M35 Humans,

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a definitive fix for the delay from the time the throttle is mashed in 1st gear to when you actually get full power?

Its always been a bugbear of mine with the M35s I've had and now I have one that I'm going to hang onto I want it to disappear.

I was thinking of a throttle controller of some description but I'm not 100% sure it will do what I want.

Many Thanks In Advance.

Jeff

Throttle controllers don't work, I have tried one. The throttle restriction is built into the ecu, and occurs when the brake signal pin is energised. It also latches for 3 seconds after the brake is released. You need to cut the brake signal wire to get 100% throttle, but this will eventually throw a CEL so you need to wire a switch across the wires also.

Do a search, there are a few threads on the throttle restriction and brake cut mod. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the tip guys. The car finally arrived today so once its complied the mods will begin. And yes its the car Marc would have been talking about. Still working out whether to RWD and 6 speed it or not...

I have 2 6 speed boxes here for the same reason, but I couldn't bring myself to ruin the car, keeping it awd is the only way. Why not drop a 33 GTR box in there? :)

that brake cut mod is awesome. you get CEL after about 8 days though if you install a switch and just touch the brake pedal CEL is cleared automatically. even just driving around town the car feels so much better.

Besides the cel coming on does it do anything else? I.e changing gearing retard timing ect?

Other than resetting the CEL every so often (there are ways to automatically circumvent this with some extra wiring), there is only good to be had from this mod.

If the cel comes on it cuts boost and fuel, so be aware if runnig and EBC or manual bleed valve.

Really? I found absolutely no difference on mine. However, I always reset the the CEL quite quickly. No idea what happens if left for 100's of km.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
