Ah yes indeed we do. And conveniently, there is also a open speed limit section also.

In that case, might have to move on the nistune to someone with access to a tuner or the software

We pulled 3 degrees timing out of entire base map apart from the first 2 rows. Roughly how much fuel needs to be pulled out to get in running a bit cleaner?

I can get another power fc map from another car here with similar mods, just more boost than I plan to run, for comparison but it's a d-jetro version and mine is l-jetro, will that matter?

For wideband, what's the best way to go? I don't want a permanent gauge in my car but want to be able to hook up to data logit so we can set target afr's and tune to them. Can I turn o2 feedback off and put a wideband sensor in one of the stock locations or should I have a bung welded into a decat pipe?

The load scale in a MAP based ECU and the load scale in an AFM based ECU bear no relationship to one another. So the short answer to you rquestion ref using a D-Jetro map in yours in, no.

The clue is in the square root relationship between pressure and flow.

power fc = fail

15 year old ECU for your car.. no knock sensing except for dicky warning light you won't see. good luck.

you should support an aussie company and buy an adaptronic or a haltech. much better products, engine protection functions that go into limp mode if your fuel pump fails etc. not like a PFC that will happily grenade your engine if you don't see the light in time.

And for those knocking the power fc, I live in Alice Springs and nobody tunes anything out here. One guy has data logit so I am forced to utilize what's available.

I would love to run a more modern ecu, however the cost of sending the car away for tuning would cost more than the ecu itself, then have to pay for tuning on top. Even if I could fly someone here it would be cheaper than sending the car away, but there isn't access to a dyno here so everything has to be road tuned. On top of this, I don't have any of the equipment to tune it myself, not do I feel confident enough to start. Literally stuck between the rock and a hard place.

If you can tune a PowerFC successfully you can tune anything.

Adaptronic, Haltech, ViPec, Megasquirt - > all don't need fancy boxes and you don't need fancy licenses.. just plug up yoru USB and off you go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
