WEEKEND UPDATE!

scotty had to remove and weld up my throttle body/afm, where the iacv valve should be. i will get him to barb it in the future so i can remote mount it.

all this was required to fit the euro spec top feed micra fuel rail. (its from the same engine, just a 10 year on updated coilpack version)

we then added various o-rings and shiz (scotty is a genius at this, i wouldnt have known where to start)

370cc neo/stagea injectors installed!

i then spent freaking ages trying to get a 33gtr pump installed in the stock cradle. eventualled managed to get it in there with a slight change in where it picks up from......

tank was drained of dino fuel and replaced with 20 litres of e85.......

i then pulled out my shiny new nistune fitted ecu. installed it, and primed the pump a few times. we found a small leak at the fpr, and just found it wasnt seated properly. scottty bent some welding wire and inserted it, holding the fpr down and leak be gone!

guess what.

it works.

took it for a couple of laps around the estate and it works fine, even getting some boost down very very low, so i have to be careful.

she is ready to be tuned!

apart from one small tiny thing.

the pick up location of the fuel pump no means if i go round a right hand corner with less than half a tank, it stutters hahah!

we filled her up with e85 and i went for another spin. shes fine. will drain the tank at a later date and rotate the pickup.

nistune, added 30% more fuel across the range to allow me to use e85 to get there. the car is running hella rich, but drives fantastic.

really looking forward to friday';s results.

next on the agenda is to finish the swift gti seats install. they are slightly higher up than the micra seats, but this is fine for now. will head over to finish welding the passenger on thursday and pick the car up for the tune.

f**k. yea.

literally the stock ecu with a daughter board attached to allow tuning of factory maps.

sure it doenst have duel maps, and the features of all the other options, but its the cheapest, and thats what matters! haha!

what do you run on the pulsar?!

yeah thats what I thought. good jerb

was just curious as pulsar version of nistune is just a daughterboard. its cheap, easy and effective for what you need for +T. however apparently skyline version is $$$.

(I have powerfc but know heaps of turbo and VVL pulsars on nistune)

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
