hi

i know its not a skyline but i am thinking about getting a 350z & i was wondering if anyone knows if the ecu's on these can be tweaked or not?if so what sort of improvements are obtainable & where in qld i could get this done?if there is an australian website that deals with 350z's please point me in their direction.

cheers

The factory ECU is flashable to a certain extent, but since its not a real-time tune and there's a finite number of rewrites the EPROM will handle I wouldn't recommend it as a tuner solution. If you were to tweak it once only then fair enough, but if you always mod and you want to retune for the mods you'll break the ECU eventually.

The ECU du jour for the 350Z is the TurboXS UTEC. It can act as a piggyback to the OEM ECU if you want to use it as an interceptor, or can cut the OEM ECU out and run as a complete standalone. It has 5 programmable maps that you can cycle between as well.

Its a pretty nice product from what I've read.

As for Australian 350Z information, the only forum I've found with a reasonable Australian contingent is 350Z-Tech. Most of the Australians I know with 350Zs are either running Unichips or UTECs.

My boss tuned 1 here on the Gold Coast about 2 years ago using our xede processor the customer wsa stoked with about 8-10rwkw more power which doesn't sound like much but it added about 15km/hr more top speed on his trip back to Perth.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
