I don't know how to fix your tune but can you get 200L drums of toluene or methanol and add a few litre to each tank full to up the quality a bit?

Checked out that whole toluene thing a while back and did not seem feasible so i ended up buying a coolingmist wmi kit which is still in the cupboard somewhere along with some greddy cam gears....

Was really waiting until the turbo upgrade to install both but i think i'll give it a shot soon as i feel comfortable with the "base" tune i have now so i can use that to compare to.

I will be using water only first and see how that goes as a lot of ppl locally use it alone with decent results

Isnt that with R34 N1 turbs and higher boost?

The oem ecu has timing @ 24* also, so I have it around there but just alot richer than it would have been normally,....the stock ecu only gets to 11.0afr @ around 7k...well in my experience at least

knk is around 15

Nah...I'm in one of the Caribbean islands and AFAIK its measured similar to yours and not by the US standard

I would like to confirm that 100% but i dont know where to get that sort of info and if it would be reliable to start with....

Thats why i wanted to know the difference you guys see between 95 and 98 to get a comparison

Ha ha....i guess so...or even better as a matter of fact, > a "tuner" has my buddys car @ 37* on 16psi :domokun:

So i take it your 21* is on similar boost like what i run?

37* timing is Alot ! Even on 98 lol

Sure ur not running 110 octane

Well time for a little update......

I have secured all sorts of loose shit under the center console/dash and under the car and tuned the timing around 24* which is what the oem ecu would normally run and i'm not hearing any vibration/rattle again and the values on the pfc is 10-12 max and very low on the safc2 as well and i have that set really sensitive

So i believe that the noise wasnt actually detonation but i have taken out a few degrees here and there so the safc would not show any high values like i was seeing before.....so i guess now its dyno time to compare ign advance to torque gain to see where shes happy

Man....talk about paranoid!!! every fu$king thing sounds like detonation!

Any tricks to listen for knk on the dyno??? With your bare ear i mean.....i just dont have any other devices available to pick up knk

Get a long piece of vacuum hose and pushover the end of and inlet manifold stud, run it back into the car and listen to it. I have made a knock detection setup impromptu @ the track using industrial ear muffs drilled so the vacuum hose pushes inside the ear muffs to block out ambient noise, worked well but would not be good for your hearing long term :)

I saw you request for info a page or so back from march and i apologise for no reply. (havent been on here for months, very busy atm) Feel free to email your map to me i will have a look for you on the quiet. info@chequeredtuning.com

Actually i had the same idea but using a garden hose instead, but had not decieded where to position it on the block.

I see you mount the kmon sensor by the fuel line bracket, do u suggest placing the hose around the same area or maybe closer to no.6 on one of the studs at the back of the plenum?....its in a rwd chassis so i have room to work with

No need to apoligise btw, i know you have to be busy with the new projects i see rolling out :thumbsup: never the less i really appreciate youre time and help and i will email you the stuff a little later when i get some time...busy as well

Thanks a mil

Wowsers. My own GTR runs around 21 max at 11.7

Hmmmm...you didnt mention what boost, but does it mean you guys actually run less timing than the stock ecu therefore de-tuning the car for safety because of your 98 compared to the Japs 100?

honda? e85.

Hahaa rb26 .....but not for much longer i guess!

I run around 20 psi. I never push any cars to the knock threshhold but. So im sure i can run more timing.

My car goes to the circuit a fair bit. I only run on low boost 15psi at the circuit. So the tune is kept a bit safer

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
