M35 Fuel Consumption

[liam s]

hey i got my m35 now on the road and i don't know what the problem is.

car did about 380km to a bit over half a tank an now after refillling i'v used roughly the same amount of fuel and have about a 120km less on the dial. the only thing done to the car was a oil change and stuff like that so i don't know what the problem is. also i have been taking it relatively easy to get som good milage to. has anyone had similar problems? its a 2001 rs v four m35 with 60k on the clock. cheers liam

Taking it easy does not seem to make much difference. I get around 500k out of a tank - town or trip.

They run rich and need aftermarket tuning to get the best economy and performance.

I'm waiting on a tuner to give the final go ahead to do mine.

Michael,

No update on that tuning option?

so wat youre saying is an emanage ultimate or something? theres no way a vac line has come loose is there(altho power seems to be good)? waht about changing spark plugs will that help much?

[zei20l]

plugs will probably help, and depending on how many miles are on your car, they might be due for a change anyway.....

as for ultimate emanage, two of us own them now for their M35s, neither of us have performed the necessary installations but mines in the pipeline!

i though there was a guy on here who had done it? he did exhaust emanage and maybe a cooler(or it wasn't necessary) and got roughly 200awkw. how muh is the emanage and install and tune? 500-600 for tune? and are they vehicle specific? i've a 180 i'm to be building for the track so money doesn't flow to freely.

[zei20l]

nah they arent vehicle specific. but you can get looms that have all the wiring done so you can just plug it in! however, for an M35 AFAIK they dont exist

ok so maybe there is someone else that has one too?

No VQ25DET harness for eManage Ultimate unfortunately.

I know that there was a guy in NSW that had the Haltech 350z Platinum used as a piggyback ($$$ouch$$$) on his M35 and got around the 200awkw figure.

The eManage is basically a universal piggyback, as long as you know what you are doing when installing it.

I believe that Jetwreck is going for the Haltech interceptor for his piggyback.

As far as I know, the only ECU that has a plug in for VQ25DET atm is the HKS F-CON V which is great if you live in Japan.

Unfortunately I am not aware of many people in Aus that can tune the F-CON, let alone well.

Tom @ Bd4's in Sydney.

Someone @ gt Auto in brisbane

well i hope they are both good at tuning since i will be using one of them for my gtr

Its a bit of a crazy web

but http://www.j-sp.biz/g.swf for some japanese guy's m35 modified

[zei20l]

BD4s still exists???

hmm, interesting engine.

TEPS complete VQ36DET. (331kw)

Pretty sure we could see that kind of power out of the VQ25DET...

Yep they sure do, does anyone know what Tom's tuning is actually like?

Ah sweet cheers, japanese people need some lessons in website design

always hard to find thru google, and then the layout is usually crazy!

[liam s]

yea so i'm guessing trent at status would definetly know wat he is doing so i might invest in the emanage ultimate and see how i go. but i need a full exhauset first of all any one else want to order some magnaflow gere in bulk? i'm gonna go to my exhaust guy ask him wat he wants to put in then order the setup from the us for my stag and my 180 trak beast
