Does anyone know if the standard M35 ECU can 'learn'?

After I changed the exhaust and dump I saw a massive increase in performance. On the dyno it looked to be 30kW and an extra 3PSI boost. Turbo starts to spool up now at around 2250rpm.

Then I fitted the pod, and on the Informeter saw I was running the injectors at 100% by about 6000rpm.

Then I fitted the HDI intercooler, and it seemed like it lost a bit, spooled up later, and was a bit more sluggish. I figured this was the lag introduced by having a bigger intercooler to fill.

Then I dumped the Valvoline oil, replaced it with Motul 300v, drove the car around 300km, and then let the car sit in the driveway for about 10 days.

Driving it on the weekend, it appears that the injectors are no longer hitting 100%, and the turbo is starting to spool at 2250. Sluggishness seems to have gone away, and it feels as good as it used to.

Would this be the ECU reacting to the mods, and relearning/retuning itself? Or would it be something else?

The HDI coolers have F all pressure drop so you wont notice any lag in boost unless you want to log a run and find it might 50rpm later lol

ECU's are gay and literally change a tune with a change of weather.

Does anyone know if all AR-X's come with the fixtures to buy and install the grate separating the backseats from the boot ie to stop my bloody dog from jumping over. From the pictures that have been sent to me it doesn't look like my AR-X has it standard.

If yes, does anyone want to sell me one.

Just so happens to be one on Yahoo Auctions at the moment.

Here is the Import Monster link

^That's a good price. Still, $375 delivered!

Also, pretty sure that all of the mounting "hardware" is included in all models. It should be up near the child restraining points. The lower mount is along the plastic trim along the bottom of the rear windows. There's little tabs that you press in and they pop out.

I could be tempted to part with mine if you need it. I only bought it a couple of weeks ago, but Northshore put the child restraint mounts in line with where the second rod goes, and apparently can't do anything about it. Otherwise I'll just store it under the floor till I need it.

Don't you use it as a divider for the back section rather the "seat to ceiling" position?

That's where mine always is. Stops the groceries from launching everywhere.

There are multiple configurations..

Those of you running some sort of digital gauges, what do you use to do so?

Does the M35 use OBDII? Can you get an accurate boost figure from this?

Greddy infometer seems to be the most common ....and we know it works....OBDII is correct!

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
