Its not a serious question, Its a trick question. Its also a demonstration to show that statements like the above shouldn't be posted unless you know exactly what you are talking about.

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

Anything I post, I make sure I know what I am saying and have some sort of real world relevance as an example.

I don't just bust out comments like "More revs means more inefficiencies due to friction in all the moving parts"

All the parts weigh the same, with more revs they are doing the same work more often. Does this make them or the engine less efficient?

Now I don't know the answer. But do I post it unless I do know the answer. No

Because he is a very experienced tuner, and you are not?

What does tuning have to do with me saying two engines making the same power level will use different amounts of fuel? He even agreed they would use different amounts of fuel, I don't even know why there is a debate.

If we really want to make appeals to authority to justify our claims, then I am the engineer and he is not. Kind of silly isn't it?

and what does BMSP have to do with anything realting to the tuneability of an ECU

lol I think the OP came to a conclusion ages ago.

Hi,

Just to mention:

The Z32 ECU does also switch VTC (or VCT) based on engine load / speed / temperature so a switch based one sole RPM might not be as good.

.

Z32 can control the VCT and it has something else that it can control better, I can't remember but pete from nistune was telling me, might have been something with the knock sensors I can't remember.

But you can easily control the VCT via an MSD window switch or an eboost street (with built in window switch). There is plenty of discussion on the nistune forums and on here regarding the differences if you do a search though. :)

I've heard of people wiring it permanently on because it performs better than off, so I wouldn't be too worried about it say burning out the solenoid or anything.

Know it is fine in my car using a window switch, I just make it turn off below 1.5k so it isn't on all the time.

Having it on constantly would cost you power at higher RPM.

The genuine R33 ECU switches off at around 4600RPM.

I guess a window switch will work fine, though the load triggered activation has a certain appeal to it.

Its mainly people with rb20 ecu's or ones that that dont have any control over the vtc. NIStune have proved

That running the vtc permantly on is alot better for mid to low power/torque but may lose 10 kw at peak power

Still one has to ask himself why did Nissan go through all the hassle of VTC activation if switching it on permanently

just takes off 10KW at the upper band.

(So I don't buy the 10KW)

;)

There are comparison dyno graphs somewhere on here, I know mine added 15kw in the midrange, unsure of top end loss with it stuck on though.

When trying to sell cars the 10kw is a massive thing.

Just like those guys running 290ish kw's that 10kw puts them in the 300's which is huuge just because it has a 3 at the start of it

I will try it with my drift car.

Were also trying another cheap vtc setup which is always on but the turns off above a preset rpm say 5000rpm. This works out alot cheaper and should do exactly what we want

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
