Hi, I had my GT-R in for its initial 2000km POS at the Dealer i purchased the car from, I asked them as part of the service if they check for any Software /Firmware updates on the Car's computers/ecu's etc.. The GT-R mechanic told me they have never done any Software updates since he has been servicing GT-R, which i thought sounded a little strange given updates applied on previous cars that i have owned in the last 10 years.

Does Nissan not release new SW Updates on the R35 ?

They don't even make Satnav map updates for the GTR since 2010, so there's no chance of this ever happening

+1 to Domino, grab a Cobb AP but kiss your Warranty good buy the moment you flash anything :(

Guys, thanks for the confirmation, given the amount of electronics in this car, amazing they havent updated the software / firmware as ongoing maintenance. Wardski, funny you mentioned about GPS updates, I asked the Dealer to check with Nissan Australia, answer back : " Nissan does not have any GPS updates available for my Car" . I asked two additional questions : 1. Does Nissan Aust. ever intend to provide GPS Map updates for the GT-R and 2. What is the level of the Map Updates for newly delivered 2013 GT-R's.. (are they using the same 2010 Maps?)

Mike..

A mate of mine with a 2012 has the exact same map version as my 2010... so.. All the ADM's have the same maps - I would even bet the 2013 as well. The last time that I asked my dealer which was September last year, the response was:

Hi Ward,

Regarding the Navteq maps, I have forwarded your request through to Nissan Customer Assistance as I have no current information available at present. At last enquiry NMC were trying to put a package together with there suppliers.

Regards,

Guys, a coupe of updates on the question of GPS MAP updates on our GT-R's. Dealer confirmed 1. Nissan Aust has told them they are soon to announce a MAP update for previous GT-R Models (Post April), 2. The Dealer confirmed the MAP version of their MY13 GT-R on their Showroom Floor is Map Version 11-12.. (My Sept 11 Build GT-R is Map Version 10-11) Lets hope that Nissan Delivers on this.. Mike..

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
