Even totally warm, it takes probably 7 cranks to start. The old VL used to start at the flick of the key :\ tuner assures me it's totally normal though.

It is normal for the pfc's default values paired up with the rb30det, warm it should start instantly, cold it will take 2 turns or so. Well with the values below at least.

Here's the values I'm running now.

+80 - 10

+50 - 14

+30 - 22

+10 - 30

These values worked fine with the std rb20det injectors and gtr injectors.

All though cold starts 'could' be improved at least they start the car fairly well, not 7cranks. :D

I must say my Skyline has never started as well as my old VL. The vl was instant.

That sounds like a similar problem, thanks - should the AFM voltage be doing funny things when it is stuffing up?

You won't be able to tell the condition of the AFM by testing the voltages in this case. The voltages can read fine but the AFM can still be fubar. You need to get your hands on a swapsy.

Great help - thanks joel. :D

Will have a tweak over the next couple of days, because it really is a bit rediculous. I know if I had a close to flat battery and had to start this one in the morning I'd be buggered! Whereas my other VL will start cold instantly, all it needs is one crank and it's on, was the same on this one as well before I did the conversion.

haha well unfortunatly i had to get up in a rush to move my car for my housemate to leave for work, so my plan to put them in this morning was foiled :D

Will aim for tomorrow morning!

edit: this is probably a stupid question, but what exactly are we adjusting with the 'ms' ?

Those cranking values worked awesome - thank you so much! :D

Water temperature was 9 degrees this morning, and it turned over within about 2 cranks.

Now to take apart the AFM tonight and see if that fixes the other issue.

Which value did you use for the +10?

I now have mine at 35ms and very happy with the way it starts.

I've found a couple of little bugs in the pfc that I find it hard to replicate.

If I start the car and accidently touch the accel. while doing so OR almost stalling the car straight after starting the pfc appears to forget exactly where to apply the fuel cut.

It doesn't always do this but when doing the above is the only time when it may.

I slightly raise rpm and it fuel cuts until idle rpm then raises rpm again then fuel cuts.

Driving the car when its like this causes the car to jerk and cut out horribly giving you the feeling its going to stall, but it wont. :)

The fix.. Pull over, turn the car off and restart it. Drive off and its fine. As I said it only appears to do it when I do one of: Touch the accel while starting, or 'almost' stalling the car almost immediately after starting the car.

I came across the stalling the car bug when I had set the water temp correction maps too lean causing the car to almost stall when taking off at low rpm.

Unsure if other pfc's do it but my ap engineering one sure does. :D

This morning coolant temps were 10degree's.

I pushed the +10 up to 35ms, it took ~1second of turning over for it to spring in to life. There was no spluttering just a nice vrooom up to 1500rpm. :D

So the values helped?

i'll have to have a fiddle with mine, i'll try these settings!

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...

      Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
