Hey guys, 
 

Just got myself a '93 R33 GTST and gave it a bit in first and second and noticed there was a fuel cut at about 5800rpm. The owner claims that it was dyno tuned this way to prevent the motor blowing up. Was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this or was this just a tune that maxes it's injectors duty cycle at this rpm. Only does it in first and second gear, the rest are fine. 

Cheers

f**k it off. Get a proper ECU.

But even with that advice, the problem could be coming from a sensor. We can't fault find this sort of crap across the 'net very easily.

Righto. Was asking if it was a common thing tuners added in - not a solution as to how to fix it. Cheers. 

Mines ECUs are just a remap into an EEPROM in a factory ECU. They are not "tuneable". They come with the Mines tune in them, and that's it. And the tune is shit. And they are a bad idea. And how would we know if their stupidity included fuel or ignition cuts at 5800rpm in 1st and 2nd only (remembering that it is actually impossible to implement "per gear" cuts like that on factory Nissan ECUs, as they do not know what gear they're in anyway!)?

Good to know. I'll look at getting a new ECU at some time in the future.

Also could be tacho not being accurate, but a mines ecu is a bin job regardless

Yeah, I only just got the car last week - new ECU is probably high on the list of new things to get. Cheers mate.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
