My Cars Running, Oh Wait No Its Not..well It Is... But Its Not..


Recommended Posts

okie dokie, its raining now so im stuck inside :(

so I got the adaptronic in, came pretuned so I just set injector size made some adjustments to injector deadtime as advised..

Started first kick and idled away nice, few revs and it seems ok, no smoke, exhaust doesnt smell rich at all,..fuel pressure sitting on 3 barish..cheap gauge tho, could be dodgey..

then after it warmed up it starts to hunt around rather randomly too, has huge flat spot if you try squeeze on the gas a little and a bit of a miss..

Anyways Im kinda stumped, any ideas??

:cheers:

really, tuners do that :blink:

Cmon guys seriously, free towing, home delivered tuners ...what is this fantasy land your all living in..

no wideband yet...dont matter will just have to wait it out, whats the bet hes booked out till october now :laugh:

NRMA, thats who I use for free towing :)

Yeap. A good insurance policy with road side assistance will come tow u for free if u break down.

So push the car outside and create a problem the NRMA guys will not be able to fix (disconnect the fuel pump or something). Ask them to tow it to your mechanic of choice.

NRMA = RACV (yiew mate jason from RACV - get it every day at work)

Can't you drive it without giving it petrol? Just cruise it there. Or get your wide band and do some auto tuning! I think you can with that ecu. when you let it go cold again does it start and seem fine?

well that is the plan :glare:

was hoping to get it in a roughly driveable state first..so I can drive it there..

I could just call a towtruck but thats kind of a fail..

The only fail you will experience is if you don't get it towed there. If you don't know what you're doing with the tune, you could make your tuner's job harder later if you've changed something he's not expecting.

If you feel the need to learn new things, accept everything that comes with it, including paying double

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
