Just been doing some reading on the NIStune site and was wondering if anyone on the forum was running one in their M35.

I've got a 2001 model and would like to eventually go down the avenue of highflowing stock turbo etc in the future.

I wouldn't mind going for a system like this to atleast turn down the fuel mixture to save some juice as I think it's running quiet rich.

Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated!

I emailed them last year and they said that it was not compatible with our engine.

If this changes let me know.

And yes, they run very rich.

If you do not want to go to the expense of an aftermarket computer get a Jaycar DFA or an Apexi SAFC at least and ideally also an Apexi SITC and then you will be able to alter air/fuel ratios and timing across the rev range.

In my experience, the SAFC will not work with the M35.

Unique Autos spent a day trying to make it work, but found it incompatible with the onboard computer.

Which SAFC? The basic model just alters the signal from the afm and the ecu reacts accordingly. I don't see how it can not work but I haven't got an M35 to try it on.

Contact John P at Unique.

I'm sure he will pass on his experience and save you a lot of wasted time.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
