ok GMS got back to me and told me $1100 for the ECU

i laughed to myself and politely declined his offer

Bah, they know where they can shove that, we should buy the front end from GMS lol.

Whoever brought the black one would be up the creek then :)

I'm waiting to hear back but I found a place with an ECU, I asked for a VQ25DET one and they said yes we have one but then went on to say it's a VQ25DE ECU.

There are no VQ25DE's in the country except for the new release Nissan Maxima is there?

Anyway, I emailed them back seeking confirmation so I'll hopefully hear shortly.

i cant help with gms at the moment..

can anyone make sence of this guy?

is he using a fcon is? or teps computer? because fcon is is pretty cheap from Nz atm.. 600 or so.. but then mapping/loom or whatever have been done here..

and then onto not many tuners. but sydney folk will be fine. brisbane folk and wa

TEPS re-mapped ECU with F-CON iS managing it.

Don't see why you would get a re-map then put a piggyback on it.

F-CON would be great and it has a dedicated VQ25DET AWD Auto loom available, but no tuners in VIC for it *tear*

Another disappointment, ECU has been checked and confirmed it belongs to a VQ25DD :rofl:

So the search for the correct ECU resumes, d'oh!.

I've been told from the local fcon tuner, that they dont make a fcon Is for M35.. so there may be something else going on behind the scenes here.

he's told me to buy a fcon IS for a nissan. i can get cheap 600or so from performance guru in the Nz.. tho he only has mitsu and subi at this price..

and get the loom form fconvpro from wherever for m35..

he said there will be more mapping since there is no m35 supported with the fcon IS

  • 6 months later...

Has anyone had any success with the tuning of the vq25det yet?

I recently tried to buy a GZONE one off IM with no luck turns out my engrish is no good as i couldnt see where it said exchange item only. IM were good looked after me with a refund.

Keen to know what proven options there are?

Yes.

1x Haltech Interceptor (Jetwreck) which is NO GOOD for the vq25det and 1x eManage Ultimate (Scotty nm35) which IS good for the vq25det

You can also go with an HKS FCON as it has a harness for the vq25det.... just have to find a tuner

Thanks for the reply mate. This thread is a little old i know.

Has anyone in sydney had success and where and with what?

Yes.

1x Haltech Interceptor (Jetwreck) which is NO GOOD for the vq25det and 1x eManage Ultimate (Scotty nm35) which IS good for the vq25det

Yeh thanks i got that info the first time. Trust me i did use the search button several times over many months. It seems the info is old and somewhat inconclusive. I know someone had success with the Greddy ecu. The tuner was in melbourne. Not very convenient for me as i am located in Sydney. Some time as passed since these post so i hope some one has had some success with the tuning that they can share.

haha, I was just pointing out that Jetwreck is in Sydney.

eManage was tuned by etuner who has done a very nice job of it.

There is an ECU re-flash in the works which should be good to go quite soon I believe but no, no other tuned M35's at the moment I am afraid.

Cihan does head up that way occasionally, just needs a 4 wheel dyno to work at.

You could have sent your ecu over and still gotten the GZone. Thats what I was planning until I decided to go cable throttle.

The Emanage ultimate works great and has full control, other than the throttle, variable cam timing and transmission shift times. :banana:

Thanks for the info guys. Iamhe77 sorry mate didnt mean to be a smart ass. I just wanted people who have tuned there vq25det to chime in to share experiences and update this thread with some new info.

Scotty i did consider that but it would of taken too much time to do that. My missus needs the car to get the kids around.

You list a couple of negatives about the e manage. Do you think the remap will be the better option????

I read that silverwater auto were going to do one did anyone follow through with that?????

I have approached my tuner who tuned my 600hp supra. But he will charge like a wounded bull and want the car for 2-3 weeks. Also he hasnt tuned one before so who knows what obstacles he will come across.

I dont want to go into this blind if you know what i mean

post-69542-1262678810_thumb.jpg

I will contact SAS tomorrow see where they are up to with it.

I have FMIC

3inch ss exhaust turbo back

hi flow turbo steel wheeled and larger wheels

CDA airbox

boost controller

coilovers and camber kit

There isnt much else left for me to do just tune it.

I will do a thread on the car as soon as i am done modifying it

For sure a remap is the way to go, just not sure yet what the sas guys are going to play with. There are a lot of issues I have with the stock ecu, throttle being the major one, also the gearshift commands. Engine tuning is the easy part.

I think a Mines ecu would probably be worth the 2k asking price(if i had the cash) but I would still need some way of tuning it myself like emanage.

Mines is a bit too expensive and it wont be customized to your set up and ozy fuel.

I will speak to sas today.

Some one pm'd me re camber kit. It was from A&B motorsport brookevale. The car hasnt been on the dyno since most of the mods so i dont know what its making. It wont see a dyno again till the tune gets done.

i wonder how long it would take to get the ECU from aus to japan and back again after a remap?

i hardly drive the M35 these days and it might sit in the garage for a month between drives

Give it a minimum of 3 weeks

You should do it Iain, I could even trial it for you for a while if you like. :(

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
