Chris,

How was the O2's response (0.2-0.8v cycle speed) affected with the change ON IDLE? If the lag time is out the closed loop function finds it hard to cycle quickly.

Economy has been quite poor for a while now, hope its a bit better now

i've been running my car with closed loop disable for about a month now and i'm getting 300-350km per tank with city driving only. I find when i enable closed loop my idle becomes jumpy. Possibly stuffed o2 sensor

Checked this on the way to work today, response was very quick

Never checked it before though

Economy seems to be a bit better too

Mine is still giving me the shits

Playing around with injector correction % on each injector now. Last night I went through each injector and added 2% more fuel to see if it would help with my random knock

Injector 4 showed the most improvement, knock going from 80 to 24 at 1.3bar

so now my injector correction reads

1 59.5%

2 58.5%

3 58.5%

4 60.5%

5 59.0%

6 59.5%

Maybe I am finally onto what my problem is?

Worst knock I saw on the way to work this morning was 33. It used to be up in the 70's

Running SAFF 98 with 10% ethanol. The fuel itself showed normal knock numbers compared to BP98 before I did the adjustments

The car feels and sounds allot better. Maybe its just me, but the exhaust sounds crisper than before

The injectors were cleaned and tested a year ago, and where all within 1% of eachother. There was one which was a bit clogged, but it all was ok

Will see how it goes in the next few days

If only we could tell which knock sensor reads what. :P

Chris, If it is indeed pinging slightly and has been for some time then those little rb20's are tough little nuggets to crack.

I've done that mod.. it doesn't appear to make any difference to how the bov opens or when it opens.

I did find drivability to suffer a little when cruising around the hills. Made the car jerk around more when you jump off and on part throttle. Depending it may also increase the chances surge.

So.. I removed the grub.

Yeah, I think it probably is detonation, how much is hard to gather

Been like that for over a year now, close to 18,000kms!

Will keep going in the process of elimination to see what differance more of a play with the injectors does

BOV mod works well on mine, does make on off throttle driving a little harder to keep smooth

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
