Well after 6 long months of trying to fix the shitter it finally goes again. I picked it up last saturday and couldnt be happier. I believe its the first Autronic fitted V35 or 350Z in the country. As autronic and my tuner have been writing the software for it as they went. A huge thanks to Matt Spry for his efforts in making the computer work and tuning the the car faultlessly. It made a 172rwkw and i believe it goes alot better then it used although the last time i drove it was 6 months ago.

There are still a few problems, im pretty sure the BCM is stuffed ornot happy with something as it sounds the horn randomly during the day still when parked at work. And the only other thing is that the standard computer is still running the fly by wire throttle, on initial throttle lift off it seems to snap the throttle blade completely shut causing a momentary compression braking effect. We're currently looking into ways around it, but atm im leaning towards a throttle cable and my spare VH45 throttle body.

Overall im stoked, i forgot what a pleasure the thing was to drive and am glad that the major problem is at least sorted. At least i have sort of pathed the way for those that may want to fir there cars with autronic ecu's. Apart from the throttle problem you wouldnt know the ecu wasnt factory.

Cheers

John

Thanks mate,

Havent been on here much, back studying full time and working full time doesnt amount to much of a social life anymore. But its only for another 2 years and then it will be happy cruising. Saving hard to do a brake upgrade semi slicks and bucket seats. Going to rid it of the back seats and sound deadening and all things heavy, as its only a weekend car im going to have a bit of a ciruit focus, may even stick a roll cage in it depending on how ambitious i get.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
