Glad to see this is resolved, I have been watching with great interest.

Today I was having a think and felt worried about the issue occurring on more peoples cars than we would like, and ultimate I came to the conclusion that we are a little stuck when we go for poverty pack Nistune boards.

I am just wondering and thinking aloud, has anyone ever tried to run a different trigger system on their Nistune? Such as a crank trigger or similar? I would REALLY like to know if this is at all possible. Perhaps a call to the Nistune dude in SA is necessary, as I am sure something simple can be written into the code.

Trent and I were discussing this very topic yesterday after seeing the fault first hand. We agreed the later (VQ etc) motors using a flywheel based trigger with a large trigger wheel behind the starter teeth was a much better idea, as the larger the wheel, the easier it is to pick up the trigger magnetically, hence less noise. Not sure how hard it would be to make something like that work on the RB flywheel though.

As for the stock cas, the spacing is just too small between the cutouts for a lagging optical sensor to pick up. That said, they are very old by now and most probably require replacement. Any idea how much they sell for new?

I wonder how hard it would be to modify the stock harmonic balancer for a trigger wheel? All it needs is a 24 tooth chain sprocket tapped on to it with one tooth ground down, correct? But you would still require the converter box for the Nistune.

I'm just being funny about the pov pack, its definitely the cheapest option is all. I'd run it over a lot of other aftermarket units, but would rather run a Link or Adaptronic for that matter. Money talks :)

XKLABA do you mind telling me who makes the converter box? Is it also Ross? I agree if the PFC can do it, the Nistune can, too. How do you find it works?

That's a shame the trace didn't show it up? was that using nistune to log it? Perhaps the sample rate isn't fast enough, as you know everything is happening extremely fast!

It doesnt show up in any ecu in the log.

:D Yeah, the ECU doesn't know any more than the CAS is telling it in terms of where the crank position is. The ECU will do it's normal calculation on advance and record that in the log, the best chance of spotting a triggering issue is if the ECU is smart enough to realise it has not recorded a trigger in the period of time it should have and then logged it as a warning.... or if a triggering is bad enough the deviation in the logged rpm "curve" has the potential to get quite conspicuous.

Thanks for the feedback, shame you didn't get to use it with the PFC!

Your welcome, it may end up on the 32 yet, with a 36-2 CAS disc and the PFC if I don't bit the bullit and get an EmTron

Paul had it on his car with the link using the nissan signal before getting the M3 put in, he might be able to shed some light on this

I thought it might have shown up as erratic timing being delivered in the nistune log. Obviously best chioce is using a scope to log it.

One of the joys of paying big money of a ECU is the Syvecs has a built in 1khz oscilloscope, which was instrumental in finding a sensor issue I had with the Ross setup

The two lines on the graph are with filter and without

Shame we didn't test the airbox closed with no filter, just with the lid off and no filter, (mainly as the filter kept popping out on decel.) The filter was dirty, though I suspect the snorkel holds power back a bit. Stao has drilled lots of holes in the lid of his which obviously works.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
