Tyres diff all same, stock ecu and nistune I was doing 100km/h in 5th at 3000rpms, PFC now I'm doing 2600rpms -normal motorway cruising. And no gay 22" rims, running 18" RAYs wheels

so how do I know what tyres you have............

If it's 2600 vs 3000, then at 7000 indicated it should be really revving to 8000, if the error remains linear.

The tacho (whether in the ECU or at the tacho itself) is a pulse counter. There is no "voltage" to get wrong. If it's counting pulse wrongly at the ECU, then that doesn't bode well for all sorts of things. After all....the whole point of the ECU is to know exactly how fast the engine is turning over, no?

I would be looking into this problem as a matter of some concern. Do not sweep under the carpet.

i guess i offered that as a way he could check his speedo/rpm gauge calibration...what are you the f**kin forum police?

Settle down Bro! Are you having a bad day?

I guess I didn't guess that by your post.

Going on to the dyno to check it would be an option,, as would using an automotive multimeter with tacho function to compare stock gauge (you could buy a multimeter instead of paying for the dyno hire)

But that's not really the issue. The fact that it changed by only changing ecu implies to me that there might be a problem.

my speedo is currently having problems...i fix it by bashing it(not recommended..breaks windscreen).....mine doesn't like going above 60km/h until its warmed up...but i'm curious as to wether its his RPM or speedo that is incorrect....the speedo drive/sender is off the gearbox right? and the rpm is signal. It could be just a coincidence that it happened when ecu's changed?

I'm not guessing wildly

Are you a mechanic superben ?

Do you even work on cars your self or just pay people to do the work

Is has been proven time and time again larger cams than std always shift the powerband higher on any car

Yes you will gain power up top but is it worth the loss down low which is up to owner and driving style choice and purpose

Yes you can get the manifold runners tapped and check the egt and engine backpressure under load on the dyno to confirm but the price to get that all done you could have gone to a new rear housing but do as you like it's your money and time

Yes I do ALL of the work on my car . Amongst other things I wired up the ls coils, put the rb30 bottom end in, do all tuning and recently put some type b cams in. Not that that is particularly relevant.

You are guessing as to how much the power band will shift. Typically better cams will have more lift which will create more flow all over and therfore increase power in all parts of the Rev range, making the shift to the right not as bad as you would imagine.

Have you put in cams? Not that I care.

Yes I've replaced plenty of cams and a mechanic by trade so work on cars day in day out

I ve driven a few cars before and after performance cams are fitted and yes you won't notice the power loss if you have a heavy foot and drive in the powerband of the new cams everyday but most people just give it a squirt here and there and ain't alway revving above 4000rpm

dailying it and cruising will be where you feel and notice the power loss downlow between std cams and performace cams

Ok. As per any mod it comes down to personal situation and preference.

Just to clarify it is the duration that shifts the power band.

The extra lift increases flow all over.

I was saying you were guessing at the 50kw loss at 4000rpm. I wasn't arguing the potential of a loss somewhere.

I also changed turbo, and put on water injection, at the same time as the cams so can't make a direct comparison on the loss, but for reference from an older thread

my car has a different turbo setup but thought i would gilve ,my 2 cents,

found with stock cams my car was making 321awkw and then with poncams 260 9.15's went up to 344awkw, boost was came on sooner with more midrange and topend torque/power, was quite happy with the results,

will be good to see the setups you guys have and see the differences in power with/without cams,

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
