hi

i know its not a skyline but i am thinking about getting a 350z & i was wondering if anyone knows if the ecu's on these can be tweaked or not?if so what sort of improvements are obtainable & where in qld i could get this done?if there is an australian website that deals with 350z's please point me in their direction.

cheers

The factory ECU is flashable to a certain extent, but since its not a real-time tune and there's a finite number of rewrites the EPROM will handle I wouldn't recommend it as a tuner solution. If you were to tweak it once only then fair enough, but if you always mod and you want to retune for the mods you'll break the ECU eventually.

The ECU du jour for the 350Z is the TurboXS UTEC. It can act as a piggyback to the OEM ECU if you want to use it as an interceptor, or can cut the OEM ECU out and run as a complete standalone. It has 5 programmable maps that you can cycle between as well.

Its a pretty nice product from what I've read.

As for Australian 350Z information, the only forum I've found with a reasonable Australian contingent is 350Z-Tech. Most of the Australians I know with 350Zs are either running Unichips or UTECs.

My boss tuned 1 here on the Gold Coast about 2 years ago using our xede processor the customer wsa stoked with about 8-10rwkw more power which doesn't sound like much but it added about 15km/hr more top speed on his trip back to Perth.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
