Could You Use A G35 Usa Computer In The V35?

[V35 Matt]

Could you use a G35 USA computer in the V35?

The reason i ask as it would open the Cobb tuning port stuff onto our vehicles and possible some real gains for tuning without being $$$$$.

What ya think?

[whtbox]

i'm not sure if it'll work because the current tuning they have are in different octane term than ours.

But i could be wrong as i never read anything from the 350z guys using the 350z USA ECU.

PS> I'm guessing you are talking about the ECU not the Dash Computer?

Wouldn't make any sense to use the ECU. I'd say the US dash comp in order to get screen etc in engrish.

Sorry, im talking about the ECU.

Cobb tuning say the Acess port is only for USD vehicles / ECU and i hear they arent too bad to unleash more of the plenum/tube/exhaust mods.

I have a US ecu in my 2003 sedan, part of the conversion from 8 speed to 5 speed auto. Type 1

It runs well, good fuel efficiency no pinging. Have not checked on a dyno though.

Need to also think about pollution control differences, my engine light is always on due to not having fuel vapor control. Eventually will find someone to turn it off.

Being 2003 model, only had to get the security number from Nissan. May be bigger issues with later models.

Hope this helps.

I have an 03 coupe.

Just thought it might be a way around the flashing issue.

The code no doubt could be deleted if scanned.

hi guys. Has anyone gotten any further with this?

I own a 2003 v35 350GT. I'm a noob in ECU management and interfacing. And would like your opinon/ suggetions for the questions below.

1. Are the ECU's for the M35, V35 and 350Z similar?

2. Are these ECU's interchangeble after tuning?

3. My ECU/ OBD currently talks Consult (or so i have been told). If i could change the ECU, would the OBD connector then talk in the standard OBDII ? (I would love this, as i could then use my android tab with the Torque App)

Any advice is appreciated.

What's the point?

Are you trying to tune, or get a replacement ecu?

Even within models there are many multiples of ECU part numbers, there are awd models, auto, manuals, etc. I don't see a lot of compatibility happening. The computers are physically the same for the vq35 models, and any model of that can have the program ripped, and sent to Uprev to decode and provide a tuneable file.

[cruiser_350GT]

hmmm...thanks for that info mate.

the only question i have left is, what's the best way to display live Engine data while driving? I was looking for something like Torque or similar on Android.

Any specifics will be great.

[scotty nm35]

Ahh... Torque would work I think...

The 3.5 is obd2 compliant apparently, so any reader should work I guess.

[cruiser_350GT]

hi Scott,

mate are you sure that a standard OBD EML327 cheapy from ebay would work on my 2003 Skyline V35 350GT ???

any specifics i need to look out for on the Torque App? only asking, coz i have tried a fair few times on my Samsung tab 3 with a ELM OBD Bluetooth thingy. I doesn't read the protocols and keeps going round in circles.

No idea, all I know is the 3.5L was able to keep being produced after 04 due to it being OBD2 compliant, unlike the VQ25. I assumed the standard OBD2 readers would work.

If they don't you are stuck with the usual Greddy touch or HKS OB link units, both of which work on the 2.5det. I have an OB link here I am trying to sell actually. Check it out..

[cruiser_350GT]

I have been wanting to play with a HKS OBLink. you have a pic? or specs?

can't find your link...
