I think the best bet at the moment is to get a generic G-Zone/Nismo remap and run an Emanage ultimate or F-con pro for adjustment to suit our mods, fuel and climate. The Emanage is certainly the cheaper and easier option.

With a quicker reaction time I could have got into the 12's at Calder last weekend (I hit speed cut 3/4 way down the track too), not bad for a 2 ton car. :O

... and a sleepy driver :P

Remember though that the Yanks (north of the border) have stuff-all in the way of eManage tuners... much like we have no Fcon tuners down here.

If there were "local" tuners for both, I would take the Fcon over the eManage ultimate... IF the budget permitted lol

Sorry Scott,a quicker reaction time doesnt give you a faster 1/4 mile time.It only helps you beat the bloke alongside you who may have had the same 1/4 mile time as you. i.e Your time is measured from the moment your car passes the timing beam, after you have reacted. :P

It certainly will, My best 60 foot time was 2.3 seconds which is pretty crap really.

Am I the only one on here with drag racing experience?.Again,sorry Scott,anyonewho has experience will tell you that your time starts after you cross the beam,no matter how quickly or slowly you react. icon1.gif.

That 60ft time started when you crossed that beam.

Not this day... 9 second cars were waiting for a few seconds on the line and it was adding seconds to their time. Autostart was turned off for some reason. A car took out the reflector array early on which I think was the reason, he stood his Torana vertical and went sideways into it. :/

What he means is your time only starts as soon as you break the beam on the start line you staged into.. so a reaction time has jack squat to do with your 60ft, 1/4 mile time etc..

surely you all know this tho.

thanks Andrew

obviously they don't. :/

You are correct, I have never been to Calder before. Who gives a crap anyway, I had great fun.

Scott,i'm sure you did.It is great fun.I look forward to more news on your cars future development.Good job. :/

ok, now Ive had my M35 for a month or so im looking at mods to do to it,

getting the TV tuner soon, at same time I will put a decent alarm/imobalizer on it and change to english,

after that im not sure where to go...

its got nismo suspension,

Nismo catback exuast,

Nismo Dash,

is it worth looking into doing the turbo to cat?

ECU? I heard Mines does one aswell as dolphin does one.... which is best bang for buck?

just wondering what else others have done to there M35's that is well worth the change...

Did you get an immobalizer for how much and how effective is it.

have you modified anything yet?

I'm tinkering with it a little. I've got two custom kill switches on it and just had a m80 installed so not sure yet.

Started looking at where weight can be saved and little 'tuning' things that can be done.

Will update a little later

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
