Had my first track day. originally sold my ticket as my cars only semi tuned and was just going to leave it in the show and shine(the reason why i took my bumper off to attract some attention lol). And eventually caught the bug when i saw the guys going around.. going around half throttle though, cant wait till shes fully tuned :yes:

only did two runs my faulkens where chewed, this tracks not really not much of a track its called midvale speed dome in perth and is used for defensive driving etc.

Sounds awesome mate! When it's finished you'll have to get some numbers too!

Mine has had so much neglect lately I went to move it today and the battery was dead :/

It's on charge now, hopefully it bounces back so I can muck around with the F-con tomorrow. If I can get the damn throttle working again it's going in to get retuned after fixing the boost spiking.

my battery was dead as well do went for a larger 4x4 battery and what an a** it was to get in. Also installed my sway bars and gave her service and a good looking over for busted hoses, leaks and seals. tomorrow i'm going to install my standard intake along with changing both diff oils and transfer case oil.

When did you do trans fluid Josh?

I find it easier to do trans, diff and transfer case at once. They come up at about the same fluid interval so easier to remember one date/kms.

You'll enjoy the sway bars.

Thought of going bigger battery. If this needs replacing I might.

with the bigger battery you will have to remove all plastic surrounds and move the fuse box to get it in there and then put it all back where it was. with the hold down clamp I just turned it upside down to fold battery inplace

What's the story there Josh? Did you have a different one that didn't work out?

I took mine for skids, it went OK for a tow car including a quickest time on one course.

All good infact, until Ryan beat me in the white stage battle run! Good driving mate

Battery charged up, back in the car, all good.

Got energetic and mucked around with the F-con. Got the throttle working although now it seems to need a retune. Now that I think I know what was causing the issue I've got back to the tuners, hopefully they're good enough blokes that they'll stand by their work and fix their mistake.

Has anyone on here used the ebay throttle controllers in an m35 yet?? Would they work

They work, but mine sometimes threw a tps code, just like the cruise control. :/

All they do is adjust the throttle curve, it will never get rid of the restriction. Only the brake wire cut mod will fix that.

What?

C'mon Scotty, you're only guessing that is the cause :no: . Pretty sure Ryan proved otherwise by disconnecting/reconnecting cruise control. Appears to only be an issue with (some) people running F-Con & given all the wiring changes involved with F-Con installation......

No one else with cruise control has reported TPS codes & most have had it working for over 12 months (mine over 18 months). Probably a combined error free distance of over 150,000km.

I've proved the issue isn't cruise control as the issue continued with the cruise control disconnected, but solved itself when I disconnected the F-con (but had cruise plugged in).

The wiring for F-con install is easy Leon - it's plug and play (pretty much) intercepting the ECU plug. So I don't think it's wiring related.

I've found that the throttle issue was solved by changing the Conversion Table settings, but it needs a retune now. That, and my wiring is different as I'm running the HKS MAP and IAT sensors.

Thanks for confirming that Ryan.

Really, a mod for a M35 that's PnP ??? Must be a first, lol.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
