Hey all,

I had a power FC in my car and my car would start about after a second, 1 - 2 turns of the crank. Now I took out the power FC the car needs about 8 - 10 turns, when warm, to start and now it idles really rough, almost feels like a lumpy cam with revs constantly dipping. I thought maybe dirty AAC but if a power FC can hold a stable idle with dirty AAC then the standard ECU should do it alot better.

I suspect something to do with my cas or timing could be off. Anyone have any idea? Holding the throttle open while starting does no difference either.

Car is a series 2 r33 gtst.

check the coolant temp sensor for the ecu, might be playing up, making the stock ecu think the engine is still cold when its actually hot, this means the start up mixture will be too rich making it hard to start.

does it blow any black smoke once the stock ecu fires up when warm?

No smoke at all. None of my ECU's on this car caused excessive smoke. Its retarded. I dont know why it does it but all I know is when I add my power FC in, the problem goes away. Guess ill just wait til we get the car tuned with the PFC and mods and hope its gone. I really do think it has something to do with the CAS though, I did fiddle with it a while back and not sure if I put it on right lol.

Now I got another f**king weird noise coming from the car. It kind of sounds like a metal ting, does it when the car is idling can be heard from underneath the car so I gotta sus that out tomorrow. Sounds like someting loose or touching something it shouldnt.

Does it get quieter/louder when the revs are increased?

Because it runs fine with the power fc it shouldnt be a CAS issue.

Its a really hard sound. There are two new sounds. One sounds like thick steel wire just being dragged around. Sound does not change with revs. The other is only at bare idle, any touch of the throttle it goes away.

This is the new sound. You can hear it as the higher pitch jig jig jig sound.

Did you get this one looked at?

Sounds bad to me, I'd be concentrating on it ASAP.

I know what that problem is, its coming from the rear of the cam gears. If I apply medium pressure to the back of the plate(above the venting gaps), the sound goes away. Its apparently not too uncommon with skylines. I'll get the problem clarified with Advan.

So what modifications have you done to the car?

Well now Ive got everything I need its just a matter of installing everything. First off is the clutch, then the turbo, then injectors and ECU.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
