Hi SAU, if anyone in Sydney preferrably close to Parramatta would let me borrow their z32afm (to rule out mine which I think is playing up) I would be most grateful. Its got its pins re-soldered btw.

Problem-maf cells jumping to and utilising wrong map points for 3-5 seconds under downshifts on load as seen on powerfc maptracer- causes massive rich n retard and power drop. This even happens with blocked off stock bov to rule out afm reverberration.

Normal driving in 3rd/4th at 1800-2000rpms is jerky and rough sometimes, idle is rough sometimes. Note that the blocked off bov isnt the problem here as it wasnt running jerky n rough the last few weeks with blocked bov.

Dont think its coilpacks as its fine under high load/rpm and always been-coils are stockies less than a 7 months old.

So would like to borrow someones z32 or CAS if it could be that?

Thanks

Ahk, if its when cruising at those sort of revs or trying to gain speed its likely to be too lean.

Do you have the ability to change values? Give it a bit more fuel between 1500 and 3000.

Yeh got the pfc commander and nope Yavuz has personally been thru it 2-3 times and says theres not anything he can see wrong in the tune, he said to change piping/ relocate afm/ test n report back.

I'm in Liverpool now, can you do.... Sun up? Sunday is ladies day, and she isn't much of a lady if I don't properly spend it with her. Though she's lazy and takes forever to get up so there is a reasonable timeslot.

I am almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. I look simply too big to be allowed, and so wild - long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hides most of my face, I have hands the size of dustbin lids and my feet in their leather boots are like baby dolphins.

I will also be the only dickhead sitting outside an open garage in my driveway at 7 AM.

Have you seen my fix for reversion? I guess you will tomorrow.

Reversion is not caused by the BOV, in fact a bov would help prevent it if done properly. I also don't believe in the pepsi can method, no no no.

Reversion is the AFM reading a signal from what is coming back out of the turbo. So when you shift and your turbo makes that zututu noise that would be causing reversion.

Reversion is most likely to happen when you vary the throttle or throttle off while driving. Especially when under load and then closing the throttle.

What, you want to pick the time??? I thought you wanted to borrow my Z32? Suddenly it seems like I owe you something :P Yeah ok, we can try for afternoon. I cant guarantee I will be able to but I can try.

So what is ur number n address brah? If u can txt me on the number I listed 8-9 posts up when u are free then I can come down. Reversion I thought is from all the air escaping back thru the bov return when u release the throttle..

Lol Darren I don't fit in the S14. Currently considering chopping part of the floor to mount the seat lower.

Furthermore, it was a quote from the first Harry Potter book.

I won't go there on that last bit. I almost need counselling for it.

It does sound like you have reversion issues and the best fix is a plumback bov as far away from the afm the better and closer to the turbo so it doesn't interfere with the afm signal

Also have you read on here of using a r35 gtr afm which idles better and doesn't get affected by reversion as much

Nistune has made a map for it but not sure how it will go with the power fc

Have a search it's on the nistune forums aswell

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
