. Smoother and quieter shifting. Well worth the upgrade to NIS-006.

Agree, since you installed LC4 on my car it is very smooth on light throttle take off....old LC? was very jerky.

I installed the 'kb15b lc4 stock' map and the shifts are definitely smoother, most noticeable is that the lurching while de-accelerating has completely gone

I haven't installed any of the launch control maps and am still using my factory vdc-r lc3

Though there are a few changes - lc3 was activated with everything in r mode before the upgrade, but now I can launch with suspension in soft mode and in full auto mode

Seems a bit more aggressive and was able to run a 3.1 0-100 in auto mode with it short shifting 1st. Must have been a fluke or vbox anomaly because I couldn't replicate it - next runs were 3.3 and 3.4 in manual and auto mode again short shifting

Going to stay with lc3 as the 3200rpm launch still gives me far too much wheelspin, and ill wait for Cobb to release user selectable launch rpm

further update

driving to work in stop start traffic was so much smoother, i actually found myself leaving it in auto mode and wasn't getting the lurching changing 1st to 2nd on very small throttle openings. I was very suprised how much it has improved

i have read lc5 software is even better for auto mode and will hold 3rd a bit longer, and that's really all the auto mode is missing

Nissan dealers really should have rolled out some kind of continual software upgrade for existing owners. In fact the r35 is the only car (dc and semi manual) i can think of where i haven't got software upgrades during scheduled servicing

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
