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

tomorrow i'm going to install my standard intake

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.

was nice to finally meet you Duncan and nice Stag!!!

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.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
