Hey Guys

I just wanted to get some opinions please:

I just got some headers and HFC's and from what I've read, installing both of them would mean my V35 would be running very lean? ( My mods so far are: drop in K&N filter, Z Tube, TDX2 exhaust)

So I was planning on waiting to save up some more pennies, get the headers and HFC's installed then get it tuned ASAP at east coast customs in Brissy with the UP Rev software, so I may not damage the engine.

Am I being a bit too over the top about having to get a tune straight away? My V35 is my DD so it gets driven very often.

I would say doing an ECU reset would be enough to sort out any leaning issues. Its not like your slapping a super/turbo charger on the car thats going to boosting a significant amount of extra air through the engine requiring a significant amount of extra fuel to be added to the mixture

hmmm interesting, thanks for your reply guys. Looks like I may just get them installed without a tune then just a reset :)

What else gets reset with a 'ECU reset' though?

I believe Glen's ECU is in Texas because

Thats complicated! First run was 166rwkw without a tune.

My ECU didn't seem to like Uprev; it had a Master rom version they hadn't seen before so its with Uprev to get it sorted.

Only thing that gets reset is the learned fuel settings. And the dtc codes.

I would be asking serious questions why ecu is in Texas. I have been down the new map path twice with uprev, both completed successfully without the ecu leaving the car. Was my car, pnm35 and a adm pathfinder.

My bet is that they tried to flash a file onto the car from a different ecu and bricked it. Now they are trying to recover it. Hope your not paying for it.

Yep PN-Mad you got it in one. They have been really good about it trying to source another ECU (difficult because its a manual), and got it sent off to Uprev ASAP.

They are sorting it out at no extra charge to me, so I'll let you guys know how it goes. I've been happy so far with the way they have dealt with it; by being upfront and honest about it and trying to do what they can.

Luckily I've got a motorbike as well!

Good to knowthey are sorting it out. Hope it works out for you quickly and effectively.

Frustrating when they just had to take 2.5 hrs to dump the rom, send it off to uprev, and in about 3-5 days you'd have it back cracked and coded.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
