Hi all, my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin and after that, I realize a few diffrent from before. When the engine startup during cold weather, it start at 2k rpm, b4 that was 1k only. But it then slowly go down to 600-700rpm. Before it make the spin, max RPM during startup is 1k and normal running is 500 only. Not to mention, my Apexi turbo timer "DEAD", no information been display. My best guesses is the ECU somehow auto reset! Anyone have any comment on it? Is this good or bad?

its Highly unlikly that the spin did anything to your car,

It is normal for your car to rev at higher rpm on the cold start aslong as the rpm drops once the car is warm up then you shouldnt worry about it. Normal idle rpm is around 600-800rpm

For your apexi turbo timer, im guessing that the spin may have knock it around and it is possable that the wiring was loses and the spin just knock it out of place, check all ur wiring and make sure everything is connect and grounded right.

Also there is an idle screw on your car, and if ur worried about ur idle just play around with it till u get it to what it was like

Hope that Helps

What Mike said bout the idling is right, the revs will drop as the engine warms up. "Slowing" to 700 is alright. That's where mine sits at after warming up.

Also agree you probably stalled the car by not clutching in.

Your car would be fine, sounds like rattled wires on ur TT or something.

How did your 'car' accidently 180 itself....?

Jeez its a tough crowd in here (some), the poor guy is obviously from os, and he gets slammed for not speaking english, his grammer isnt the best and he gets canned for that.

What ever happened to the friendly forums? :O

"my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin " siaw, just so you know next time, to write this using the correct aussie grammer, try this:

"I farked up coming out of a bend, put my foot in a bit too hard and the back end went out, after a bit of tank slapping, I lost it compeletly and she did a 180"

Its ok, I know I have farked up heaps driving my car, especially when I was a young fella - probably why P platers have such a high mortality rate :D Dont feel too bad about being honest when you fark up, we all do it, its one way to learn.

Glad to hear there was no accident, you did get lucky there.

siaw, suggest, (as others have) it has something to do with the TT, check all the wiring, if that doesnt work, also check your inlet piping, you may have a small leak near the manifold as some pipes on these cars can be a bit old and tired. Also, as suggested, you could try adjusting the idle control valve, but this is more a cover up than a fix.

If you live near willetton, drop me a pm and you can come around to my place and I will have a look for you to see if it is something obvious, or, if all else fails, just take it to a reputable workshop such as C-Red, Hyperdrive, X-Speed and ask them to take a look.

good luck

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
