Hey guys done a fair bit of searching on this but have been unsuccessful...

R33 gtst series 2 rb25det

Splitfire packs

Apexi pod

Boost tee

FMIC

Stock turbo

Apexi power fc

So guys just had an apexi power fc installed on the 33 and the idle is rough when warm and cold, the cold start seems like it isn't even initiating on startup, when the clutch is in when coming to a full stop the revs drop dangerously low to about 400rpm and there's flat spots throughout the rev range oh and not to mention when I turned the air con off today on the way to work it stalled and then when I started the engine I had to keep the engine revs up or else the engine would shake and try and stall...

I'm not going to name the tuner as I wouldn't want to give them a bad name all I know is that they apparently didn't have the software on their laptops to suit the latest style of apexi units so instead they used the latest hand controller that came with the unit.

I'm sure a lot of the problems are tuning related and need to be fix via a tune but I would rather not pay to have something fixed because of poor tuning on their behalf.

Will a tuner fix their mistakes at their own costs or what? Because I'll be damned if I'm paying for them to fix it

Cheers

Any good place will fix their caused issues. Provided they dont blame the car

They can't blame the car everything is running that smooth as anything prior to the ECU going in even had the car checked mechanically and it's running sound so the tuning is the culprit

Sounds like they suck. If they didn't have the correct software they shouldn't have done a half arse tune. I would doubt they would be able to fix it to an acceptable level anyway. like polishing a turd!

Do you have an atmo BOV?

Those things dont sound to hard to fix, but with an atmo Bov, you may still get some stalling off throttle issues. Shouldnt stall when turning air con on or off. There are settings to prevent this.

Otherwise it might be a problem with your AAC/ICV. I think you can check something in SW/SENSOR CHECK on the power FC hand controller (if you have one)

Check the plugs, maybe adjust the base idle as well

Cheers for the input but it's the factory BOV to be honest I cannot stand the whoosh sound and would rather block it off....

I'm not going to mess with anything and will leave it down to the tuner to fix once they have done that I'll be off to see good old matty spry and get a real tune done

They gave you the car back running like that? Did they mention anything to you about the car running that way?

When i got my car worked on by my tuner, He got me to drive it and he sat in the passenger seat. Everything was fine and we were both happy.

They didn't test drive the vehicle on road but the car was running just fine before it was tuned

The only thing I noticed was the revs dropping very low when I came to a complete stop but it wasn't until the next day when the vehicle was cold that I noticed every little thing shaking and lumpy and hunting idle and then it got really bad one day and kept stalling

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
