I think it is 79%. If no one else weighs in to say differently l can plug it in & do a test. I do know that I can't get above 87%, ever.

No dramas Leon :) Scott pretty much hit the nail on the head with respect to what I was getting at, as he wasnt able to get around the sub 35kph 'restriction' by going to a manual throttle cable I think you could say that when you put your foot down it does open up the throttle but the restriction is caused by a secondary set of 'safeguards' I guess. It sounds like Craigs ECU isnt partaking in those safeguards though. Curious indeed :)

nismo ECU maybe??

i have a long way to go before i find out :(

It could well be the Nismo. I noticed a huge improvement in responsiveness 'down low' when I put hte Impul in but I wouldnt go so far as to say that it no longer retards down low - particularly given the amount of black exhaust fumes Ive seen spew out the back when taking off (Not even with my foot 'down'!) :whistling:

Just had a quick look at the G-Zone description again.

They do say that the "option" they can supply with their remap removes the throttle restriction in a similar way to the Nismo ECU - by modifying the variable valve timing, electric fan and also "start timing (temperature etc)".

hmm... So maybe the vManage WILL remove this restriction... and because it can work with the vv timing, perhaps the Fcon iS can as well.

because there is no piggyback for the throttle. the vmanage can interrupt the VTC signals, but nothing we have can adjust the throttle itself. except the HKS because its a standalone.

im talking piggybacks. and put yours hands up if youre running a full HKS F-Con?

ohh wait, thats no one lol

Who cares! Oh thats right, you need to pass a yearly inspection, and if you cut the cel wire the car goes into limp mode... Oh thats right, its already going to be in limp mode so who cares again... lol.

Had a Haltech Platnum series.....go rid of it a long time ago!

Now have a Nismo piggybacked with and E-Manage Ultimate......I have bugger all low end restrictions with throttle or Cam's......as seen first hand by PN-Mad both in 2WD and 4WD!

+1 on that :yes:

I felt like I was driving a 1.3 litre Hyundai Getz auto after that....

Anyways, I might be interesting to see what a 3.5, with no throttle restriction ( I think), Less fancy electronic cams retarding, and shorter 3.5 final drives will do... apparently 8psi is OK to run properly tuned on a stock motor- in a Z achieving about 270rwkw.

Now- can someone suggest a ECU - I have F all knowledge about computers and that shit- anyone have ECU proven results on a VQ35deT?

No throttle restriction with factory N/A ECU's.

eManage Ultimate has been used in turbo or supercharged G35's, Fcon iS and V-Pro have both been used (again G35, V35 and Z33's), I'm sure the Haltech 350z Premium would be up to it and I guess APS with their piggyback could also be done (works on Z33, G35/V35).

I guess you'll need a universal harness though... unless the Z33 eManage Ultimate harness (thus the HKS Z33 harness) fits - we are trying to find out for my mate's V35 GT8, but I haven't seen a PM35 ECU pinout :(

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
