thats what the emanage does also, except you can set different on/off points depending if engine speed is increasing, or decreasing.

Only the V-manage can adjust the cams, but the original ecu cam map is good, and working again.

Dont ask me how, Cihan waved his magic wand and its all better. So much midrange the lock up clutches arent able to lock unless i back off to help them. :worship:

I want to get the lockup clutch line pressure bumped up if possible, then manualise it. If that doesnt work, r34 gtr box or similar will be shoved in. No cash for that until tax time ay Craig. :worship:

Still locks fine if I back off the throttle at changes, just too much for the poor trans to handle. 2 ton car with 3 people in it, full tank and a boot full of crap doing steep uphill power runs. I overheated the radiator probably due to the high trans fluid temps. Lucky I have the Mishimoto to go in.

Will help, just let me know when. :worship:

This is probably a silly question and maybe not so relevant in this case with so many mods... but could the original pedal assembly/throttle body still be kept hooked up alongside the cable operated one to fool the computer into thinking it's all as normal? The tps would still work as if it was in the induction path.....

Or would it cause too many conflicts for the ecu and go into limp?

Anything is possible, the factory ecu would add fuel gradually as the elec throttle opened, but the cable opens instantly so there is a very lean area. I am trying to get the Emanage to run the whole show if possible as that will give a much better outcome, no fighting the ecu for control.

It looks like im at the limit of the gearbox anyway so no more power, I just want the low response. I thought cable throttle would fix that but it looks like the cams retard till 3k revs too.

Yup. makes sense.

After some idle issues and torque lockup slippage, I have decided to refit the oem throttle. (shame to drop power though)

I found the cable throttle didn't help the engine pickup much in the early revs, very similar takeoff so now put the low rev lack of performance down to the cam mapping.

Next I will try the V manage and see if that can awaken the low end response. If anyone spots a cheap one let me know.

i remember seeing some dyno readout's done on RB's with to test the VVT switching of the stock ecu to see if any benifit could be had in altering the on/off points. they showed that nissan had it spot on as standard and there would be no gain in changing to switch point. i don't know if the VQ is the same but you'd think nissan would have it setup perfectly too.

have you thought about just getting a simple rpm switch instead of the V-manage?

You will find the cam adjustments are a bit more complex on the M35 and can definitely be improved on. They are set up for economy, especially under 3500 revs.

Most modern engines have a switch point for a high lift cam lobe and constantly variable overlap. No need for aftermarket cams as there is a lumpy bugger in there just waiting to be tweaked. :devil:

The reason I need the V manage is to take control of the cams once the ecu is in limp mode as this disables the whole engine. (but not the gearbox, lucky.)

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
