hey everyone, love the site.

allright well, i have a vs calais that i am putting an rb25det into, bought my donor skyline (r33) last week,

was thinking ill take the engine out and sell the stuff off the skyline to hopefully make the money i spent back on it.

just had a couple questions,

1# what is everyones opinions on a quality aftermarket ecu, the car is a manual, has 290rwkw for now.

it still has stock nissan ecu.

2# would 1000cc injectors be good for around 300-350kw?? or would an upgrade be in order and if so at what power would it be worth changing them over.

3# what would the problem be if when i start the skyline it starts blowing out light smoke from the oil catch can?

4# and would anyone know if i could use a vl manual front half of the tailshaft and have the original vs rear part?

anyone that has done this to a vs would love to talk, or even if someone could send me a link to someone thats done it would be a great help.

and by the way i dont need anyone telling me to ditch the commodore and keep the skyline, have alot of love for my calais and its very neat to.

cheers guys...

welcome.

ok, ecus are all preference.

talk the guy youre going to tune the car, and find what they like.

most will have a preference, and get better results out of that.

im very happy with my haltech.

1000cc will be fine for that power level, but may run out up top if using e85.

smoke from catch can, could be worn rings/bores.

but, going for 350, if the engine isnt sound, youll find our soon enough.

bloody hell, a reply that quickly i think i could really become attached to this website, back when i had my supercharged commodore i joined l67torque knowone ever replied.

thanks for your help mate, what type of haltech is yours.

and you wouldnt happen to know anyone on here thats put a rb25 into a vs by any chance??

I have the platinum pro plug in.

I repky fast, because I have no life :(

but srsly, alot of people around here like cars in general, not just skylines.

so, the community is generally accepting.

dont know anyone who has done this conversion, but have seen it done.

there is a member on here by tje user name captain natro, he has done an ls1 into an r33....

Welcome, your Calais looks awesome in that photo. Love the wheels/tyres and the tone of blue paint. There is a VR/VS wagon getting around with a Toyota V8 in it. Sounds great. LS1 conversions have a lot of off the shelf parts which makes them less of a headache but I guess you have your reasons choosing an RB25 to power your Calais. Good luck with it!

that was an awesome thread luke, cheers for that. love the ls series, makes me miss my maloo ute:(

thanks loach, aprreciate it. yeah i would like an ls1 but i would need a pretty deep pocket which unfortunatly i dont, where as the rb practically a bolt in job, and the engine i have allready has 290rwkw which quite frankly ill be happy with:)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
