I've recorded base map for the R32 RB20DET AP Engineering PowerFC.

For those that are curious check it out.

I will post up the modified map once its tuned to suit the 3ltr.

If any one has done similiar I would be interested to check out the RB25DET base map.

Or if you have an RB30DET I would be very interested in checking out its map.

At first I had an issue with Idle.

I took the car for a drive so it was nice and warm.

Pulled the plug off the AAC.

Set idle to 650rpm.

Connected the AAC plug back up.

Reset the PowerFC and took it through its 30min learn.

10min idle, 10min idle elec load, 10min idle a/c.

I now have a 100% repeatable stable idle. No hunting and no occasional 1100rpm idle when pulling up at the lights.

Hmmm interesting, mine idles great with the AAC plug out too. I don't really want to reset the power fc yet and loose my settings. Pity i havent got a laptop so i can record the settings straight into xls. I'll have to do it the long way

With mine the trick was to get the car idling ever so slightly under what its set in the powerfc, i.e not going over the rpm set in the pfc.

My idle vary's ~25rpm up and down. Without the AAC plug hooked up it would idle from 620-640 and some times 650rpm. But not going over.

Then it HAS to be reset to do the learn thing again.

I tried simply adjusting the PowerFC's idle setting up then back down again in an attempt to get it to re-learn however it caused MAJOR idle hunt issues and didn't re-learn.

Write down all your maps, post them here and then fiddle with the idle. :D

Hope it works for you. :)

So back to the Z32.. What you are saying is plugging up the Z32 afm does alter the load readings when map tracing on WOT?

Like now it reads load point 19 at WOT 2000rpm. With the Z32 will it drop that to say for example 17 or 16?

My idle was pretty good when i plugged in the pfc after the learn process.

But then i put the z32 in and i've had to add more fuel to stablise the idle at low rpm, It would hunt around and sit at 900rpm all the time. Now its around 670rpm.

I'm thinking of resetting the power fc again and doing the learn process with the z32 in there.

Yes exactly, as the Z32 can read more voltage your load points will drop. For instance, i am using load point 16 between 4000rpm and 5000rpm and im running 18.4psi. If i drop it back to 15psi, it reads to load 14.

Yep thats right.. Did you take notice the before and after with the stock afm vs the Z32?

Mine with the stock AFM will hit load point 18 from as low as 2000rpm when accelerating from a low speed in second.

The reason I'm asking the question is if I fit the Z32 up will it require a re-tune?

I know what your saying Joel.I installed the Z32 a few days before I got it tuned so i can't help ya there.

Here is my tune with GTR injectors,GT2535 11psi :Oops:

Over 12 on the load it's not tuned so any more than 15psi it has a fit and injectors hit 100% duty!!

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
