frankencar + ecu

[unknownpmp]

okay it's a bit warmer out and i'm up, so i'm gonna go install the intake. I just wanted to know how long should a keep the battery disconected for, and is it necessary for the ecu to be reset. Also i got 2000 km till next service and wanted to know which dealers in the GTA you guys go to, do they care about aftermarket intakes or are they cool. I read a lot on 2k2 MAFs going bad but haven't heard anything on the 2k3s yet. I just wanted to know cause if my MAF does f$uk up down the road i can see the dealer blaming it on the intake.

on the 5th gen, the only true way to reset the ecu is using an OBD-II tool (or nissan's consult2 computer).

i read that the FSM for the 5th gen says to leave the battery unplugged for 24 hours to fully reset the ecu.

what i did when i re-installed my intake (the same day i got my y-pipe), was disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes and then turned the headlight switch to ON and held the brake pedal down to relieve any capacitance in the electrical system. don't know if it worked, but the car felt 'better' after a day of ripping it through the rpm ranges.

there's a few dealers that are cool with mods (although i have yet to visit any of them with my mods on as i just did the last service myself):

Morningside Nissan
Alta Nissan Richmond Hill

i think the MAFs on the 2k3s are the redesigned units that the blown-2k2s were getting. akrus had his 2k2 MAF give up the ghost and he got the new one no hassles.

hope that helps

Go to Morningside Nissan and speak with Joseph (service manager; he's cool) and tell him that you were referred by people at the Maxima forum. They will modify your car (even with turbo or s/c and not void your warranty. Only thing is, they are too expensive so I take my car mostly for warranty work.

Leave your batter disconnected overnight. That worked for me.

bring earplugs on the testdrive

here's the deal guys

after leaving the battery disconected for 45mins(time it took to install with coffee breaks) all was okay when i started up no SES light or anything. I don't know if it's the foam Monstetr filter or what but this thing roars. Just got back from a test drive and i love it you can kinda here it at low rpms 2k-3k and when you get by 4k+ it realy let's loose and roars down the road(LOUD). I thought my car was fast before but now it's fast and sounds nice too. at low rpms in 5th on the highway you can hear the intake if you got the radio off only you get on the gas but nothing that's gonna bother me. The intake kicks a*s looks good sounds good you name it. Now i'm just thinking on what to get next. RSB for sure gonna be my next mod in a month.
