Currently getting the datsun tuned with a vipec plug in and am having a strange issue wit the computer disconnecting at 5500rpm and full throttle. Any thoughts from the brains trust?

Setup is rb28, 272 9.85 camshafts, 2200cc bosch injectors, plugin Vi-pec, 6466 turbo.

yeah i get this sometimes....

electrical interference and usb does NOT mix. and there is nothing you can do about it.

i had to tune a 850hp supra offline because of this, the way i did it was setup offline logging and after the run i would download the log and adjust then save then repeat...

I had no other choice as i only had an hour to tune that car, but there is another option... if you use the serial cable then it should usually fix the issues, i have one that i made a few years ago but it was in my skyline and not available to me at the time.

you can call your vipec dealer and they can order the serial cable for you, then you need a laptop with a 9pin serial port not a usb to serial converted.

ps: i hate usb. serial all the way.

*good news everyone* (dr farnsworth voice)

because i am such a nice guy and not so lazy (not) I decided to do a search and i found a old email from back in 2009 from Ray Hall with the details you need to make your own serial cable.

you gotta change the cable to the CAN port on the board if using a plug in, if using the v44 or v88 you just put the cable on the can port.

good luck

Shielded the spark loom and changed to a different plug. Seems to have fixed the issue of ecu disconnect but we now have a slight missfire at 6000 rpm that sounds subtle. Car is officially giving me the poos.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
