Got the new 3.538 diffs in.....got some good umph now!!!!

My fears of the speedo being out are cured.....speedo and gps are exactly the same differences as they were before.

Care to explain how a change in diff ratio makes no diff (oh look, a pun) to the speedo reading? Am I missing something obvious?

Installed my new ECU this weekend.. NISMO Sportstune :banana:

Very first drive it is obvious the difference with the car being a lot more toey of the line. Best part to be experienced is in the mid range now coming on much stronger and faster.

Next step to put it on the Dyno and see what the AFR's are like and what the actual power out put is.

Is this enough power.. :whistling:

because (as i mentioned ages ago) the speed is taken from the ABS sensors on the OUTPUT of the rear diff. therefore no matter what ratio the diff is, assuming you dont change your rolling diameter, the speed will always be correct as the speed is measured after all the gearing.

where'd ya get that ratio, 34 gtr? I was thinking the same thing today.....

btw hills have a 4wd dyno. what computer?

Ratios are from then nm35 vq25dd or the pnm35....

....Hmmmm waiting for mark to give me a buzz back on the dyno.....to much longer and I'll be going to Victoria for a touch up!

The Nismo ECU's.. how do they go with economy? Better/worse?

Emanage is a piggy back...so it needs an existing ECU to control.

The nismo ECU has certain "awesomeness" in it that makes the car a bit better to drive....and speed cut too I think

Craig's car has the Nismo + emange combo...

better.......you have an economy setting, it uses the snow button!

Worse......the drive is a lot more inviting so you tend to get up it a little more.

I think the main thing is no speed cut and no throttle restriction isn't it?

Has anyone with the Nismo snipped the brake wire?

Don't need to worry about that now though... :whistling:

I think he means with the fcon, the stock ecu still controls the throttle though. There are 4 wires extra in the loom plug I can't account for which may make some changes, not sure.

Doesn't explain how the throttle changed on my car.

Both much more responsive and also more soggy depending on map selected...

Without the infometer you are only guessing though. It could easily be tune related.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
