Hey everyone,

As per the title, I need a lot of help with a v35. The car will not start. Again, the quest for more power has blown up in my face lol. Before I present the story I probably need someone who can do a full rewire for a v35, does anybody have a contact in that regard? For those who might be able to help, the long story follows. If people can either let me know here, or give me a buzz/sms on 0404 723 623, that would be great.

Thanks,

Ali

The car is a 2005 CPV35 Coupe HKS Supercharged Semi Auto. The car originally came with an IMPUL ECU. We added a piggy back HKS FCON Pro SZ so we could tune the car as the impul one could not be tuned. The FCON came off my brothers V35 Supercharged, that was a 6 speed- advised by local workshop it will work fine as its just a PIGGY BACK. Once we installed the FCON, the car started. We started it and drove it 3 times. While it was driving it was very shakey and unresponsive as it was out of tune. On third occasion we turned the car off, it would not start again- and the NATS light - as soon as you insert the key remains SOLID RED. When you insert the key, it still remains red. The car will crank but not start no matter what. What we have tried:

1) Locksmith to reprogram the key - Consult can not connect with the ECU- 'COMMUNICATION ERROR'

2) Another locksmith, same error

3) taking the FCON oeff , just the impul. same Error and problem.

4) took the car to Nissan who tried to diagnose it, can not connect with ecu

5) all terminals and relays and fuses have been checked and work fine.

6) ECU reset attempted - battery left off over night- did not work

7) changed to a new battery, did not work.

Send 'acsplit' a PM mate.

Wiring guru he is (done plenty of cars/conversions including my own & does work for a few workshops in Melb).

Whether he is available or not is another question as it's something he does on the side.

i always thought the NATS system was seperate to the main ECU

ie what happens if you flatten your battery at your shops

surely there is a way to drive the car again after a flat battery

i would try another stock ECU

its not different to flattening the battery and the ECU's loosing any non-battery backed ram data

i dont think the NATS ecu would have a serial # check to the stock ecu to say hey, your a stock ecu, but im expecting ECU serial ID 104030433, and your seiral id is 23903209932 go away

it should work

how much is a new stock ecu ?

if its trying to crank and it wont it sounds like you tripped out the immobiliser or its stuck "ON"

thus she will try and wont fire

engine starting is simple equastion of air fuel spark

if the ecu thinks its tripped the security or immobolised itself the ecu wont fire fuel, thus no start engine

that woudl also explain the red key icon

ie ive lcoekd myself out and immobolised

Thanks for all the advice.

Ideally I'd like the car to be tuned for more power and better power delivery.

So I was thinking, if I get an after-market stand-alone ECU, that 'should' bypass the immoboliser right?

I will try a stock ECU to see if it works, then if it does, I'll buy an ECU that can be tuned.

Also, will a stock Stagea ECU work in the v35?

Thanks again,

Ali.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
