Anyone care to shed some light on these? Not going to buy one but interesting. I presume that it just fools the computer into thinking the throttle is more depressed than it is when in sport mode.

We'd probably still be shut down by the factory computer throttle settings anyway?

Sorry but what's "economy"?

11.22L / 100km isn't too bad considering the weight of the M35.

I have a theory about getting better economy when having a bit of a go rather than staying off boost as much as possible.

I posted about it here http://www.skylinesa...00#entry5578928 and at least one person tended to agree.

I'm not sure if I'm on to something but it sounds like a good excuse to me :thumbsup:

My 3.5 v6 is appalling and it's stock as a rock. , I haven't come close to cracking 400 on inner city driving and believe me I've tried pretty hard. Cannot drive it any softer.

I'm seriously wondering if it's worth an aftermarket computer like a Link or something and a complete remap.

Is that possible???

I'd be looking at 350z remaps in your case. How different can it be? (famous last words):whistling:

Would that be hard??

Maybe I am underestimating the toll of being an auto and AWD and 1800kg with a full tank has on economy,add an extra 100kg for me.

I'm sure it's up there in Ford Territory consumption.

Was just expecting better economy then my 300kw 33 GTR.

Had a bit of a google;

I believe the guys at SAS in Silverwater may be able to help.<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">They can reflash stock ECU's, give em a call.<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">www.dynotuning.com.au/

Might be easier than you think...:whistling:

The other thing, maybe a freer flowing (doesn't have to be loud) exhaust & cat(s)and a high flow air filter might improve the situation a little.

Every mod I've done to mine, whilst improving power when you're up it, has resulted in a reduction in fuel consumption, when you're taking it easy. I know turbo's are different, but there must be some potential for improvement, and teamed with a remap it could end up paying for itself in fuel saving.

All depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

Hey, We have essentially the same car. What I find with mine is that the Mrs drives a relatively short distance to work - 10/15 mins each way. This gets the engine to operating temp ( I don't know about gearbox diffs etc) only just. So a lot of time is spent on rich mixture- getting about 450 from a tank.

Now, If I take the car for a spin, or we do a longer run, the consumption drops drastically. like in the 10km/L driving up old pac giving it some stick. 12'skm/L on the computer on the F3.

I have also had mine on a AWD Dyno. Yes it does run rich (unfortunately I had 95 in it at the time, So i will do it with 98 sometime in the future) somewhere in the range of 11.5AFR at full noise, and about 12.9 was the leanest it saw throughout the whole range.

What that says is yes, benefits in both power and economy can be made from some tuning. But you'd want to go with someone who is experienced. Other than that- buy a prius and save the planet :yucky:

SAS did tune my GTR and that's who I was thinking but Advan are very familiar with the Lin and there out western syd somewhere

. I believe doing this will def be offset by the fuel saving in 12 months easy.

I've been driving around today in tiptronic all day after fueling up this morning and my average has dropped dramatically.

Daleo might be onto something

Keep in mind that the Link/ViPec will have to be used as a piggyback and not a standalone

I haven't. I seem to be getting 350km and i was on the orange light for about 10-15kms. rabbit hole? im almost at china.. lol I cant wait to tune it :)

lol... nah you are at "rabbit hole" status mate.

If you were almost at China, you would be linked to the pic in my sig

i dont get it. how about ... New Zealand?

oh wait... your face is a rabbit hole haha :D:bunny:

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
