Why all the secrecy?

WTF is an SLD?

dyslexic LSD?

nevermind found it:

Ahh so THAT's what these things do. I see them on IM when I search for M35 ECU and wonder WTF are they....

Its an expensive way to well and truely break the speed limit

and speak shit it does.

It modifies the speed signal to the ECU from 140kph.

Not sure what the ECU does from 140kph as I couldn't understand it, but there is definitely mention of it changing the "normal" tune due to the "high speed".

Just putting it out there, I know no more than that :rolleyes:

I shouldn't think its secrecy - just easier to email stuff than try posting it on here sometimes. Speed limit defenders have been around for ages they do not harm the ecu in any way. - only JDM vehicles are limited to 180 all your aussie assembled cars can go as fast as their engines will allow so its not so radical. Of course doing 200km/hr down your local highway is irresponsible but there are plenty of tracks where you can exceed 180. Nistune, E-Manage and all aftermarket ecus will get rid of the speedlimiter as wll. Skyline owners just snip the speed signal wire or put a switch in it to defeat it.

Kiwi is correct & its alot easier to just send you an email with all the info (i have translated the japanese fitting instructions)!

Kiwi is correct for C34.

Consider this though, with the "Speed cut defender" option turned on in Scott's emanage (which is installed properly), the ECU's speed limiter still kicks in.

OP is referring to the NM35 install, not a C34 install.

If you have the instructions for install into an M35, then cool.

Im just offering what i know, take it or leave it, i really dont care! I just remember how frustrating it was when i went to install one of these and no-one knew anything about them! Yes the one i did was for an rb25 not a vq35, but the principals are the same; I have a wiring plot diagram of the vq35 ecu & translated fitting instructions (with switch pos etc) for the sld (yes fitting instructions, unless you are psychic and know where everything goes - if so help him & tell me the lotto numbers while your at it)!

There is no speed pulse input in our ecu, the signal goes down the CAN line like I have said. You would need the M35 specific unit and it would just plug into the OBD2 port I would assume, unless you cut the CAN line and intercept the signal, in which case you can forget it, not a smart idea. If you have the wiring diag, take a pic and post it, please. :thumbsup:

So wrong...

So condescending...

Just what is so wrong?

That it is easier to send info as an attachment to an email than post it on here?

That SLDs have been around for a long time?

That they do not harm your ecu (if wired correctly naturally)?

That cars sold on the Japanese domestic market are speed limited whereas your aussie (or NZ assembled) are not?

That 200km/hr on the local highway is irresponsible?

That 200km/hr is possible on many race tracks?

That (some) Skyline owners jist cut a wire to the ecu plug to defeat the speed limiter?

That just leaves the question of the E-manage and after market ecus getting rid of the speed limiter.

I will accept that you have been unable to wire your e-manage so as to defeat the speed limiter and you may be right that it cannot be done with your car although I would be suprised

But replacing it with an aftermarket unit will definitely do the trick.

There is a VQ powered NM Stagea drifter (albeit a manual ) running around here with a wired in Link and that can go as fast as its little wheels will turn.

It has already been explained Kiwi and the VQ30 doesn't have an electronic throttle which is one of the the issues.

To the OP, understand completely what cutting the CAN line might do before installing this device.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
