They do seem to run a little richer on boost than OEM, I suspect they have a slightly different airflow/Voltage curve. Only the modified cars seem to display the rich running, at least it's better than lean mixtures I guess. Did you reset the ecu before fitting it Josh?

The problem is the 'replacement' Nissan AFM's run much the same as these, and only last a short time in comparison, (something gets damaged inside at full noise for some reason.) I have yet to hear of a failure from these aftermarket afm's, and the price is much more reasonable.

Gives you a good reason to tune the car Josh. :P

Yes a good tune is next on the list once I get a ecu. Was thinking wolf 3d(to give us another ecu option) or greddy emanage ultimate(already tried and tested). Found when I was giving it a little using triptonic once I went from say 1st to 2nd gear it kinda stalled/stuttered.

Well, I bought the red S1 off ebay. Price was OK for S1 Dayz with electric leather. Duco is sh#t but does not make it go or stop. Motor was advertised as stuffed, and it is. Compression test was my worst Chrissie present 3,5 & 6 50psi. So out with the motor and it looks like an RB30/25, same as the Sil is the way to go.

So my new year of Deeper in Debt continues. One would think at my age I would know better But then I am a Nissan Man.

Happy SAFE motoring for all for 2014..

Took the HKS pod filter out and put the factory air box back in with a Greddy high flow panel filter. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler than the pod filter and if I was to get pulled over, it isn't a defect.

Have you got a cold air deflector? That is supposed to help also.

Yeah, I have that. Kept all the stock parts just in case. Although it is a PITA carrying this stuff around when you get posted around the country every few years.

My Nismo son is doing the Sil Rb30/25 so he does the hard yards and I learn from him for a change. I have been looking at a better oil pump system

for my other RS4 Auto. It has an FFP and a pod and it runs a bit too hot and gets the gurgles I have an oil temp gauge and it gets to 120 when pushed up Henri Robert Drive.. I am looking at an oil cooler, but with a remote oil filter and an oil cooler I think I will need a much better oil pumping system. First I will go like Hanso and refit the stock air box and the cold air deflector. Mrs66 will appreciate the lowering of the induction noise.

Hugh have you put a bigger transfluid cooler on the auto RS4? If it is still routed through the bottom of the radiator that should help. I presume you are using a good synthetic oil! I had a remote filter system but gave up on looking for a place to put it so just got a sandwich plate where I can screw the filter on as its not too hard to do under the FFP.

And what have I done to my Stagea lately? Finally fitted the stock rear wing I bought ages ago, got my under mirror rust cut out and will paint shortly. I got tired of buying cheap and nasty wheels for the track and thought why don't I use my lightweight forged TE37s and bought some Direzzas to try. For the street I got a set of 18 x 8in wheels (ex Nissan GT coupe SE) which actually fit ok. I seem to have lost the ability to paste links on here (anyone else or is it my computer?) so pics will have to wait.

Also removed the knock-off Aerocatches which lasted less than 6 months and installed the much superior genuine article.

(BTW was having a number of problems with this site - unable to paste links etc. Just uninstalled IE11 and reverted to IE10 - all seems to be fixed)

Tried to rationalise that it's just a car and was not worth commiting murder over because my mother-in-law didn't even notice she'd clipped another car with it pulling out of a car park. Nice little dent right on the crease above the driver's front wheel arch and scuffed up paint on the front bumper.

Mother-in-law is now banished to driving only the Commodore battle wagon which, every time it gets damaged, only elicits a "whatevs bro" from me.

You ought to see my two Stags. None of my doing.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
