Anyone here had any experience with the Blitz throttle controller on their V series skylines (particular 350GT-8/ PV35 model)?

The claim is that you can select 4 different throttle curves:

Economy Mode

Designed to provide smooth throttle response for street driving providing greater fuel efficiency

Sport 1

Throttle is opened greater at lower revs compared to standard, providing faster low down acceleration but with no modification once the revs increase.

Sport 2

The throttle is opened at twice the rate of standard acceleration, designed for sport driving and circuit use.

Sport 3

Extreme sport and circuit use, the throttle is opened at four times the standard accelerator action.

There are positive results on the web for other fly by wire throttle cars (Colt turbo, Yaris) but no skyline.... yet

I've got one on the way and wanna check if anyone's tried it (or if I'm really gonna be the test mule). I'm not sure what to expect, but have often thought the GT-8 could be quite more interesting with a slightly sharper throttle response.

Cheers,

Haven't seen any reviews but very interested.

There are a few ecu flash tunes for G35's in the US, and on almost all them one of the things the do is adjust the throttle info.

The V35 throttle is controlled to begin closing once in the higher rpm range, from memory, and re-flashes hold it open longer. Hopefully this does a similar thing.

Scathing has had it done on his 350Z so maybe could shed some light.

My ECU re-flash doesn't touch the throttle maps, that I'm aware of (Pro Concept did it). All mine does is bump the redline from 6600RPM to 7200RPM.

There was a mob in Melbourne looking at doing a reflash that offered WOT all the way to the cutout (apparently, as you say, it starts closing the throttle up top) that posted on 350Z Tech a while back, but I haven't heard from them in years.

    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
    • He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛  
    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
