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 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
