Hello All,

Well my mate was going to give me an Apexi Power FC but after checking the site it is clear that they are not too compatible for Stags. He just imported an Evo FQ320 the greedy bugger. . .

So my question to you learned Turbophiles is:

What other complete units are there for the M35 that I can get. .

Ben at North Shore Prestige said the a Haltec system has been tested on the M35. I think he mentioned a figure around the $2k mark.

Pretty sure it was done Unique Autosport in Brookvale.

Yeah I spoke to Herman at Envy Imports. . . they do a small basic one for around a grand, then the $2k one and the $3500 one. They didnt have any figures to show regarding improvements etc. . so I didnt get one but happy to review once some real stats are available.

Was told to expect at least 10% gains in power fuel economy etc etc. . .but I am a "Must see figures" man or someone swears by it motto. .

Yeah, I have spoken to Herman as well.

They were using the 350z standalone ECU as a piggyback initially.

Cheap one is the "Interceptor", medium is the e11 (I think) and the expensive is the 350z Platinum.

He stated that figures were roughly 10% increase in economy & 20% increase in power...

I have also been told that I can expect at least that with an eManage Ultimate.... Fair bit cheaper too!

Waiting on a response regarding the Vipec as it is stand alone also.

Will let you know.

thats the place.

I know Jetwreck has planned to do the Haltec, he is expecting around 240kw from memory.

But he is also highflowing the turbo as this is now a necessity. We should know some results on the turbo in the next few weeks.

The basis one sounds like what I would like to do. small performance gain fuel economy gain.

The next few weeks will yield some interesting results.

I'm all for high flowing the turbo in my M35 too, probably won't be looking at it for a few months though.

I was talking to Unique Auto Sports about it the other day, they said Engine Management would be a problem ;)

When someone finds a good, cost effective solution be sure to let me know :)

i think your best bet is the Vipec/Link computer. Have a read of Skidkid's successfull installation in his S2 auto (and dirt garage's OTT praise). The Vipec has the computing power to do it all and it is a current model still being improved and supported (unlike the PFC). The main thing is to find a competent installer (as skid kid seems to have found). A new computer will not on its own necessarily produce a lot of power but it will get the maximum from any mods. It will very likely produce some economy though because Nissan's standard settings are conservatively rich.

since an aftermarket ECU install is really only as good as the tune, i'd recommend sussing out local tuners first and seeing what ECU they prefer to install and tune. Unless you like limping/towing your car across Sydney to get something looked at one day if there is a problem/question you have.

Well, I have just been talking to Trent from Status Tuning down here in Melbourne's South East.

Since I have an eManage Ultimate I have been talking to him about which way to go.

Here was his last reply (quick sum up)

"To be honest i reckon you could get 95% of the result with the emanage ultimate (get the optional map sensor and harness) the Vipec/Link install will require far more work to get right or even to the same point as the emanage. The auto control is the trickiest part and the emanage seems to integrate pretty seemlessly. What size turbo are you looking at? and eventual target AWKW? as these two really determine the best ecu direction. say 250 as a max and i would go the emanage route, say 300 and up and the extra work with the LINK/VIPEC would pay off in the long run"

Hope that helps guys.

If you need to go the eManage Ultimate, there are usually a few floating around in the For Sale threads.

I was looking at getting the OBD II software to monitor the functions of the car to get a better understanding of what the car is doing.

looks to be pretty cool software with the ability to monitor all sorts of functions under the bonnet. I can see that it works on the V35 and using a bit of "leaping faith" I would think it should also work on the M35.

Understanding how and why this car performs ma help getting the right tune.

Could be wrong though.

Where are you getting this software from & how much?

Does it plug into the Consult connection?

Yes, plugs into the Consult connection. Cost is max $215 for the full version with data loger.

See web page, http://www.blazt.biz/index.php

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
