What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

I've got pretty much the same ones as Josh.

Second what he has to say on Ecutalk too......

Only thing im over is when I plug in and clear codes it always throws an auto trans code.... Funny that as its manual these days!

i think our o2 actually fiddle with timing itself. everytime Cihan tried tuning mine previously with the o2 plugged in, the tune would just go out of whack on the next run.

i unplugged it, and it was fine from there on - that being said my o2 was f**ked. but i dont think its necessary if your tuning.

You can tune light load around stoichiometric or a whisker leaner and run without the factory O2 sensor without issue. Although there is a case for leaving some light/medium sections of the map a little richer so that you get a little more response in open loop but will be leaned back by the O2 sensor if you have constant throttle in that section of the map.

Tune going out of whack is a little odd. If he has written the values and they have been saved correctly then there should be no issues. If the O2 sensor is playing up then the ecu will be having issues jumping between closed and open loop. If the O2 sensor is throwing strange voltages then the closed loop mapping will be all over the place. Something that should be pretty easy to diagnose.

there is no vehicle specific software, consult is just the protocol that all nissans between about 1989 - 2002 use. and there is plenty of free software floating around. i've got a few, ECUTalk, Conzult Free, TECU, Nissan Scantech (i think this ones free). If you want to shell out some money you could use Nissan Datascan. even the Nistune software will perform consult operations.

If your looking for a good solid little program to check error codes, look at gauge readouts and some data logging than look at ECUTalk. its a great little program, i used to use it all the time before i got my nistune software licence. As far as i know there aren't any free consult programs that can run active tests, i think the free conzult can but its limited.

I prefer Datascan over ECUTalk. I have NIStune on the carpc as well but it's too full on for day-to-day monitoring/diagnostics. Not sure about windows7 though.. carpc is still running XP :blush:

I decided to throw my car on the Dyno today, just to see everything is running safe.

Put out 215KW and was told that I should add 15KW on top of that due to the Dyno running low...

Looking forward to tuning it now... :thumbsup:

Great stuff Chris :thumbsup:

What are your current mods?

Cheers.

I have bigger injectors / Emanage / EBC / suction pipe still to go in. Then the gearbox will probably need a little love... :ermm:

Agree with cam! That is really good with the stock ecu

Interesting, particularly given you havent got a suction pipe but its often been said 200 was the upper limit with the stock one; irrespective - great result! The gear box seems to not like a whole heap much more power than what youre already putting down though >_<

On a side note, but not completely unrelated, my group buy injectors & fuel pump showed up today (Madaz dropped them off) :worship:

Nice Duncan, same squirters as im running.

Did they give you the dead time report with it? I have mine here if you need the lag time, I assume 1ms at 45psi @ 14v (should be close). You will need two of those pumps to flow anywhere near enough though. lol.

Chris, where's the graph mate? Post it up.

Dead time report? :whistling:Not that Im aware of, Im sure the guys at Willall will be able to work it out when the time comes, but any additional info that will make everything go smoothly is always appreciated :thumbsup: I dont plan on trying to max out these injectors any time soon - at least thered be no point with the GB, so the walbro should suffice.. for now.. :)

Finally got up to see my mate and get the NIStune board installed in my ECU, took all of about 20 mins :banana:

Made a few minor changes to make living with the Haltech a bit easier until I find time to remove it and repair the butchered loom :/

Set up the Z32 afm, have been running it since the stocker died but because the Haltech runs a map sensor it wasn't too much of an issue.. I thought.. turns out it was screwing with the TP so VCT was needing a lot more load to flick on, feels SO much better punting around the streets with it working properly! Also set the VCT enable temp to 50deg (as stock ECU is reading the temp ~20-25deg low) until I pull the Haltech out, then I'll chuck a stock water temp sender back in.

I can't believe what was supposed to be a respected workshop set it all up like this :no::domokun:

Managed to get my seats, coilovers, headunit and wheels on yesterday. Still sorting out height and fitment though.

Tough! Love how a set of rims can change the whole look of a car :thumbsup:. Side on shot?

Wow, 230awkw on stock injectors/ecu/intake pipe?

Interesting...:whistling:

    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stop on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, you need to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off  
    • @99RS4just wondering if you ever took photos of the footwell lighting / how you bypassed the controller, im keen to haver footwell lighting come on when I open the doors too   
    • Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.
    • Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
