Series 2 you mean?

There is no gearbox other than the RE5 that bolts up to our orphan, I need to swap the sump so the bolts line up on the 350x box, and the starter fits. There is a lot of mechanical work before I even get to the electronic side. :/

The 350S was a series one car...

Sounds like a lot of work. Don't envy you. Starter gets moved to the other side, right?

3 times what I spent on the 350z box though. To fit the R34 gtr box you would either need the floor pan modified extensively and a new gearbox support made, or the transfer case would need to be spaced out 200mm or so off the back of the box.

Add that to the adapter required for RB to VQ, and buying a new twin plate Nismo clutch... I just can't afford it. :/

Floor pan mods are fairly straight forward, but tricky when you have to remove seats, carpet, sound deadener, looms, and then fit them all back...

Gearbox support is fairly straight forward, as a hybrid can be made between the GTR/Stagea

Custom Tailshaft required ($$$)

Gearbox Adapter would be a PITA to make from scratch, but can be bought for $,$$$...

You would have to use the GTR drive shaft to the stag diff (or get a custom one made)

Would take a fair bit of time and dollars including the purchase of the box itself.

Not to mention getting the ATTESSA clutch oil pump and all the other stuff working.

Why not Rwd ?

Massage the guards to fit some wider rubber

350z box and id say twin turbs if it has created more space presto

The rear guards will actually take quite large rubber; it has always been the limitations in the front (to keep ATTESSA happy) that have dictated the rear tyre sizes.

IIRC, several years ago, whilst auditioning rims; bbenny had 19x10.5s under the rear of his.

The only reason they didn't stay, was the issues with the ATTESSA going bezerk due to rolling dia differences with the front 19x9's & mismatched tyres.

Daleo 10.5" rear bags....

Interesting...

Well then

Apart from having total control being manual.transmission.

Myself the idea of a motec harnessing the full potential of the vq25det without that killjoy auto tranny ecu would prove irresistible.

Want to buy my 350z box and Nismo twin plate coppermix clutch now Toby? :P

I will get around to it eventually, one day when I am bored. Still searching for manual V35 interior parts... I am contemplating just using the 350z console and adapting the handbrake to work. Not sure what it would look like though.

I've always thought if I decide to heavily modify my PNM35 I'd just go RWD and 350Z manual box, but you really have to weigh up the cost of getting the car to a state you're happy with in terms of fit and finish vs the cost of sourcing and bringing in an Autech 350S. I guess you guys in Aussie have to worry about complaince though so it's probably not an option for you.

The nice Autechs fetch a tidy price. And your stuck with the shitty dash, not our nice one.

The cheaper ones are flogged out, I think its much better getting a S2 and converting. Even better if you have a RWD S2 car.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
