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

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.
