Im trying to get some infos on what rpm to activate the VCT controller when using Link G4 plugin system, standard ECU activates it on pretty low revs if im not mistaken?

The engine and head is pretty standard, atm running 370hp on the wheels, but the power curve is first raising at 3000rpm (Where the VCT is not set to activate)

then it goes down a tad, and after 4500rpm it goes up, gonna push out some more Hps soon just had to replace the FPR, and gonna try get the curve a bit smoother.

Or should i disable the VCT completly?

do a run on the dyno without it then a run with it engaged from idle to 6000rpm then whenever the lines intersect on the dyno graph is your switch points.

I'm real fussy and actually tune for both VCT on and off, if you just change the point without adjusting anything then you get a misleading impression of what the potential of what VCT really gives. With VCT on, the engine actually likes more timing (at least up till around 5000rpm or so) than with it off - which actually changes the curve.

If you want to find the perfect point for your car, optimise the tune for both on and off then overlay the "best" for both and set the engagement and disengagement points to allow the highest torque curves to be utilised :)

Neo is not just on-off. It's continuously adjustable.

See i thought this too, but i got my ass flames for suggesting it in a different thread about VCT.

Lith tuned mine both on and off, theres quite a remarkable difference in the 1500-4500rpm range.

It takes more time, but if you want the tune perfect, its definitely worth it.

I believe mine is set to 1400rpm, 70'C water temp ON, 4900rpm OFF

so the purpose of VCT to retard/advance on the intake side (for Rb25's) yeah?

the amount it's retarded or advanced changes depending on RPM?

if so, how does 'constantly' variable differ? we talk about VCT being on or off, but surely 'on' doesn't mean a set retard or advanced state and if that's the case, how is it different to adj cam gears?

i've probably said a lot of newb things, so excuse my newbiness, just trying to get my head around RB25 VCT and how it varies to constantly variable

it advances the intake cam 20 degrees when activated, its not variable at all, its either at 20 or 0. the advantage to just having an adjustable gear is you can switch it on and off at different rpm, 20 degrees advanced is good for midrange but bad for top end.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Anything for a 2003-2005 G35 will fit an M35. Just be mindful about clearance if you're running a plenum spacer or runner spacer.

      You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha     "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You don't lose spark if your battery isolator isn't wired correctly and the ECU still has power from the alternator.   Car has an epic wiring problem. Sounds like power connected really really badly in places. Possibly a power pin on a ground pin for the ECU, and constant power in locations that should be switched ignition.   It needs someone good at diagnosing electrical, a good multimeter, and someone with the wiring diagrams to match the engine loom that has been put into the car, and wiring diagrams for the body side of things from the car.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By PNM35 · Posted

      Hi folks, what options exist for PNM35 or what models share the same dimensions and fitment for the front top of tower strut brace. I have seen a few options pop up through Google, the Ultra Racing Australia for one. I have seen some eBay ones that claim they fit C34 and M35 but can't find details if to work out if its true. Also found Taiko / TEMA4x4 claim the one type fits: - Nissan Stagea (2-nd gen; M35) 2001 - 2007, - Nissan Skyline (V35, HV35, NV35, V35, PV35) 2001 - 2007 - Infiniti G35, G35X (3-rd gen; V35) 2002 - 2006 But not sure how true that is. Anyone fitted one or know of someone using one and can confirm what does fit?

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      I got the full kit.   The compressor as above is much smaller and lighter.  Also quieter. Bracket is visually mint and much lighter. The dryer and heat exchanger(rad) are one unit. Also smaller and lighter.  Much more room for an oil cooler. The fan I got was a bit Meh and I might change it.   And above all else it is more efficient, tested a good 3-4 degree's cooler than the old system, which is a lot. Disclaimer though - It wasn't a back to back test given different days. It really does feel colder though(always).  And this example is in my car with that crusty looking old compressor, not new vs new
