M35 Ecu Remap

[Bis-e Bee]

Ok doods, the spare ECU has been tested and appears to operate to requirement, I wanted to ensure this was the case prior to dropping everything off to SAS and finding out the spare was dodgy or damaged in some way.

Another thanks to Ken at Prestige Motorsport, what a legend

I took some photo's of the equipment behind the glovebox and kick panel for those who havn't had a look yet, note however that when you remove the glovebox don't forget the screw on the bottom left hand side. You need to remove the left kick panel, just insert a screwdriver and lever it off, it's got two clips that lock in and just a plastic nut holding the back end on. I'm not sure if I did it or if it had been done previously but the bottom left hand corner of my glovebox is now cracked, will have to fix it with some glue when the glovebox comes out next for it's trip to SAS. I kind of didn't find the concealed left hand bottom corner screw until I had done all the other one's and had begun gently trying to lever the glovebox out. Thought I would warn other's incase they can save this damage to the glovebox.

Anyway, I'll chuck the pictures up for anyone who is interested. I also emailed SAS yesterday and have brought up the topic of the possibility of a switchable dual mapping, this probably can't be explored until the car goes in but I will be sure to pursue the matter.

Thanks to Iain for his phone support in getting the glovebox out and the ecu unplugged etc. I owe you another double shot macchiato.

I suspect you can only have one or the other

I have emailed Tom at SAS, I havn't heard anything back yet.

They do dual map other vehicles so it will be something worth investigating when they test & develop.

+1 for dual map :worship:s

[[[d a n n y]]]

so...

any update?

[crisis]

I rang SAS today to get an update - they had my car there for a week doing development work almost a year ago, but held off pending availability of the replacement ECU.

Latest advice is they are waiting for us. - apparently there is a good number of M35s waiting to be tuned once the process is proven.

Is there anything I can do to progress this exercise.

well it seems like our good friend biseebee has disappeared off the face of the planet

so we need to wait for him lol

[zei20l]

i think he started a new job, he is probably busy doing that!!

[iamhe77]

Correct you are Iain, although he does respond to PM's.

OK guys, huge apologies.. all i can say is:

working = not enough spare time!

p platers in commodore's who can't drive and crash into other cars then refuse to pull over and exchange details suck! (don't worry, the licence plate is burnt into my memory!)

Tax cheque has arrived and I have been in touch with SAS, the car is going in with the spare ECU for a week hopefully at the end of November.

I'm opting for the dual map option but until they do the testing and development they are not sure this is a possibility, will update on this one.

I have one small concern with my nismo muffler that I'm hoping SAS can work with, I think it's locked in Silent mode and not sports When I flick the switch in the cabin and sound is no different, runs fairly quiet most of the time (i believe Goldzilla said it sounded like a vaccum cleaner lol). I'm guessing when the car was complied they just set the switch to silent and then disconnected/severed the cable or something. I think it may be restricting flow of the exhaust but my first tune will mainly be about fuel efficiency anyway, I'll worry about performance once the GCG highflow/intercooler and new turbo back exhaust is completed.

Once again sorry for my silence, I've been popping in now and again as I like to watch

Chow dudes

[zei20l]

dude if you can bring it to my place ill have a look at it, there is probably some wire(s) that have been cut to stop it working. or they have just unplugged it!

[KNG35M]

Any updates post the last Sydney get together?
