Only when i first got it tuned, he wasn't to sure on why it was doing it. Told me to speak to Nistune, who told me to do the boost sensor.

I'll give him a call shortly, there is one tuner down this way, going to see if he happens to have Nistune software.

Just thought i'd add some info to this for future reference and people searching.

I still have not fixed the limiter issue, i broke the gearbox so thats getting fixed now haha.

But i plumbed the sensor in as i posted, and fuel economy is WAY better, drove 120km return to and from the track (home with a g/box stuck in 3rd) and around 30-40 laps of the track and only used 1/2 a tank, i used to get 230klm's to a tank before i hooked the sensor up.

So it does not affect af/r under power, mainly under cruise. Massive difference.

Neo ECUs use a volumetric efficiency table in addition to the normal fuel map. Matt from Nistune has only recently worked out that the X axis for the VE isn't simply TP load like eveyone previously thought, and there seems to be a lot of logic around whether the VE map is activated to control mixtures or whether the ECU falls back to the fuel map. Closed loop flag is raised across the whole fuel map, you can't control whether it is on or off, but the ECU is clearly able to switch itself in and out of closed loop. It is therefore quite possible that the boost sensor might be part of the logic as to when and why it runs in closed loop (and hence why you're getting better economy with it connected).

I think if we are really forced to keep the boost sensor connected, we're going to end up running a bleeder T on them just like a boost controller. Bleed off some boost and limit how high the sensor reads. Still reads vacuum, job done. Having said that, the sensor is connected to the crossover pipe, so should never see vacuum. Should only ever see slight vacuum + boost.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
