Hi.

Ive had my car repeatedly tuned with Nistune and Z32ecu. Its been a big fail in my book (runs like shit too many bugs) and im having it out replacing with r32 ecu shortly.

Over the last week i had suspected more engine ping. Last night it was confirmed. Floored it in 2nd from low revs (say around 2000rpm) got to a bout 4000-4500 and it rattled so loud my girlfriend even heard it. Im surprised it didnt let go there and then... shit box

Question is, how could this be if data doesnt change??? ive got a brand new fuel pump, sparks, coilpacks.... What else could cause it other than a shitty tune? Seems to have gotten worse as the weather has gotten cold. But again ive been advised this wouldnt be the case because "cold nights, air is denser, would ping worse in the day...).

FMIC

STOCK TURBO at 13psi

NISTUNE z32

Z32 AFM

3 INCH

yeah thats fine was just wondering, yeah nsw, got mine tuned by Mark at MRC performance in castle hill. i was VERY happy with my results after a shit tune by someone else aswell. mine was pinging, running really rich and missifring. Now is fine, running like it should.

As to your question about if it could be anything other than a bad tune, mine was doing the same as yours, my 2 main problems were my iridium plugs were shit, so dropped some coppers in with .7 gap and my bov was blocked off, i didnt know about this as it was a gasket where the bov bolts onto the intake pipe. After this was pulled out and given the flick the car ran 10x better.

could be bad batch of fuel, blocked fuel filter, dirty injectors, etc. the list of possible causes are long. or it could simply be that the tune was dodgy. just because the tune was done by a "reputable" tuner doesn't mean it was good. if you spend enough time looking you will find horror stories from every tuning workshop around. some just have more bad stories than others. i know of tuning shops who have charged big money for tunes so bad that the car wasn't even able to be driven home. they claimed that the wiring was done wrong, depsite the fact that the car had been running with that setup for about 1 year and had only had a bigger turbo fitted and that's what it needed the tune for.

Failing this last effort ill be going either there or autotech engineering. Its just a long way...

Mine is pinging badly, stutters just off idle, when i turn the a/c on shows a fault which looks like a cat converter with heats lines off it, accelerates up the revs unsteadily... lesson learned. Leave it stock.

who wired up the z32 ecu? you need to cut the wire that goes to pin 33 on the rb harness, or the exhaust light comes on with the aircon.

there's a bunch of other rewiring that needs to happen for the swap to work correctly.

so maybe your other problems are related to incorrect wiring of the new ecu.

Tuner/Workshop in brookvale. Ive been told if could audibly hear ping from inside the car its probably caused serious damage... awesome news.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
