Issue with tune

So for a while ive noticed a lag in the motors response after changing gears and i started watching the hand controller to see whats up. I noticed that the timing drops out significantly before going back. Like im talking it sits around mid high 30s then ill shift gears and accelerate like normal and itll start in the high 20s then drop to like 13degs.. sometimes 8 then instantly back up to 33+. I want to know why? how do i fix this? why the hell is it even doing that in the first place??

I just want it to not drop timing just coz i shifted a gear. Who wants it at 8 degrees then instantly jumping into the mid 30s?? makes the car unresponsive for that split second and it gets annoying. If its normal then no worries but ive never driven a car that does that, and ive had a shit load of em so far... I found this to be quite unusual. The car also maxes out the afm at high boost.. but without the power to back it up lol 5.1v on z32.. with only 280rwkw.. i feel like something isnt quite right with the whole thing.

Is that at full throttle, or just cruising around?   What fuel?  Those are BIG timing numbers if it's on boost. If thats cruising then that sounds like some real messy mapping or the remote possibility of a boost leak if it's transitioning onto boost, perhaps knock control?

 

Very hard to speculate with so little info but sounds a bit off.

Light cruising. So just like taking off at lights and just switching gears in proper cruise mode. At full boost it doesnt do that. Doesnt run much timing from base. like 17-18 i think but otherwise nah just light cruising. Its fkd. Makes the car shitty to drive coz of it and the fuel econo sucks big time. Ive asked the tuners and they were like thats just how it is. Pretty sure its not how it is. Running 98, highest knock value while cruising is around 4. on boost its about 20-30. Seems real conservative. 

 

Also no bov, no leaks that i can find. Tuners either. Wil be going to a new tuner though to check out the map and see whats up with the boost. It shouldnt be maxing the afm while making no power. Makes no sense.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
