Thanks to the master of Cobb Tuning and GTR engine management John Banks the R35 operating system has been re-written yet again over the past few weeks :)

After rewriting the entire boost control code to make the GTR management work properly at higher than stock boost (plus a host of other stuff) it was time to program and 'crack' the launch control in the TCM. Now this has been achieved there are some other cool things on offer that put the factory GTR computer (when tuned with an Accessport) beyond the realm of anything the aftermarket have so far dreamed of for these cars.

The first innovation is using the factory big single boost gauge as a 'Knock Light'. Remember the flashing check engine light on the Power FC? The Cobb Accessport tuned GTR computer can now do this, but even better. Check the demo -

When you see the boost gauge flash its an indication that the GTR knock sensors have been alerted to detonation. The computer then rectifies the ignition timing automatically, but still lets you know its happened.

Then there is the intelligent map switching. Your tuner can write 9 different engine maps into the GTR computer with different boost levels, fuel, timing etc. and you can switch between them on the fly using the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Look at it in action here -

The possibilities are absolutely endless and the integration is astounding :)

Exciting times are ours :blink:

Cant wait to test this over the next few weeks! :D

It will be interesting to see what the new HKS V-Pro http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hk...ar-t330492.html has to offer in comparison. Is this available in Australia yet Martin?

Cheers

I am not sure about the availability of the F-Con.

What I do know is that nothing compares with programming the native code in the factory computer.

Now the interface between the MFD and the PCM has been cracked I think the public will be able to look forward to some spectacular innovation.

That is just amazing what they're managing to do reverse engineering the OS like that. I can see custom MFD screens on the horizon in the foreseeable future! Run everything including map switching from a custom GUI all controlled via the touch screen! How neat would that be....

And agree fully on using the factory ECU over aftermarket. Why stuff around with all the factory settings that do not need to be changed once you can do everything that you need with the OEM ECU.

I am pushing for that custom GUI but apparently its fairly difficult.......time will tell

9 independent maps at the flick of a switch (Cruise Control buttons) is pretty spectacular for the time being! :)

Real Time tuning is just around the corner as well, being tested currently, all using the on-board RAM in the factory GTR PCM

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
