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.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
