when i was typing "look him up!" i was assuming that people would use the zilvia search engine lol.

VQ35 ECU Rom Tunes / Anti Theft (Key Code) Removal - FreshAlloy.com Forums

Seems to be the answer to all of the wiring/anti theft problems.... That is if this guy can do what he says he can do. Already sent him a PM to reprogram mine for turbo.

GSXRJJordan · 05-30-2009, 12:34 PM

Wow, that sounds great! Keep us posted

irax · 05-30-2009, 05:36 PM

FUCK YES! wait... I'm probably still screwed I bet he can do it only to 04 maximas and 03 350z and newer. that seems to be the going trend.

Im sure he can do the 02 ones why not?

irax · 05-30-2009, 06:08 PM

maybe, if techno square can than I'm pretty sure anyone can. UpRev does not support 02/03 maxima ecu's nor does JWT(other than just a basic tune)

95 maxima se · 05-30-2009, 09:52 PM

im keeping an eye on this, ill be buying this kit soon

95 maxima se · 05-30-2009, 09:59 PM

you can used the turbo xs UTEc with the 02/03 maxima ecu too

UTEC is a piggyback not a ECU flash. It won't deal with the NATS.

anyone question or approve of his credentials yet?

I've never dealt with him but he has been around for a while on FA. From his previous posts over the years, the guys is very knowledgeable.

irax · 05-31-2009, 10:43 PM

He is from XAT racing... if that has any credibility to it.

Personally I'm willing to give it a shot just as long as it is what he says it is then it doesn't matter.

This thread needs more cowbell!

Quick chat with Bardabe at the BBQ meet (btw great meeting you bro) was insightful. Hoping he gets what he's asking for done so that we can get the ball rolling on this great project.

Well I am negotiating with him now, unfortunately if I do have him do the reprogram it will be awhile before I can credit him as my car is nowhere near completion if all goes well so someone else may have to take the plunge before me and give a review.

GSXRJJordan · 06-03-2009, 09:40 PM

Damn Ib, that sucks. Are you limited to that ECU because you went VQ30? I assume a VQ35 car would have a different harness/more expense?

95 maxima se · 06-03-2009, 10:18 PM

irax i think your in maxima.org right? im really confused now lol. ok here goes, theres lots of 4gen maxima with vq35 swap, so if i buy your kit+FWD vq+z33tran, i can use a 4th gen ECu right and wiring harness or am i wrong? well thats what ive read in the org. let me know because soon ill be buying ur kit but i have more questions

Yup, that sounds about right. The harness matches the ECU. Worst case, your lower harness tranny plug wouldn't match up (RWD vs FWD) and you'd have to splice in a couple wires, no biggie.

irax · 06-03-2009, 10:49 PM

the problem lies with the 5.5gen ecu. it is an easier ecu to wire up than the 6th gen maxima ecu. in that there is no can lines for 6mt ecu. and unlike the 7thgen you don't need IPDM like the 350z's either.. so basically all you need to wire up is the bmc,nats and everything else should be fine. i don't know why i'm complaining i know for a fact that technosquare can manipulate the 5.5gen ecu for what i want. but it still requires the bcm and nats to function. Atleast I can still tune it.

my swap is a 2003 maxima block using a 2002(5.5gen) maxima ecu.

4th and 5th gen maximas are vq30de-k
5.5 gen and on maximas are vq35de

if you want a super easy vq35de swap.. swap over the vq30de-k timing components and call up JWT about tuning a 3.0 ecu to run a 3.5 with correct valve timing and everything. I have the wiring diagram that JWT uses for the 3.0 ecu's and its very simple. The reason I am not going with a 3.0 ecu/timing is that I want to smog the car. Why don't I go with 350z ecu? i don't know I probably will when the car runs later on since those ecu's can pretty much be tuned like standalones now.

and by wire up bcm/nats i mean plug it into the harness and give it correct power source

SinisterSntra91 · 06-04-2009, 05:57 AM

Why would you do this when the guy said he can eliminate all the need for a BCM, NATs etc...?

irax · 06-04-2009, 07:39 AM

he can not do this on all vq ecu's

i think he's just using the uprev software

I THINK

if i am correct then he can only work on 05 350z ecus and newer
and 04 maxima ecu's

rb25crazy · 06-04-2009, 09:49 AM

that's still a great thing no? those motorsets will come down in price and are better no? lol that's what he says at least. i havent really seen any 05+ motorsets though for cheap they are like 2.5k or more lol....

95 maxima se · 06-04-2009, 11:31 AM

well im getting a sick deal real JDM VQ30DET, does anyone know if you can bolt a z33 on a jdm VQ-T motor? i know ive seen vq30 bolt on to a z33 trans

Bushido · 06-04-2009, 01:37 PM

yeah z33 trans will bolt to vq30det

where did you get the engine from?

95 maxima se · 06-04-2009, 02:27 PM

from this guy on another forums

yeah you can bolt on the z33 trans to that vq30det and you can use a US 96 maxima ecu to wire it up too.

95 maxima se · 06-04-2009, 03:43 PM

sweet thanx bro ill be buying the motor soon then by the z33 trans and then ill be buying for kit

irax · 06-04-2009, 04:01 PM

np, let me know when your ready.

i PM'd that martin guy if such deletions are illegal in california, i'm still waiting for an answer but i wanna see if anyone knows on here.
