The ecu knows the correct speed, but the dash displays it incorrectly on purpose. Putting larger rims and tyres on it will help a fair bit.

You can also use your gps speedo app, or buy an ecu reader that displays speed, like the Greddy touch or the HKS OBlink.

Interesting to see them get it working on an M35. Does it inferface with our CAN? (I bet it doesn't).

The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the gearbox (It's about 149Hz at 20km/h if anyone's interested). After that it's transported by the CAN bus. If the VSS is changed, it could affect other things as the ECU won't know the true speed. At the very least the trip info/fuel consumption would be out, & we'd probably lose some top speed as the cut out would come in earlier (not that it's a huge deal unless at the track).

No, the speed signal is independent of the driveline, as a few of us have changed diff ratios with no change to the speedo reading. At a guess it comes from the wheel speed sensors, and the ABS computer is something I wouldn't recommend playing with.

Oops, sorry - I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction, Scotty :)

So my post should read; "The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the wheel sensor/s"

But other than my gaff with where the sig comes from, it doesn't change the difficulty of rectifying the issue without interfering with other car functions (the point I was trying to emphasise). Like getting our ECUs programmed locally, I bet we won't see a suitable speedo correction solution, lol.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
