ok well.... today was tune day was half bad and half good dropped the car in there at 8 brad is super easy to talk to and explains everything about how he is gonna do it as its my first car that I've had on a dyno left it with him and went back to see how things was going looked at the dyno screen and seen big numbers 270 280 288 was thinking the best he then explains to me that there is problems with the ecu (last thing i wanted to hear) problems being that the ecu must have a bad earth and is making the air fuel mix jump and the water temp is jumping all over the place and tps sensor is not hooked up or not working these combined is making it hard to tune up top and i have a miss that is made by old spark plugs and and shit yellow jacket coil packs i have stock ones that im going to swap back in and have new plugs that tuner has gapped and once i have got my mate to fix the wiring its back to the dyno for more power!!!

just driving it tho its already like a new car amazing power and idle is now perfect with a awesome sound as the tuner said its fine to drive around and to boost is fine but not to thrash it or track as it could end in a big bang

so fix issues and back to finish tune :)

Yeah it is and the power is actually scary to me as I've never had anything close to this much power and every one Tells me there gonna be more once its finished cant wait haha... But yeah the ecu is a bit complecated as it uses the stock computer to power basic things like the fuel pump relay and other relays so its gonna be a test each wire job I'm lucky I have a mate that is a auto elec so he knows what's going on and should be able to solve the problem!!

talking to my mate the auto elec and explained it abit more as im running a map sensor not a air flow meter i require a air temp sensor that is missing!! for some unknown reason and with out it can make the motor lean out install one of them save my motor from going bang!! fix gitter on other sensors mad by bad earth and we are back on track just shows how wiring and simple earth plays such a huge roll!!

Yeah spell check trying to ruin my life haha.. Yeah mate done a 286kw run but the ecu playing up was abit all over the place will go back on in a week or so once the ecu is fixed and see how much it can really do!!

18psi im happy with it tuner said it done it easy no timing in it and only a basic tune and had coil packs braking down up top so that wouldn't help keen ti see what it will do round 2!!

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number?

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
