R35 Tuning Development 2010

As some of you may know we are in the fortunate position of being an Alpha/Beta development partner on the AccessTuner R35 GTR tuning program. There have been some amazing advances in the software over the past 12 months with some serious improvements to the actual base code of the Nissan management system being written in to allow big gains in both refinement and power production :P

So far there have been some amazing updates to the tuning of these cars which simply didnt exist before -

- Proper data logging and measurement of engine Knock

- Rewriting of the GTR boost control system to use RPM vs Wastegate Duty Cycle

- Redesigning the internal load calculation to run big 1000cc injectors without upsetting TCM torque signals

- and this latest effort, boost correction with both gear and throttle position

Specifically engineered into the code at the request of some of the track guys this new parameter in the GTR system allows much better chassis balance mid corner, where previously there would be 15psi of boost at part throttle and at three quarter throttle, now the boost and the attitude of the car can be regulated with the pedal position allowing much better transition of grip to slip. We have tested this on the dyno so far and look forward to testing on the track next week when time and weather permits. These features will be available to all Cobb Accesstuners once Alpha and Beta testing has been completed :D

Exiting stuff Martin.I feel we are all pretty lucky to have Willall just over the border.Now off topic but after reading all the NAGTROC posts relating to gear box issues with the circlips and seals and the damage their fallure causes do you recomend having these parts changed out asap and are you abel to give a ball park cost if the car was sent to you.From what I read there is a feeling amongst US owners that it should almost be a Nissan recall repair.Would appreciate you thoughts Martin.

This is not about Willall - it about the Cobb AP product which many Australian companies sell and some can even tune. We can just bring the news earlier since we are on the development team. For 35 owners information is power :P

If you want my advice on the transmission design issues then start a new thread on the subject and we will go from there.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
