ok GMS got back to me and told me $1100 for the ECU

i laughed to myself and politely declined his offer

Bah, they know where they can shove that, we should buy the front end from GMS lol.

Whoever brought the black one would be up the creek then :)

I'm waiting to hear back but I found a place with an ECU, I asked for a VQ25DET one and they said yes we have one but then went on to say it's a VQ25DE ECU.

There are no VQ25DE's in the country except for the new release Nissan Maxima is there?

Anyway, I emailed them back seeking confirmation so I'll hopefully hear shortly.

i cant help with gms at the moment..

can anyone make sence of this guy?

is he using a fcon is? or teps computer? because fcon is is pretty cheap from Nz atm.. 600 or so.. but then mapping/loom or whatever have been done here..

and then onto not many tuners. but sydney folk will be fine. brisbane folk and wa

TEPS re-mapped ECU with F-CON iS managing it.

Don't see why you would get a re-map then put a piggyback on it.

F-CON would be great and it has a dedicated VQ25DET AWD Auto loom available, but no tuners in VIC for it *tear*

Another disappointment, ECU has been checked and confirmed it belongs to a VQ25DD :rofl:

So the search for the correct ECU resumes, d'oh!.

I've been told from the local fcon tuner, that they dont make a fcon Is for M35.. so there may be something else going on behind the scenes here.

he's told me to buy a fcon IS for a nissan. i can get cheap 600or so from performance guru in the Nz.. tho he only has mitsu and subi at this price..

and get the loom form fconvpro from wherever for m35..

he said there will be more mapping since there is no m35 supported with the fcon IS

  • 6 months later...

Has anyone had any success with the tuning of the vq25det yet?

I recently tried to buy a GZONE one off IM with no luck turns out my engrish is no good as i couldnt see where it said exchange item only. IM were good looked after me with a refund.

Keen to know what proven options there are?

Yes.

1x Haltech Interceptor (Jetwreck) which is NO GOOD for the vq25det and 1x eManage Ultimate (Scotty nm35) which IS good for the vq25det

You can also go with an HKS FCON as it has a harness for the vq25det.... just have to find a tuner

Thanks for the reply mate. This thread is a little old i know.

Has anyone in sydney had success and where and with what?

Yes.

1x Haltech Interceptor (Jetwreck) which is NO GOOD for the vq25det and 1x eManage Ultimate (Scotty nm35) which IS good for the vq25det

Yeh thanks i got that info the first time. Trust me i did use the search button several times over many months. It seems the info is old and somewhat inconclusive. I know someone had success with the Greddy ecu. The tuner was in melbourne. Not very convenient for me as i am located in Sydney. Some time as passed since these post so i hope some one has had some success with the tuning that they can share.

haha, I was just pointing out that Jetwreck is in Sydney.

eManage was tuned by etuner who has done a very nice job of it.

There is an ECU re-flash in the works which should be good to go quite soon I believe but no, no other tuned M35's at the moment I am afraid.

Cihan does head up that way occasionally, just needs a 4 wheel dyno to work at.

You could have sent your ecu over and still gotten the GZone. Thats what I was planning until I decided to go cable throttle.

The Emanage ultimate works great and has full control, other than the throttle, variable cam timing and transmission shift times. :banana:

Thanks for the info guys. Iamhe77 sorry mate didnt mean to be a smart ass. I just wanted people who have tuned there vq25det to chime in to share experiences and update this thread with some new info.

Scotty i did consider that but it would of taken too much time to do that. My missus needs the car to get the kids around.

You list a couple of negatives about the e manage. Do you think the remap will be the better option????

I read that silverwater auto were going to do one did anyone follow through with that?????

I have approached my tuner who tuned my 600hp supra. But he will charge like a wounded bull and want the car for 2-3 weeks. Also he hasnt tuned one before so who knows what obstacles he will come across.

I dont want to go into this blind if you know what i mean

I will contact SAS tomorrow see where they are up to with it.

I have FMIC

3inch ss exhaust turbo back

hi flow turbo steel wheeled and larger wheels

CDA airbox

boost controller

coilovers and camber kit

There isnt much else left for me to do just tune it.

I will do a thread on the car as soon as i am done modifying it

For sure a remap is the way to go, just not sure yet what the sas guys are going to play with. There are a lot of issues I have with the stock ecu, throttle being the major one, also the gearshift commands. Engine tuning is the easy part.

I think a Mines ecu would probably be worth the 2k asking price(if i had the cash) but I would still need some way of tuning it myself like emanage.

Mines is a bit too expensive and it wont be customized to your set up and ozy fuel.

I will speak to sas today.

Some one pm'd me re camber kit. It was from A&B motorsport brookevale. The car hasnt been on the dyno since most of the mods so i dont know what its making. It wont see a dyno again till the tune gets done.

i wonder how long it would take to get the ECU from aus to japan and back again after a remap?

i hardly drive the M35 these days and it might sit in the garage for a month between drives

Give it a minimum of 3 weeks

You should do it Iain, I could even trial it for you for a while if you like. :(

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
