Yeah Pete from PLMS Developments told me that the V35 stock ECU is completely untuneable except for a Cobb system - and the USA Cobb distributors told me that the ECU wiring is subtley different between the G35 and V35, so would not work :( .... I will however get around to fitting my SAFCII one day so at least I can mess with the a/f ratios.

Trying to see if I can get a tuned ECU as a first step, Jetwreck speaks highly of Nismo ECU wih Emanage, would love to go the same. HKS is just too expensive and no tuners in SA :(

If you can find one, and you dont have to sell your kidney for it, it'd be a great step in the right direction. Rare as hens teeth though! Its a shame about the HKS, but thats fine; you'll hit the limitations of the gear box before you've maxed out the gains that you can get from the emanage.

Did no one in Japan do work on them? The 'big' tuning houses all worked out how to crack the M35 ECU and reprogram/remap to support appropriate mods.. but most of them want your car to do the tuning on OR charge through the roof for the services with only a very vague description of what the outcome will be.

My car had a high flowed turbo installed, and I dyno'd it at the last SAU:SA Dyno day with the stock ECU it had 125awkw.. a week later we ran it again with my Impul ECU and got 175awkw; but its a mixed bag if you go for anything other than an aftermarket Nismo ECU for us :(

Sadly because the V35 doesn't sport a snail, no Japanese houses took them on in terms of tuning, racing, styling or basically anything. Sure there are some Jap bits, but nearly every single thing I have bought for my V35 is out of the USA, where the tuning scene is huge.

Hell, even when they briefly ran some R/V35 cars in the JGTC they ran VQ30DETTs in them, rather than our beautiful VQ35s (the VQ30DETT was later replaced by the VK45DE) .... if only they had turbo's the V35 they would be an amazing thing .... pretty muh everyone that has done an aftermarket turbo or supercharger kit on them has cracked 300rwkw with relative ease.

That's pretty much what I worked out, and I'm not after big power really. I'll try and get an ECU upgrade, maybe just a reflash even, then worry about a piggyback when the arguments in the Stagea section are finished and we have a winner :P

Why was the V35 so much bigger in the states than Japan? Seems odd...

Good plan :thumbsup:

Because it was sold as the Infinity G35 as opposed to the Nissan V35 :banana:

Yep, it was a combination of the Infiniti brand/badging, and the fact that they don't have R32/33/34 GTRs over there to overwhelm the V35/G35 (there are a handful of R32/33/34 private imports in the USA but even these have been deemeed to be illegal in recent times).

In Japan the V35 is considered slow, but in the USA a 3.5L V6 that can do sub-6 seconds 0-100km and high 13 second 1/4 mile is an attractive proposition - especially in a semi-luxury car with leather, sat-nav, Brembos etc etc.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
