Well anyway back on topic...

Who does the tuning at BD4s, is it Tom or the other guy?

I just found out from my HK buddies that to get the HKS gear tuned it costs them almost $5,000AUD

They get some guy from Jun in Japan to fly over and do the tuning... imagine if that was the same here :(

Jim at CRD tuned my car, I found that the car had more torque off boost and less black soot build up on my rear bar compared to the previous road tune.

The car started pinging after about a 2 weeks (bad fuel?) and Jim spent about half an hour retuning it - at no cost – and it hasn’t pinged since.

I haven’t been to BD4’s

Pity your car wasnt ready to tune a few weeks ago Stan.

Just Jap had the owner of Autech Japan out here and he is an F-CON tuning guru.

now here's the question.

Was it bad fuel or a bad tune in the first place?

If it was just one batch of bad fuel, couldn't you put it back to the earlier/ better tune once you put new fuel in? Or was it tuned without sufficent margin for safety on the road, taking into account variable fuel, hot days etc.

Did you get a dyno graph from the first tune? what were the AFRs? How much base timing?

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
