Idle AFR and throttle enrichment on rb26

Setup: Nistuned R32 GTR, stock cams, 1000cc xspurt, Nismo MAFs.

My idle is 12:1 hot (injector latency is set higher than spec), but i also have some leaning out just as the throttle is first opened. I was hoping to be able to reduce the latency to lean up idle, and fix the throttle leaning out by tweaking the throttle enrichment. However, I cant see any throttle enrichment tables in Nistune, and the Nistune doc says they are "Only available for some (RB series) vehicles".

So, it it normal not to have throttle enrichment tables on early R32 GTR ECUs?

And if it is normal, is there any point in trying to bring the idle closer to 14.7 and then using the fuel map to try to offset the leaning out?

You can enable Alpha-N flag which will squirt extra fuel based on the TPS voltage change, I've never used this feature on any Nissan I've tuned on Nistune but I suspect with the GTR and 6 ITBs you get air into the cylinders before the AFM(s) are able to register a change. I think this "may" only be available on the Feature Pack version of Nistune as I've only recently noticed it.

Try setting the idle cells to 0 and also change the possible minimum TP Load. Also disable the o2 correction on those cells (usually bottom 4) by highlighting them and pressing O (for octopus).

Thanks man. I dont have either Feature pack, but I also notice in V2 the "Injection Latency table" sounds interesting, as;

"With the larger injector sizes offered by companies like Bosch (Injector Dynamics) and sometimes to resolve issues
with other injector brands, the custom adjustment of latency is required at various voltage levels."

I'll have a look for Alpha-N - sounds like it should help.

The idle fuel cells are already at 0 (is that weird?), and IIRC I dont need to turn off o2 correction as its not used in the bottom left hand quarter of the map, right? (eg the filtered /unfiltered difference)

o2 correction will be still applied, they are the cells highlighted in that teal/green-ish colour, the best way to see if they are doing anything is by looking at the Short-term & Long-term Fuel trim graphs.

If they're on '0' and your AFRs are stupid rich, try dropping the latency a little bit - however if the injections don't like low pulsewidths then you're going to massive issues with light load / moderate RPM cruise.. it will buckle and splutter.

Ok, I wasnt in "expert" mode so the throttle enrichment tables were hidden.

The Xspurts are Bosch, and they're supposed to still work well at low pulsewidths. I'll try dropping the latency and putting on more throttle enrichment as a first stop. Then later look at Feature pack if its still not right.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
