They could make this go even faster but that would tarnish other 'respected' brands too much.

yep they could, but that'd have more to do with being able to hype and sell another facelift a further 2 years down the track with 550hp

incremental changes and minor power-ups is what keeps the continual sales alive for performance cars

Well, the R36 is coming out in 2013. So not a lot of time for updates of the R35. Or at least I hope since I just upgraded from a series I to a series III. I'll really look like I got raped if they come out with a series IV next year.

But in all seriousness, I think I'm pretty safe. The series III is doing 0-100 in 3.0 seconds, 0.5 slower than a Veyron. Unless the R36 will be faster than a Veyron (please do that, i'd gladly suffer a series IV if that's the case), what performance upgrade are you going to do so that it's faster than a series III but slower than a R36?

you wont get 0-100 in 3.0 in Australia mate

maybe mid 3s if you're lucky in absolute ideal conditions

i was contemplating trading my 2010 for a 2011, but would rather update when they change the actual design so it looks at least different from behind the wheel

dont get too caught up in the hp figures, as most know, 1k later and a cobb will net you more power than the 2011 anyway, let alone the ubiquitous y-pipe and/or mufflers we all add straight away

Yeah right...

I just realised the R35 GTR was released in 2007, so the R35 would have had a decent run of about 5 - 6 years (give or take a few months) :)

2012 model R35 GTR sounds promising to match up to Veyron and or Zonda times.

not too fussed about the performance, as most know, 1k later and a cobb will net you more power than the 2011 anyway

Ideal conditions and would AUS Petrol be as good as Japans?

Speaking of which. Where in Australia is the best place for a cobb tune and possible other add on goodies? Willall? I'm thinking akrapovic with cobb tune.

ps I'm with you on the visual incentive to upgrade.

^^ Seems like a smart marketing idea...

Every few years, just up the HP, little updates here and there.

:laugh:

Careful mate, you're fringing on complimenting HSV execs there :)

yep apple's being doing that for years with the iphone etc.

In regards to the gtr...... one day..... one day i will own one

Willall mate.

I've run their tune for DOZENS OF TRACK DAYS and never had an issue. Martin is a track centric tuner.

Thanks. Its agreed then.

ps for a tune and catback you have some nice lap times :)

worked with the 350z, don't see how this would be any different

Yeah, that's what I meant and it works.

The "marketing tool" is what keeping the consumers open to opportunities of owning a faster R35 GTR then before and will go for it.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
