Got the new 3.538 diffs in.....got some good umph now!!!!

My fears of the speedo being out are cured.....speedo and gps are exactly the same differences as they were before.

Care to explain how a change in diff ratio makes no diff (oh look, a pun) to the speedo reading? Am I missing something obvious?

Installed my new ECU this weekend.. NISMO Sportstune :banana:

Very first drive it is obvious the difference with the car being a lot more toey of the line. Best part to be experienced is in the mid range now coming on much stronger and faster.

Next step to put it on the Dyno and see what the AFR's are like and what the actual power out put is.

Is this enough power.. :whistling:

because (as i mentioned ages ago) the speed is taken from the ABS sensors on the OUTPUT of the rear diff. therefore no matter what ratio the diff is, assuming you dont change your rolling diameter, the speed will always be correct as the speed is measured after all the gearing.

where'd ya get that ratio, 34 gtr? I was thinking the same thing today.....

btw hills have a 4wd dyno. what computer?

Ratios are from then nm35 vq25dd or the pnm35....

....Hmmmm waiting for mark to give me a buzz back on the dyno.....to much longer and I'll be going to Victoria for a touch up!

The Nismo ECU's.. how do they go with economy? Better/worse?

Emanage is a piggy back...so it needs an existing ECU to control.

The nismo ECU has certain "awesomeness" in it that makes the car a bit better to drive....and speed cut too I think

Craig's car has the Nismo + emange combo...

better.......you have an economy setting, it uses the snow button!

Worse......the drive is a lot more inviting so you tend to get up it a little more.

I think the main thing is no speed cut and no throttle restriction isn't it?

Has anyone with the Nismo snipped the brake wire?

Don't need to worry about that now though... :whistling:

I think he means with the fcon, the stock ecu still controls the throttle though. There are 4 wires extra in the loom plug I can't account for which may make some changes, not sure.

Doesn't explain how the throttle changed on my car.

Both much more responsive and also more soggy depending on map selected...

Without the infometer you are only guessing though. It could easily be tune related.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
