Ok, update time.

The car continued to stall under hard braking in 2nd & 1st gears.

When I had the car serviced last week they said the idle was a bit low so they reset the Throttle position switch and cleaned out the butterfly.

The car now revs a bit more on start up and settles at about 850rpm (which is about 100rpm higher than it should be).

The car does not stall now under hard braking.

So problem solved.

Could the problem have been associated more so with the butterfly than the throttle switch?

As with V35's, warm idle should be at 650rpm.

I guess the main thing is that the stalling has gone, would like to pinpoint what the cause was in case others have this prob in the future.

Idle is meant to be 750 in Neutral on the M35 but as I said mine is a bit high at the moment. Would definatley like it to be lower but there is no adjustment, it is all controlled by the computer. AS it has been rest it "may" be learning again. I have only done about 200km since it was done so I will see how it is in a week. It is certainly using more fuel with this idle and wants to drive on a bit much for my liking. If it does not come down over the next week I will be going back to see if we can sort it.

What was it idling at when you were having the stalling probs?

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required 
    • Any further updates on experiences with them? Anyone installed one with a getrag here as yet?
