gimmick?? like the throttle mod that is available for V35s

One and the same :down:

They do "work" but in the end all we want is to remove the low rpm restriction which is implemented by the ecu and is, obviously, dependent on rpm which makes these throttle "controllers" largely redundant.... unless you want a not-so-sensitive accelerator pedal for freeway travel of course.

after a time without getting to the forum this is something I found in a mag...

Would be much like the other I would think.

It is the ECU that limits power by rpm, not so much via pedal position when under 3000rpm.

Reflash or standalone ECU is pretty much the only way if after low rpm power for the VQ25det...

... or change to a cable throttle and all the extras like Scotty has

You are right Iain but how long does it take for your foot to reach full throttle? They work well at the job they do, and you will accelerate faster in sport mode, but the throttle gets too touchy for everyday travel. In eco mode the throttle is less sensitive and gives you better fuel economy by not opening the throttle more than needed.

I found the number 3 eco mode to be the best for cruising but that is because of the massive midrange of my engine around 3-4k revs, where the stock throttle map was way too touchy. Like I said, they have their uses, just dont expect them to fix anything other than the acceleration curve in relation to the pedal.

It all comes down to the type of road you are driving on and how constant you can keep the speed.

Just near the end of my Easter road tour around Vic and a few thousand k's later I can see how the car behaves on different road conditions and how the car responds.

Using cruise control on the Hwy set at 2km/h above legal limit (damn VIC police) and got between 10.4 - 10.1L/100km per tank. During the prolonged Hwy cruising I could see the exhaust gas temp rise to between 500 - 600c at around 2000rpm. Which indicates the ECU leans out the motor at this sort of light throttle input and road speed.

Once back in the hills the car would average 12.3 - 12.8L/100km and the exhaust temp would be lower 400 - 500c until on the throttle and would peak at around 700c but mostly around the 500c mark.

But I love this car driving on windy roads.

Cheers

Bit of a grave dig, but has anyone installed the Works Bell paddle shift yet? Does the V35 kit work?

:)

Chris.

On my list(it's a long list)......cannot see why it would not work. Your talking about this one?

Yep that's the one.

I just got off the phone to Adam from tunersgroup.com (really helpful guy) and placed my order for the above kit.

He explained that the M35 Stagea kit only works with aftermarket steering wheels but the paddles move with the wheel.

The above 350Z / V35 kit is fixed to the column and works with the standard airbag steering wheel.

I will post pics of the install and let you guys know how it all goes.

Chris. :)

Will be interesting to see how you go.

HERE is an install on a Z33 if you haven't already seen it.

Have you done the quick wire cross to change the +/- around on the gear shifter? (ie pull back to change up through the gears 1,2,3,4,5 and push forward to change down through the gears 5,4,3,2,1)

If you have, will this make a difference to the paddles? Would suck pretty bad if it did.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
