Just remember even if k's are geunine they start to move around the 100,000 mark or there after. But 38,000 should match up perfectly on the odo.

I had a look at the odo and nothing was wrong the mech i brought along said there is no way the engine has done 38,000k but he doesn’t think it's gone over 70,000k.

But with that in mind I still bought him, handed the cheque over last night, I'm picking him up at lunch today.

Anyone know where I can get a 2-point immobiliser fitted to cover insurance until I get paid for a proper alarm, and how much $$$, I would say not too expensive as it will be ripped out in a few days.

NEED HELP

There is a HKS Automatic boost controller in the new car and it has a different measuring system to Aust. It's running about 3-4 p and that wont do so does any one have some web sites i can go to, I don't even know what model it is?? Or if anyone has run into this prob before.

what does it look like? can you get a pic?

what does it look like? can you get a pic?

I'll get one tonight. Thought of that when I put the message up!!

Never had a boost controller before so its hard to explain

It's got the guage with the 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and has four buttons pwr, up, down and mode.

And on the left it has a screen and when I start the car it varies between -300 and up to -550 ????

When i press mode you can go up or down between 1.00 and .75

Wouldn't have a clue I'm going to take it to the mech I brought with me when I bought the car and see what he says?

i wuold also assume that .5 1.0 and 1.5 are BAR readings, .5 bar = ~7psi,  1bar = ~14.5psi and 1.5bar = ~22psi

So what I was thinking, when I press the mode it is currently on .99, so if i were to go down towards the .75 the psi would increase??? What do you think??

So what I was thinking, when I press the mode it is currently on .99, so if i were to go down towards the .75 the psi would increase??? What do you think??

no... if it is bar

.99bar = 14.35psi

.75bar = 10.87psi

Also, if you have the standard turbo, I would def not push it past 14psi...

Well at .99 the max boost going through is 3 - 4 so i figured if i go towards .75 it will increase the psi???

Also it only goen up to 1.00 max .75 min.

These Japs mechs have it backwards it seems to me or someone might have installed it wrong thats the reason I havent been touching it. What do you think???

HKS EVC III (or EVC 3)

Here's the feature list for the EVCIII:

- 3 boost settings: low, high, and manual. Low goes up to 1.0

bar (1.0 bar is 14.7 psi), high and manual go up to 2.0 bar.

- Digital boost meter, reading in bar only. Updates about 2 or 3

times per second.

- Boost is adjustable in one-hundredths of a bar (.01 bar/.147 psi)

- "Offset feature. Alters actual boost curve of turbocharger. This

feature gives you an adjustment window for the self learning boost

adjustment mode." I don't really understand what this is or how

it works.

- Scramble boost feature: allows you to increase boost above low/high

settings at the push of a button, for a given period of

time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how

long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external

switch you can mount anywhere.

- Boost warning feature: you can set the warning threshold to whatever

amount you want (up to 2.0 bar) and if boost exceeds that level the

EVC will blink and beep, and will instantly return wastegate

operation to stock levels.

- Switch-configurable wastegate type (integral or external).

- Serial port: supposedly for interfacing with other HKS units

- Fuzzy logic: supposedly manages the wastegate better than straight

digital logic.

SBC is the scramble boost button - allows you to increase boost above low/high settings at the push of a button, for a given period of time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external switch you can mount anywhere.

Kind of like the 'overtake boost' feature of some of the newer units

just leave it oin low (14psi)

your HKS gauge is in the bar format as someone already mentioned, this is just in a different reading scale compared to PSI (1 bar = 14.5psi) therefore on a PSI gauge it would be at 14.5

Anyway, just keep it on low boost or below 14.5psi (which is below one bar on the gauge) and your car will be fine. You can determine what its hitting (maxboost) when you drive your car and give it a hit right up to redline, just watch the gauge... if its hitting over 14.5psi, try and get someone locally (like a shop) if you cant figure out how to turn it down.

It's not too high, its prob too low my mech and I almost red lined and he said it was running 3 psi, so I'm just Wanting to switch it up to see how he goes

    • 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.
    • 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.
