Hey guilt-toy, i was wandering if youv ever been able to get rid off the clunk clunk clunk hard cut rev limmiter on the link g4's

and got them to sound like the full bangy ignition cut limiters on the older ecus.

We have been trying several diferent settings the last couple of nights with my mates rb25 but still doesnt seem to change it much, channging th control range, turning the advanced mode settings off and having it on plain 100% ignition cut and its still very much the same.

We ended up just setting it to -10* timming on limit to make it a bit bangyer but still not that happy.

This is the limiter we are trying to get rid off

Any help much appreciated!

so i been back in The Republic of Georgia (ex soviet union, thanks paul... lol)

its been great to be back to be honest... not really interested in doing much tuning since i been back, not that most of the people here could afford me anyway.. i been really really enjoying the weather!!! the cheap booze and the chicks here are sooo f**king sexy... fark... don't see girls like this in UAE unless you go to Dubai i guess....

I just finished tuning the car that i was paid for comming here to tune, its a long story but here goes....

Back when i was living here there was a really known car accident, 4 kids died in a BMW M3, they were racing a merc on one of the main roads, this main road has a big ass tree every 3 meters and the road is very unstable....

Inside the car 2 brother died inside the car, and another one or 2 guys.. not sure.. all under 20 years old.. their family are wealthy and the car was purchased by the parents...

anyway before the accident the kids came to our workshop and enquired about buying a Vi-pec ecu for their wrx... they wanted to buy one to tune their STI, with a 2.5 block...

I still remember the day when his father came to our little workshop and asked to buy the vi-pec to finish the build for his son as a memory... i swear to god i will never ever forget the look on his face... the look said a million words without anything having to be said.... just looking at him was hard... he purchased the ecu from us and by the time the car was ready i left the country and moved to the UAE.

Anyway after some time past the car was ready and they were keen to get the car going, but the tuner who was trying to start the car in Georgia could not even start the car, then they offered me to go over there.... to be honest it was hard to say to no to him, because of what happened also the weather in the UAE is really hot atm so i decided to come back for a week for a break...

weather here is awesome!!! i have had such a great time! do not regret it at all!!!

I looked at the STI the same day that i got here, after i put the vi-pec in the case i managed to start it in a few minutes and the guy was on his way to do a 3000km run in period (the engine builder insisted)

anyway i just tuned the car, as we were going down the road where the accident happend the father was driving me, and said "you know this is catatrophe here", i remember where it was and knew what he was talking about.... after comming back from tuning on low boost we were going past the same place and he just dropped it in third gear and boosted the shit outta it, gt35r custom forged ej25 in a sti on 6psi it was flying... kinda scared the shit outta me... but the more i think about it... it was his way to express to his sons that he finally finished their project and that meant alot to him....

we tuned it on .9 bar boost which was enough for the customer and everyone was happy.....

tomorrow morning i will fly back to the uae, so it will be back to the sauna and bad cheap bingali / pakistani / indian made food... its ok when i make my own food though....

so yeah... il post some pics up... since i been here a tuned a few cars but not many... one R32 GTR with a t04z with nistune and another r34 gtt with some custom gt35r with precision housing... the 32 had about 320kw at wheels on low boost and the 34 had 300kw at wheels on low boost....

just looking where they have put the Dyno Dynamics dyno, wow im suprised any dyno could work in these conditions, and this one working without no faults what so ever!!! even though its sucking sooo much dust and shit that it would be enough to kill anything????

anyways.... will try to post these pics soon...

ok... here are some pics of the new dyno setup.... its not a improvement from the old setup but its better then nothing at all!!

also here is some pics of a R33 with a adjustable bonnet scoop! it opens and closed with a setup that looks like a electric window winder... i got a video somewhere of it opening and closing... kinda spun me out.. kinda cool...

ohhhh and a stupid thing that a mate and i wrote about tuning his r34 while we were at a Irish pub, drinking mexican / american beer in ex soviet georgia.... lol...

:)

its been a while i know... but lots of shit is going on here... problem is that i cannot go into it right now.. but if all goes well.. i should be able to update very soon!

the 350z is going good, i don't care what anyone says.. the good ol rb30dett kicks the pants off the v6 =) ! loving that car, but the 32... i am really fallin in love with... i put a hydro handbrake on it and took it for a drift at a small karting track in Dubai, but the power steering rack shit itself when my mate was trying out the car... kinda sucks as its a LHD rack which i imported myself from the usa, its out of a 300zx US spec, the rack cost me $80 on ebay but shipping cost over $200, and now it f**ked :( might try and get it repaired....

here are some pics, and a youtube video of my mate driving the car.

and the r32 after a nice clean =) removed the GT-C's.. they are inside the house and will go back on in winter!

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
