Hey, I drove mine today. Keep getting 13+ psi then the BOV goes. Hope to get some good brains next weekend at the cruise to sort this.

And actually the car goes great apart from this little glich.

do you mean to boost up that high hugh? or is it spiking or creeping that high. i found my stock bov kept blowing open as soon as i hit about 14psi after my turbo upgrade, i don't think they are really designed to hold much more than stock pressures.

Mine copped a bit of coin leading up to the QLD meet... :banana:

Profec EBC

High Flow Cat

Rear Camber Arms

Rear Toe Arms

Cooler Piping

Cold Air Induction

Rear Calipers + Pads + Rotors

Nistune Board + Partial tune

Mounted the Defi guages properly

Getting new tires this Thursday...

Best of all... I washed it :)

Almost forgot.. I picked up some Personalised Plates :P

Mowing your lawns?? :banana:

haha, let us know how you go :)

Well AEM AFR gauge is in though I haven't finished the dash mounting because barbecue and beer were calling. I'll put everyting back in tomorrow.

I had welded the boss in the exhaust just after the decat because I noticed a nicely placed grommet in the floor there which lines up under the passenger seat for the wiring to go through.

Is the Nismo ECU any good though or is it another raised rev limit, more timing and buckets more fuel? I am asking Kristian to bid on an M35 for me this week!

Apparently the Nismo ECU is a standard pre-tune program you buy from the shop....no dyno tune to you car needed.....plug and play. From memory it’s got the speed limiter lifted to 250km’s, snow is eco, better throttle response and a slight boost increase, increased rev limit + tune.

but then again all the above is not 100%....I guess I wont find out until next week......the one thing I am after is more RPM and better throttle response.

good luck finding one......a little birdie told me about this one....there as pretty hard to find......this is only the second on I have had the chance to bid on!

Can the 'tune' be extracted or do we all have to wait for the SAS guys to do their stuff? I have been reading the forums for the past couple of months and the ecu seems to be where the power is lost, so it's the place to look for some decent gains. Forgive my ignorance but what's so hard about getting the ecu re-flashed? Not that anyone in TAssie would do it but I would like to send mine off and get it done.

it's Nismo!.......will post more info when I get it!

I just cannot wait to get the Haltech off! :banana:

I have never ever seen a haltech but wonder why or how it is not working on your car. What problems are you experiencing?

The Nismo sounds like a punt. How much is sh*tloads of money?

If you have $2000 and wiring skills a proven ecu is the Link (or ViPec if you prefer) wire-in version. The 2wd manual M35 for sale on TradeMe found the Link to be the best way to provide tuning capability on the V6 engine.

i'm pretty sure the stock ecu does all the shifting too so i dont know how much of a solution a link would be

heard a lot of ppl raving about adaptronic too

but again, what do you do for auto box control?

With a wire in Link you can pick and choose the functions you want the Link to take over (e.g. all the engine management functions) and if the auto computer is inside the stock ecu leave it there to do all the auto functions. The Link's "flat change" ability should take care of the old problem of undue shocks during gear changes.

(ps the change to a map system will get rid of problems with the stock afm)

Its all an unknown though, as nobody has done it yet. Even a simple emanage install on mine has taken over 100 power runs to get to run smoothly.

The transmission has a separate controller which communicates with the ecu to back off the accelerator and timing for gear changes, it will still shift without this communication but the box cant handle it.

Believe me, I would love to get standalone control of the engine but I don't have 5 grand to blow on unit, fitting and tune, only to find the p1ggyback does just as good a job. I believe there are at least 10 owners waiting for the reflash (myself included) due to the illegal aspect of these aftermarket ecu's.

basically what Scottynm35 said!

My reasoning for getting the Nismo btw is not because I have given up on SAS.....but is so SAS can a least get a close tune to it....all things being good with the Nismo that is.

@KiwiRST4 Haltech....don't get me started :ninja: ......let's just put it this way....I am sure for some cars they are brilliant(e.g R35 GTR)....but for ours give it a miss.

The only way to truly control this motor is through a standalone ECU or a reflash.....piggybacks will not do it....sorry most piggybacks(theres one but it's about $2K) will not do it.

p.s. A standalone will not work unless you manualise the gearbox.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
