Hello everyone.

I don't know about you but i like to roam You Tube and other streaming sites for videos on our wonderful car the V35.

If you have any videos of your car or great videos you have seen about the V35 post the links here.

I'll start with a few of mine

And this one i really like

Great vid... made me feel better about my efforts on the track too! It was almost satisfying to see a pro struggle to get the '05 hooked up out of the tighter corners, and I was feeling his frustration with the 2 lap ponies they call "brakes" on the 05/06... brake fade by lap 3 is par for the course for those without Brembos! A brake upgrade is a definite for any regular track day V-warrior and even if it's your track debut, my advice for those without Brembos is to put in the highest temp rated pads you can afford, they'll at least give you a couple more laps before your brake pedal feels like it's pushing on marshmellow!

Mine has brembos, fitted with QFM A1RM pads, and i didnt notice any brake fade at all (doing sessions of 5 laps at a time at phillip island). My semi slicks on the other hand were noticeably less grippy on the 4th and 5th laps.

Yeah I've talked with a few of the guys with 350z's and Brembo's lapping the same days as me, and none of them have complained of brake fade issues. I've learnt the '05 just has grossly inadequate brakes for the track (with no Brembo option offered in 05/06). I did try some QFM A1RM's and the RDA Slotted rotors last track day and got them so hot I literally melted the pad material from the backing plate (no good for rotor longevity)! I'm just trying to find some footage of me badly missing an apex or taking a run across the kitty litter to post on Youtube... though I fear vanity may have meant I destroyed the evidence!

But the '05 Brakes are plenty adequate for street driving and a decent set of pads will easily have your braking needs covered for a blast through some mountain twisties... just found some footage of me demsontrating that point through some of Tasmania's national parks. OK needs a quick edit and it should be up soon.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
