Walked in, walked out $550 poorer.

I now have new bonnet/hood insulation 😂

Amayama couldn't source one, Kudos couldn't either, even tried EFI Solutions but somehow Skyline Spares could so yeah, sent it and bought it.

This is more expensive than a coacine addiction.

Different than 33 GTR right ? Also try JP car parts for stuff. They've sourced things for me Amayama hasn't been able to get or said was discontinued.

It is a bit different, however both are same same in what they do and how they mount.

I haven't even opened the box yet, just added to my parts museum to install one day :D 

 

I must admit, I didn't really try very hard to locate it - but thanks for the tip with JP Car Parts, will try them next time I need more replacement parts for the shit box.

One sensor issues at a time, worked out why my oil temp was reading out of whack.

Turns out when you run a temperature sensors on a SP Input instead of an AV Input the internal pull up is 10k Ohms not 1k Ohms. This means the standard calibration table cannot be used and needs to be offset.

Haltech did supply me a new calibration table to suit, however advised that the resolution will be reduced.

To fix this small issue, I decided to move the EMAP input to SPI2 and move the Oil Temp input to AVI10 (didn't do this initially as I used the OEM power steering input and pinned it to the OEM AFM and it all sat on the main 24 pins connector).

Instead of cutting, crimping and shrinking I decided to swap it on the ECU side AMP plugs. How good are these AMP plugs? No need for any fancy thin depin tools, etc.? Anyhow was a 5 minute job and hello full range and full resolution oil temperature.

Actually, be really careful with depinning those AMP connectors....I find them an absolute arsehole to work with. The tabs on the locking cap break easily then you are left with a connector that is almost impossible to seat back in properly locked. I ended up buy 2 new ones out of the US (Haltech would not supply) for a fortune.

Also, they are very fiddly with seating the pins at the right depth, initially is OK but if you repin something you have to make sure every wire is still seated properly as they can back out. Pretty much every other style of connector I've worked with is easier, except for those POS pull through ones like in the pressure senders.

*edit* cancel the locking clip rant, that is a different type of AMP lock they used on the smartwire. The one in your pic looks much better (maybe they redesigned after issues)

You're probably thinking of this style of Tyco connectors, these are a complete cnut to get right as per your experiences.

The other end to the plug and play adaptor uses these and yes, I've ended up just wiring direct to ECU instead and bypassing them as they're a cnut to work with 😂

yeah those are have a crappy lock too, but I meant these ones

Same pins and similar body to what you have but the red piece does the locking and is brittle. PITA.

Deutsch is the ones when you have a choice, even their big multi pin connectors are great to work with. Expensive tho.

I know that plug, great to build once and never look at again lol.

Yes I also hate, and have replaced the entire auxiliary connector before. Depinning it a nightmare.

Cutting and recrimping is easier, that's saying something!

I thought you were coming down to wire and tune????

I barely have time to sleep these days, let alone work on race cars that are 2000km away lol

Found a few minutes spare today, turns out they sold me a GT-R one.

Good enough, just 1x clip hole doesn't like up. I have the option of punching a new hole OR drilling one. Still a bit undecided on what path to take but I'll do it one year.

GTR DNA

 

thats it boys. pack it up.

Nah failed at that one, has a twin scroll single turbo and has VCT.

Needs no VCT, twin turbos for the lags.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
