if it dose not make sense its because I was at work typing fast not to be caught lol.

I have a s1 c34 stagea and am looking to upgrade the ecu. I read hear a while ago that u could use a z32 ecu in the s1 so it could be nistuned. so I was after all the info on making it work. a guy hear in wa has a ecu but I not know if it can be plugged in to my existing loom. the stock ecu plug now is a grey plug

I have heard that story too but I don't know anyone who has done it. You are looking for an ECU from an auto Z32 but it is far from a simple job and as I say I am not even sure that it will work. You could try emailing Nistune as I am sure they would know about it if anyone has done it.

Sorry I don't know much about the Nistune options either, but I do know a Z32 ECU would be a full wire in job which is a bit of stuffing around. You may well need the z32 AFM as well but getting the ECU in and wired is the first trick.

or swapping pins. but I am still finding out. according to a few tuners hear the triptronic has its own module to control that. so he said u will just need to find out if the auto shifts the same still. the awd is not affected as long as the signals to the awd module are right

The only other time I have heard of a 34 ecu in a stage a was in a thread in forced induction. A guy from the UK had it done, and the trans wouldn't shift properly. And heaps of power was missing"

I can't remember exactly but the title had something to do with t2 turbo,as apparently that's what his tuner fitted....

Anyway I'm predicting this will be way harder than you think. 4bidn1 has done a neo conversion so would know a thing or two about the neo Ecu's hidden traps.

yer I am talking with a guy in the uk about his s1 that was running a r34gtt ecu. trying to get all the info. if I can get a r34 ecu for bugger all I will try what a tuner hear said. to plug it in swap the cas wires and see how it runs if it starts. then take it for a slow drive to see how the auto is. if none of that works will just look as a decent piggyback ecu

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
