tuned from the dealer?

how can they do that with a 'stock' ECU ?

i think they can, they have machines that plug the ECUs into and gives them the maps etc, my mates piece of shit mobile was ****ing around, injectors flooding etc and hyundai put his ecu in their comp and fixed it up!

yer, but that is a Hyundai. Any car these days basically has that functionality - and its pretty common for locally sold cars to have the whole "jack in" mentality.

You can muck around with the Nissan CONSULT tool, which will plug directly into the ECU and you can fiddle - but that is mainly a diagnosis and troubleshooting tool, not a tuning tool as far as I can gather. Read the 200sx or the R32GTR service manuals (out there as PDFs) and you'll see what it does.

New plugs, new belts, new fuel filter, new oil and oil filter, radiator flush, gearbox and diff oil change, power steering fluid change, battery fluid check, air filter check, brake bleed and adjust, tyre rotate and balance.. ...all helps ! :)

would and oxygen sensor cause any other type of noticeable problems that can be found on a dyno ? as ive had a full powerfc dyno tune and everything looked fine on there, hmm, gotta get a retune next week anyways so i will tell them how much economy im getting and see what they say :P

Costs me about $20 for every 100km's I do... (32GTR)

I only usually stick in $50 lots and always get around the 250km mark... doesn't seem to matter how I drive...

Compaired to my old carby turbo 240Z at around $20 for evey 50km's... it's a dream :P

Just got 455kms out of pretty much a full tank - however consider this: I drove to heathcote and back, I also had 17 drag races at heathcote and also did lots and lots of fanging during the week, plus some normal type driving - I would say that my air / fuel ratio's and general state of tune is pretty darn good :D

I am now wondering how Jamezilla fared from doing the same thing ;) ? Did you go through 2 tanks or 3 ?

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
