New Tuning Advances With Cobb Accessport

Thanks to the master of Cobb Tuning and GTR engine management John Banks the R35 operating system has been re-written yet again over the past few weeks :)

After rewriting the entire boost control code to make the GTR management work properly at higher than stock boost (plus a host of other stuff) it was time to program and 'crack' the launch control in the TCM. Now this has been achieved there are some other cool things on offer that put the factory GTR computer (when tuned with an Accessport) beyond the realm of anything the aftermarket have so far dreamed of for these cars.

The first innovation is using the factory big single boost gauge as a 'Knock Light'. Remember the flashing check engine light on the Power FC? The Cobb Accessport tuned GTR computer can now do this, but even better. Check the demo -

When you see the boost gauge flash its an indication that the GTR knock sensors have been alerted to detonation. The computer then rectifies the ignition timing automatically, but still lets you know its happened.

Then there is the intelligent map switching. Your tuner can write 9 different engine maps into the GTR computer with different boost levels, fuel, timing etc. and you can switch between them on the fly using the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Look at it in action here -

The possibilities are absolutely endless and the integration is astounding :)

Exciting times are ours :blink:

Cant wait to test this over the next few weeks! :D

It will be interesting to see what the new HKS V-Pro http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hk...ar-t330492.html has to offer in comparison. Is this available in Australia yet Martin?

Cheers

I am not sure about the availability of the F-Con.

What I do know is that nothing compares with programming the native code in the factory computer.

Now the interface between the MFD and the PCM has been cracked I think the public will be able to look forward to some spectacular innovation.

That is just amazing what they're managing to do reverse engineering the OS like that. I can see custom MFD screens on the horizon in the foreseeable future! Run everything including map switching from a custom GUI all controlled via the touch screen! How neat would that be....

And agree fully on using the factory ECU over aftermarket. Why stuff around with all the factory settings that do not need to be changed once you can do everything that you need with the OEM ECU.

I am pushing for that custom GUI but apparently its fairly difficult.......time will tell

9 independent maps at the flick of a switch (Cruise Control buttons) is pretty spectacular for the time being! :)

Real Time tuning is just around the corner as well, being tested currently, all using the on-board RAM in the factory GTR PCM

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
