Sorry if this is the wrong place to post,

Hi all i'm new here so here goes....

For the last year, I have been in the process of building my track/race 350z 2006 with all of the driveline, VQ38VHRTT from the new R35 GTR Jap spec halfcut from Japan.

Painstakenly the engine, twin airboxes and all of the wiring has been fitted and bolted under the hood to keep the car looking stock as possible. All of the rear diff, transmission and suspension have been welded/fitted and bolted in the rear end from the halfcut I imported from japan 2008.

When I recived my shipment from japan most of the parts were missing! Critical parts like the ECU (needed to run the gearbox and quick launch) front Seats, steering wheel are all gone. Apparently now my biggest problem is (which i found out last night talking to my mechanic) that I cannot use my Motec m600 to run the car according to him the car will start but not drive as the whole ecu controls the transmission. I have read posts from here and see you guys are the ones in the know! What should i do? Wanting the car to look stock but packing punches, how can i get it to start should i buy a new ecu immobiliser keys? anybody have japanese sources for parts?

how much would this All cost? any help is much appreciated.

Not sure many people will be able to help you out. You are definitely treading on very unknown grounds there mate :sweat:. I know work on the R35 ECU has been going on but as for running the engine out of the car.. wow :). Photos?

I am in Australia, my mate from Queensland did most of the dropping in the engine welding and fitting in his garage at QLD for 3000 !

the parts were very expensive though. I will definitely take some photos with my mobile when i drop the exhaust off. anybody have a Zele modded ecu in there R35? how much do they go for ?

One of my mates does, dunno which one he bought though

type 1 is 4Gs, type 2 is 3Gs

It's worth it but seeing as how I'm sure with all that power you certainly don't want to be speed limited...

The car will be used for the strip so speed limiting will definiely out of the question, gradually as the engine receives mods and turbos ect.... down the track would like to have a ecu to handle the change. For now I am looking at getting her running and engineered for registration purposes.

Send Haltec an email, I know they where working on a gearbox control when everything went a little pear-shaped.

Have you also thought about old-style H-pattern gear selection and custom parts, might be something else also to think about.

As for everyone wanting pics, how bout help the guy, then ask for pics :down:

it sounds like bs.

The VQ35 is a great engine to start with. Wouldn't it be easier just to stroke it bolt on some turbos and put a holinger behind it?

It would be alot less hassle. Not as interesting 'pics' wise, but easier.

Besides, it's not called a VQ38VHRTT. I reckon if you'd gone to all the trouble of sourcing it and sticking it in the car you'd know the correct engine designation. And you wouldn't normally get front seats in a half cut, and definately not a rear mounted transaxle gearbox.

Sorry mate, it's nothing personal, just that a few things don't quite add up.

However, if you are genuine, then good on ya mate for doing something different, and if the pics do surface, then I'll eat my hat.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
