Update on the stalling problem.

I had the Cam Angle sensor replaced today. Stalling is now fixed. They said that the Nissan Pulsar 2001-2002 model had a similar problem around 2002 with a faulty cam angle sensor.

They reset the idle which they tell me should be around the 750 mark.

See if this helps fuel economy. Not sure it will as rolling down the road with a stalled engine is very economical. LOL. Although not that safe when you have to stop or turn a corner. I became very good at it in the end, realized you just need to crank the motor over to get some brakes and steering.

Cheers

Ahaaa, I knew this problem rang a bell. Nissan CAS problems were all over the news a while ago here - mostly to do with whether the local dealers would honour a JDM recall.

Recall notice is here:

See if your Stagea falls within the serial number range listed for the M35...

I don't know about the sticker but mine had a bit of yellow paint on each cam sensor. I think this was done to indicate they had been checked. mmmm. obviously not that well.

My VIN falls out side the range they show, NM35 315xxx but the build date is in the range, 03/03.

hmm build plate 303xxx. Crap.

How can you tell if the problem has already been checked and/or fixed on your vehicle?

silver sticker on the right hand side of the vehicle type plate inside the engine compartment

Silver sticker? Check (phew!)

I have 2.

1 blank and 1 with R185 on it.

Wonder if that means it has been done twice? :P

"Mine", well it's soon to be mine.... :P

Is the same... Build plate NM35-301xxx

Two silver dots. One blank, one with R186 on it...

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
