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:

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;

Direct Quote from that forum;

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

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:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
