The best way to check your plugs/coilpacks are actually doing something is to have a coilpack/s out, remove the CAS, turn the ignition on, ground the spark plug and then spin the CAS. FYI you have to spin it the right way so if nothing happens spin the other way. You can usually hear the injectors when you are spinning the right way anyway.

I may be mistaken, it might be the injectors that will only work in the right direction. Dont remember, but no biggie anyway.

Get a new ignitor, earth it and then try the above.

I never said to disconnect no fuel lines :P

But if they are disconnected, then yes pull fuse

Haha.

I meant spray heaps of fuel around into the engine. Depending how much cas spinning fun you have ;)

Hey guys so its been awhile since I updated my progress but I replaced the ignition module and got the car started but ended up 3 houses from the mechanics and it died again pushed it to the shop and after 2 weeks they told me the engine had seized and would never go again so I got a car trailer and towed it home so over the last few months I have pulled the motor out, striped it down (and found no signs of seizing e.g no marks on the crank) so proceeded to do a full standard rebuild so new bears for both crank and conrods, crank measured and polished, new piston rings, bored honed out, etc and the car now runs and has passed rego and I am now just faced with the fine tuning which is where my questions lay.

I am having trouble getting it to idle lower then 1000 rpm and my afm sounds like a vacuum cleaner it is sucking that much with or without the filter (which was only to see if the filter was dirty) I have read a few forums and done a few things from them such as cleaning the aac valve checked all vacuum lines by spraying carby cleaner on them but with no difference and at the moment my idle screw is all the way in and 1000 is the best I can get, it does idle hunt a little when coming to an intersection or stopping, I have the R33 s1 with the ecu that has the screw in the back but when I turn it there is no noticeable difference in idle except when It get to certain points which im guessing is some sort of marker where the idle increases until it gets off the marker and it never seems to stop turning like there is no end to the screw.

The first time I did it it was really hard to turn over by hand but was possible and I had done all the work with the engine in the car but this time the mechanics had already pulled the engine out and had already loosened the con rods so I didn't get to find out for myself just had to go on their word but this time its was a really good build and it turns over by hand heaps easier. I learnt alot from my mistakes the first time now I just need to fine tune it to get it running perfectly and every time it feels like I am getting closer to getting there I just feel like im missing something and can't quiet get it to idle properly.

      R33 disk brake size

      By Duncan · Posted

      If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.

      How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.

      That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
