I have spoken to a few workshops about management and have been told OBVIOUSLY that the management they endorse is the best and everything else has faults.

One supplier in particular mentioned that WOLFs have startup issues, as in the car is hard to start. Now I am sure steve is going to answer this so here goes.

Could these startup rumours be as a result of a NON plugin wolf being installed by a person unfamiliar with wolfs which has caused this as they were inexperienced in tuning it.

Or can you expect this with a plugin wolf or any wolf for that matter. It seems a fairly significant issue so thats why I am leaning toward my first opinion to do with inexperience.

someone post up any feedback you have heard. NOT WHO YOU HEARD IT FROM

Thanks

Oh and if I take 2 wolfs is it any cheaper.

or maybe if others are looking to do this and have questions about it you could post up.

I have a friend who had a wolf plug-in. He was commenting that it does take longer to start (cranking time) but I personally think with a bit more time tuning, it should be better.

you'll find that with any after market ecu the tuning will show how well it starts idles runs etc, my experiences all be it minimal with the old v3's showed they wern't the best with cold starts, the v4 seems to be a lot better at it, but ive not actually been in a car running one as yet so i can't comment..

I had a few issues with cold starts and re-starting on my wolf3d v4 but its all been sorted now with a software update from wolf done by steve. I have noticed it does take a little more to turn over and start but since the update its started everytime firsttime and without having to give it any gas. For the money the wolf3d is hard to go past but with the soaring aussie dollar the powerfc is getting cheaper either one will do the job for a street car.

Steve's home computer is down at the moment, so if you don't mind I'll field this question on his behalf.

Cold start is fully tunable on the Wolf, and as such if you have a Wolf put into your car and leave it overnight with Steve then he'll have no worries in making it start well in the morning.

There has been one other issue, that a few people including Rob77 experienced, where the cranking signal wasn't being picked up first time, which meant a few cranks before the car fired into life, Wolf have since released an update which makes it start first time. This was only apparent in a couple cars but Wolf quickly worked to fix the problem.

Any of the other good ECU's should be able to coldstart without any issues, just really depends on the tuner.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
