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.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
