hey paul just wondering how suitable the base map is PFC for R32 GTR.. initially i failed to turn off the ignition after resetting the ecu and car sounded like a WRX and drove like a Lada.. so i reset the ecu again only this time turn ign on/off and did the learning procedure.. still same result.. my only guess is that base map is unsuitable for my car which is close to stock.. i have read on the forum that base maps typically provide lot more power/response through the band unlike stock restricted ecu.. anyone else have similar result?

the base map is fine and should be suitable and smooth to drive

there should be no strange idling, no smoke, no nosise or dash cluster lights on etc

if you have a strange idle i suspect something is wrong

ie: afms busted

wrong injectors

leaking intake piping

dodgy aac valve

etc etc

have u looked in SENSOR SW / CHECK to see if anything is odd ?

i checked sensor sw and everything showed up fine.. car doesnt hunt on idle at all.. no dash lights.. i have stock injectors.. havent checked afm or leaking piping or dodgy aac valve.. car has no pickup at all even wen its floored on 2nd/3rd gear.. boost doesnt build as quickly either.. put my hks kansai modified ecu back on to check if something had crapped out in the meantime but car went hard.. so i figured it was perhaps base map etc.. was wondering whether its possible to lock values via software like datalogit which isnt cleared with the normal ecu reset..

if youve reset it, then it should be back to defaults

the stock maps are prretty good

i wouldnt call them sluggish but fairly good out of the box

to suit most cars and conditions

try

SETTING, IGN MAP

if you see all zero's then its locked

Really don't mean to hijack this thread just out of curiosity. im currently buying an power fc for my rb20 from a mate who has it obviously tuned for his setup. am i able, when i take possession of the power fc, reset it and install it on my car and run it on a factory just like my standard ecu until i can afford a tune?

if so does this same above process work?

Cheers, Adz

no point, it takes 30 seconds to plug in a pfc so leave it in a drawer until you can afford to tune it

im rather curious to see some of the engines imputs. i would like to see injector duty ect. to make sure im not doing any damage to my car in the mean time.. as it is not a stock engine.

And point taken.. but Also i would like to know.. because sooner or later im going to drive it to the mechanics on the power fc. and would rather not like to be on my mates tune on the way there..

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
