It Lives... 6 Months Later...

[NA_R33]

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

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.

Here's a Question for you. Has there been any Autronic development for the VQ30det as of yet?
