Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Ok I just went out n reduced all the acceleration pump settings in first column by 1.5 ms and increased decay time by 1, didnt make any difference to the bogging down on downshifts under load, sudden throttle input felt sharper I think, or maybe its my mind creating an illusion..

Sorry cant do mate, it wont help anyway, you have to be in car to feel it, and well the map tracer cells jump more than 5-6 cells down when it (bogging down losing power)happens, literally leaps downwards

If it's dropping that hard it could be a mixture of TPS and AFM issues.

You really need a data logit kit connected to it.

There are many variables you need to look at which you're unable to do via the PowerFC controller alone.

Best to bring it back to the tuner or like I recommended get your hands on a data logit kit and post up your logs

haha..thats even harder - to find a datalogit kit for temp use. Only option is take it back to tuner..and get the same excuse that they couldnt find anything wrong/ didnt do anything to car.. you really think TPS could be an issue? - it does show varying voltage with varying pedal pressing, and is always within its usual voltage range..0.4- 4V or something, so thinking its alrite;

As far as I know, the only sensors that affect AF ratios are: CAS, AFM, TPS, O2 sensor, Coolant Temp sensor to ECU, MAP sensor - and probably in that order of importance. Probably in my case with PowerFC as some have said the O2 (switched off) and MAP sensor has almost bugger all effect.

More of this coming this weekend - a more thorough test with a good 25-30psi in - hoping to find some leaks. Stay tuned.. Sorry bloody images got oriented wrong..

considering the jump in cells i'd say either tps or afm. CAS does not directly affect a/f ratios....its governs spark.

its cheap and easy enough to change tps...i'd start there.

another consideration is maf reversion.

Yep - stock BOV is already blocked with a coke can plate to rule that out.. :). Something else I must mention, the idle goes 200rpms higher with the headlights switched off and lower with it switched on - alternator maybe, the belts checked tight enough - not sure if this issue is even relevant but. And TPS voltage is actually 0.41V at idle - might need 0.45V judging by other threads.

All this hunting around for a solution- my problem could even be a bad ground. Something that has been on the back of my mind. Any common ground problem areas/ which areas should I look for?

It can still get reversion with the BOV blocked, when you shut the throttle the air built up by the turbo has to go somewhere and with no where else to go it goes backwards through the turbo to the AFM

That could also be causing and increasing the hesitation between gears

fuarkkkkkkkkk

how have you wired your Z32?

Did you earth 1x cable to the chassis and 1x earth into the ECU?

If so.. there's one of your problem :)

both earths into the ECU (regardless whatever the interwebs says)

had the same issue with a S15.. each time the headlights were on.. the TP Load would increase as if there was more air going into the motor and AFRs dropped 1/2 a point... turns out with some hardcore googling.. DVS JEZ (legend) suggested to earth both together and into the ECU..

guess what? that solved the issue.

(yes I do tuning for fun).

Nope both wires joined together and onto ECU as per SAU tutorial. I was actually thinking of wiring one to chasis but decided no go. By bad ground I mean check the earths from ECU, battery and other problem spots, clean metal, sand-papered joints etc. Think I'm goin to perfect my TPS adjustment to 0.45V instead of 0.41V, idle is 200-300rpms higher with O2 feedback off. Do u also have to disconnect the O2 plug, mine isnt?

Disconnect your idle control valve disconnect your TPS disconnect your AAC then adjust the idle screw till its sitting flat bang at the idle prescribed by your PowerFC then plug everything back in

Put up a new list of everything you have changed and checked. 6 pgs is a lot to read through.

Have you tried a recirc bov just for the hell of it? The symptoms you described. under load in a high gear, then changing to a lower one would make the power loss from over fuelling more pronounced.

If you blocked off the bovs after the tune then this advice is spot on. So make a list of what have you changed after the tune would be a good start. I can't believe a tuner would let a car out like this.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
