Hi guys,

Sorry for not keeping everyone informed of build progress.

I have had to change my mind on running LPG for the moment.

I can't get liquid LPG injectors or tank for my application.... Yet.

I ditched the Automatic. It really wasn't going to be up for it. The controller alone was $1500+ then the box rebuild $$$$.

Have fitted a Z32 300zx VG30DETT 2nd hand $750 manual gearbox, with a moly flywheel $450 and button clutch. $700

Made custom handbrake adapter plate, to join HR31 to R33 cables, with adjustment.

Modified inlet manifold to twin 60mm RB20DET throttle bodies.

Tailshaft made, one piece 3in with GTR CV joint on diff end.

One dump pipe with slip joint on the external gate complete. tight fit. other under way.

A/C compressor made it back in.

Intercoolers welded together and mounted.

Trying to source a Toyota Sw20 MR2 electric power steering pump. Anyone????

Stage one fuel pump installed for std 370cc injectors and emission testing purposes. std injectors will flow to 500hp.

Stage 2 will be twin 044's and 740cc VG30DETT nismo enough for 850+ hp.

Exhaust system will have twin FG FPV euro 3 (4??)cat convertors to pass ADR test.

Engine is out at the moment as I have to get another manual box adapter made for a conversion into an S13 180sx with an NA VH45DE.

All brake lines now made by Motorsport connections, ADR approved.

DS2500 Ferodo pads fitted.

And that's about it for the moment.

I'll post pics soon.

Thanks and sorry for not keeping everyone up to date.

Mark.

Hi and sorry for no updates.

I have the Skyline running now and with an initial tune.

I will be taking it to Powercruise in Feburary 2010.

Here is a link to my website

http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/

and to a VH45 specific forum called Nico club.

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/4696...ine-45psi-boost

Its only running 6 psi so far, 310 rwKw.

Still tuning it in my spare time.

Thanks,

My goodness. That car is Boner. Pure Boner.

Funny you mention the R31 is replacing an XR6T. The dyno graph looks eerily similar to a lot of the graphs you see for modded XR6T's running BPU's.

Scarily yours is running about the same boost as a stock one, and is in a car that's around 400 kilos lighter at Full interior weight.

Mad props yo.

Jesse

    • I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.
    • Good afternoon Team , just a quick update on performance mods  Current Mods list (Installed) HKS - Power Editor (Came with the car) looks to be some kind of boost controller RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back  RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Front Pipe AMS  - INFINITI Q50/Q60 RED ALPHA COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AMS  - Performance Heat Exchanger Intercooler Not Yet AMS Alpha Performance Full Race Down Pipes  - to be installed in May 
    • I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.
    • Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
    • It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
