Did manage to granny it there with the injectors, ran rich as and was fouled to shit by the time I arrived, old spark plugs were stuffed anyway.

Just a warning on the ceffy computers, the tuner actually had to get the developer of the Nistune in to try and sort it out, apparently the ceffy/laurel computer has a slower processor than the 32 and also for some reason will not hold AFRs as consistently, I traded mine in for a manual 32 gtst computer.

Also if anyone has a 32 computer with a black (instead of blue) sticker these have a faster processor again (usually only found in the 1993s).

Currently making 197 rwkw @ ~17 psi but injectors are playing up a bit.

Is there anything wrong with running a Laurel computer?

yes the are crap, we wont nistune the A31 and C33 ecu's... we replace them with r32 ecus (plug str8 in)

All the c33 and a31 ecu require a type 1 board not the type 2 nistune board that the r32 ecus take. The r32 ecu are farmore modern and take to tuning fa better.

i have a C33 myself.

Actually these computers are virtually identical to the HCR32 ECU. Problem is that the A31/C33 ECUs dont have consult capabilitiy which was the main difference (so the normal lines for consult RX/TX/CLK dont exist on these)

Type 1 board 'USB consult' was adapted these ECUs but tuners reported AFR inconsistencies with A31s so we have dropped using the board with those ECUs in the meantime until I investigate further. I suspect some of the extra code added is clobbering the ECUs internal variables so I need to go through that ECU patch firmware again and try and workout whats going on. Would be good to get those going since I have a stack of A31 ecus here and they potentially could support RB25

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
