Looks good Erop! Any significantly measurable drops in temperature?

I popped another OEM AFM yesterday (I think that's my third?), I was only 1km from home though - so not too far to limp it. I fortunately had one of Scottys 'after market' units on hand so I swapped that in & it was happy days. Haven't bothered to clear the code yet, but its driving fine ;)

i've never got issues in overheating even with old configuration, coolant temp never exceeded 93 C (as it was set on PWM controller - it has predicting algorythm, which turns fans on with low speed 5 degrees before, them pushing them to work harder), so i expect only decreasing time of fans to work.

we have really hot summer just in 2 month ) now we are going to fall in cold winter)

More a case of what someone else did to my Stagea. Couple weeks ago an elderly driver decided to conduct a rear impact test, unfortunately while I was still inside it!

Was in 100km/h zone stopped at big que of roundabout traffic. Was a big hit, I reckon close to 100, no brake marks, but firefighter mate reckons damage more consistant with 70k impact.

Bit of mild whiplash for me, car bent vertically and to the left, photos don't show how bad it is.

Drivers door opened ok, passenger little tight, didn't bother trying the others. Airbags didn't deploy as stopped but did get pushed into towbar of car in front.

Had only just left home, less than 2km away, other drivers all local too!

Been written off, lucky full insurance as he had none.

Bit annoyed as really happy with the car, bought few years ago with 70,000km and looked after, good oil etc, planned lot more years out of it as I tend to keep my cars/bikes for long periods.

Had my mountain bike laying down in the back, it hit the roof so hard it twisted the bar mount on the stem about 25 degrees. He hit me fairly square then slid underneath slightly.

Blew 350NZD about six months ago for new centre brake light LED too...

Wow hope u are alright. looks like it has had a left hand Qatar put on it at some stage! Doesn't look that bad for the speed u got hit

Neck muscles were tad sore next day, think would have fared worse if not as fit from my mountain bike nd motorbike riding.

Not too familiar with car damage, I suppose what you are saying explains that rip/failure in panel by window. Not aware of any previous damage, first NZ owner, bought from dealer and was mint condition around.

The other car had heavy frontal damage, fully folded bonnet and dumped all his engine oil on road.

Fitted A1RM pads to the stagea today. Made such an impressive difference stops on a dime now, which I was hoping as I recently installed 32 GTR calipers front and rear with slotted rotor wich made a big difference but now combined with the qfm pads it's amazing how fast it pulls up. Don't think I'll go back to using any other pads after feeling the effects they have made :-)

changed wheels to WINTER mode - don't know, if you heard of it, but i use studded wheels)

gp sports gullflame gravity

9.5+15 18"

this wheels are really RARE 18's , which may work with Akebono BBK - it's diameter in front is a real problem - even BNR34 wheels can't fit it!

245/50 tyres

rear fenders rolled

i don't like black colour of wheels, but it is as in is) thinking on grille replacement

wow not surprised they are a tight fit....I run 245/45/18 and they rub a little on full lock, 245/50 is even larger....

my 245s don't rub at all. Maybe it's an offset issue causing your rub.

Got a call from the bloke from Boostworx who has had my M35 for about a week and a half now.

He is putting the final touches on the tune making sure he is happy with it and i should be right to pick it up tomorrow.

Fun times ahead :yes:

Very interested in this!

Ok so I just picked the Stagea up and the difference is amazing.

I was prepared for the lag as i have been for a ride in an auto Ceffy with about 250-odd rwkw's and after about 30 mins driving i already found myself having a heavier right foot then i was use to having to compensate. Driving in traffic the car spent most of its time off boost completely and it was only till i hit the southern expressway that i was able to have a quick squirt. The thing sounds pretty awesome as it comes on boost now and feels a lot smoother than it use too when you back off.

I'll get the dyno reading up soon but for now here is the before and after

Before - 147.8 kw

After - 243.0 kw

On 98 pump fuel

What was added was ss2 Hypergear highflow, 725cc injectors, 3 inch intake, Greddy emanage ultimate and greddy profecboost controller, Trans cooler.

I'll report back in once i've had a chance to drive it for a few weeks.

Cheers guys

Wow those are some impressive numbers mate how much did it cost you all up bud?

I had more work done than just the tuning / few mods but if you said $3000-$3500 give or take a bit you'd be fairly close. Keeping in mind this is the first Emanage the bloke had done on an M35 so problem solving had to be done along the way.

Oh, and that's not including the cost of said mods.

Edited by Beregron

Yeah I was looking into doing the same mods as you just listed so it was max 3.5k all up that's good mate and was that through boostworx? Looking for a goid tuner in the Sydney area to help me out with this. Cheers bud

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
