Does anyone know if the standard M35 ECU can 'learn'?

After I changed the exhaust and dump I saw a massive increase in performance. On the dyno it looked to be 30kW and an extra 3PSI boost. Turbo starts to spool up now at around 2250rpm.

Then I fitted the pod, and on the Informeter saw I was running the injectors at 100% by about 6000rpm.

Then I fitted the HDI intercooler, and it seemed like it lost a bit, spooled up later, and was a bit more sluggish. I figured this was the lag introduced by having a bigger intercooler to fill.

Then I dumped the Valvoline oil, replaced it with Motul 300v, drove the car around 300km, and then let the car sit in the driveway for about 10 days.

Driving it on the weekend, it appears that the injectors are no longer hitting 100%, and the turbo is starting to spool at 2250. Sluggishness seems to have gone away, and it feels as good as it used to.

Would this be the ECU reacting to the mods, and relearning/retuning itself? Or would it be something else?

The HDI coolers have F all pressure drop so you wont notice any lag in boost unless you want to log a run and find it might 50rpm later lol

ECU's are gay and literally change a tune with a change of weather.

Does anyone know if all AR-X's come with the fixtures to buy and install the grate separating the backseats from the boot ie to stop my bloody dog from jumping over. From the pictures that have been sent to me it doesn't look like my AR-X has it standard.

If yes, does anyone want to sell me one.

Just so happens to be one on Yahoo Auctions at the moment.

Here is the Import Monster link

^That's a good price. Still, $375 delivered!

Also, pretty sure that all of the mounting "hardware" is included in all models. It should be up near the child restraining points. The lower mount is along the plastic trim along the bottom of the rear windows. There's little tabs that you press in and they pop out.

I could be tempted to part with mine if you need it. I only bought it a couple of weeks ago, but Northshore put the child restraint mounts in line with where the second rod goes, and apparently can't do anything about it. Otherwise I'll just store it under the floor till I need it.

Don't you use it as a divider for the back section rather the "seat to ceiling" position?

That's where mine always is. Stops the groceries from launching everywhere.

There are multiple configurations..

Those of you running some sort of digital gauges, what do you use to do so?

Does the M35 use OBDII? Can you get an accurate boost figure from this?

Greddy infometer seems to be the most common ....and we know it works....OBDII is correct!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
