u got an aftermnarket comp ? coz wolf 3ds take ages to crank ive noticed as part of them, nothing wrong with that, and i *think* my powerfc made mine take 1 or 2 cranks longer, meh, it still starts n purrs perfectly ;)

 

shivam - how much would all dat cost lol ? i mean what would say ice do for a 100k'er' ? anyone know ? i gotta head down there soon anyways to have a chat once my brakes are on the car (tomorrow YAY!) so if noone knows i guess ill enquire down there as the car is at alost 95,000 now which is when i wanna get it done

:cheers:

Yes well all aftermarket comps should not result in the car not starting first time i think it has a lot to do with who installed and tuned it..

Never had any problems with wolf firing first or second crank i guess some people don't put in the extra effort when installnig and setting up aftermarket ecu's.

On that not who cares if it takes 1 or 2 cranks its not a problem just a feature as paul said :D

nah its the stock ecu that came with the car. if i give the car power first, let acc come on for a few seconds then crank it, it seems to start straight away its only when i turn to full crank from no power it doesnt start.

also if and when the car doesnt start first crank the apexi timer lights up with the a/f ratio. normally the apexi timer shows --- for the a/f ratio. go figure

i'm pretty sure the UAS site still has this information listed but just in case it doesn't.

Is there anywhere in Melbourne that can do a service like this? Nissan FTG? Whenever I go to Ice for a service they just say "what would you like done?"

And I say whatever you think, i dont know, and they just do the oil, filter and maybe the plugs. I mean Ice are good, but i cant see them lubricating my door hinges and tightning my suspension and subframe.

  • 1 year later...

Sorry to dig up an old thread... but I have my 100k service and I want to do it proper.

Can you or anyone suggest how much of this would need to be done by a professional, and how much could be done by a noob? And by noob I mean I have changed my oil and oil filter once.

do u know any mechanics that can help u with it should u mess things up? u'll need to get a diagnositc for the electrical side of it, and be able to use one (ie leave it to a pro). things like timing belt and water pump etc u might eb able to do, just read up on it first, do alot of research. and u will need lots of good tools, do u have all the right tools? torque rench/compression tester etc. u done anything like findint TDC and lining up timing marks?

My mechanic is very sick at the moment and won't be able to help for a while. I've been meaning to ask him who I should use in the mean time. My dad used to be really into cars... but that was pre-injection/computers etc so don't know how much he will be able to help.

I should have mentioned the timing belt has already been done, but not the idler or pulley bearings (note I have no idea what these are). That's the only reason I'd need to find TDC right, to do the timing belt?

I have access to a lot of tools (my dad is a toolmaker) and should have use of a hoist shortly. Not sure about compression testing.

I don't mind getting all the tricky stuff done by someone, but I just want to learn a thing or two and save some money. Speaking of which, should I try to get most of the parts myself and supply to the mechanic? E.g. those bearings which I know nothing of are hundreds of dollars for authentic Nissan ones, or under a hundred for NSK equivalent (thread).

What would you suggest for doing research - just reading the forums/net? Or maybe there is a book/manual I could get that would be helpful?

Thanks!

you should probably get these changed.. or checked if possible to make sure there alrite.

I had my timing belt done and didnt get the idle bearing/pulley thingies changed... (as my mechanic never mentioned it or found it important enough to change...) and 2 days later they snapped and belt came off.... had to rebuild engine :D

Yes, make sure you the idler bearings, just as important as the belt. I helped a friend do a service the other week. Pretty big job as far as time go's. From memory was around $600 in parts and that was trade!

A lot of the things there are a bit wanky, we were VERY particular with this car and did everything that NEEDED to be done.

We didn't have any super special tools, the harmonic balancer has marks to line everything up.

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Engine oil

-Oil filter

-Fuel filter

-Idler bearings

-Cam belt

-Spark plugs

-Water and coolent

-Water pump (why not while you are there)

-Cam and crank seals

-Cleaned air filter

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
