Bonnet Pop Up Cancellers

Hey, anyone have experience with using this little gadget on a V36.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201031617244?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The GTR Guys use them for track days to avoid a bonnet pop from hitting a cone etc.

The connector looks exactly the same on the V36, I guess its probably just some sort of resistor.

I've emailed the seller in Japan & he could not say whether or not it would work with the V36, just that they have not tested it with one.

Has anyone here tested/using this on a V36 for track days etc?

Cheers.

Best way to be sure would be to put an oscilloscope to one of the pins to see what voltages you see. If it's constant, then you're right, it's likely to be a purely resistive load. But if you see a pulse train of some sort, then chances are there's more to it than just a resistor, particularly if there's more than just two pins to the connector.

Ok, after a bit more research, I've spoken to a guy in Japan who helps me occasionally bring in Vintage Japanese Electric Guitars which I am a collector of.

He says, in Japan they make this for R35 GTR, V36, Y51 & Z34, one part fits all.

So as a bit of a favor he's going to source a set locally & send to me.

So, I guess I'll be the Guinea Pig. Does sound pretty positive though.

Cheers.

Sure, probably going to be 2/3 weeks before I get the parts & then probably another week to find time to do the job.

I'll do a pictorial "how to" if successful, for anyone that might want to do it also.

So unfortunately it could be a Month at the outside for a definitive conclusion.

So, bear with me if I don't update the thread for a little while,

Cheers.

Doing a 'how to' would be great, but I would be careful what you mention on a public forum.

Permanently canceling a pedestrian safety feature would be frowned upon by the authorities and your insurance in the case of an accident, especially if a pedestrian was hurt. You may end up paying any compensation yourself, even if it was their stupid fault.

Hi Scott, yes I fully understand that. I consider it a track only mod.

From what I gather its quickly reversible by just unplugging the modules & re-plugging in the Bonnet poppers (battery disconnected of course, thanks Ben.).

The "how to" is just to show people what they need to remove etc to get access to the connectors.

I certainly understand where your coming from though.

Cheers.

Okay, good news.

They Fit & work 100%.

I ended up buying a set off Ebay to suit R35 GTR, as my mate in Japan let me down unfortunately.

Access to the connectors is pretty tricky but totally do-able.

With both Bonnet Poppers disconnected & the Cancellers installed there are no check lights on the Dash.

I've done around 1500k's with them now, Track only of course & no probs.

I'll post up some pics later.

Cheers.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
