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:

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
