370Z hidden menus?
 

I was reading this article:

BMW?s On-Board Computer Secrets

This kind of got me thinking about the ECU on our Z's. I mean, it's pretty obvious the on board computer can display much more than it does. I've read somewhere on here som tedious way to reset/view your CEL's, never tried it though.

Anyone know of any other things like this? Surely some nissan techs have to know this and wouldn't mind sharing no?

I am with gaveup on this, I know the GTR has a few little secrets but never heard anything on the 370Z...So if anyone knows please share with us.

the Z has a invisable cloaking device but other than that I dont know it either =\

The VDC off button jettisons all four wheels while in motion.

Funny people lol...If the Z really has a cloaking device, than im getting a new license plate that says Predatr! lol

P.S. Give me some Rep Power baby!

Ooh! I saw a guy in an RX7 do this, it was cool! I want this feature!

i'm evil.

Phelan that is a unfortunate incident that someone went through, its very poor taste to even say that. Dont think youd appreciate it if it happened to you and someone did that.

Wow, so basically there are a couple people in this thread who don't care to learn more about what the ECU on this car is capable of, so instead of contributing, they make moronic comments (not nizzzmo as he seems to be getting at where I am going with this). Good job. Unfortunately, you're not very funny...at all.

Regardless of the morons, I've been trying to find something else about this, but nothing is really turning up.

gaveup dont let it get to you...Some people don't help but I dont think they mean any harm and are just joking...Ill look into it a bit myself, the technician that helped me with my GTR, Ill ask him about the Z and I will let you know what he says.

Frankly it's just more trouble than it's going to be worth in the end. A code reader is $100 if you're worried about CEL codes. As for any other 'hidden' features...what are you hoping for? I can't think of many exciting possibilities that I could 'unlock' from the ECU. More lives? This isn't Contra.

I think he's talking about the display and maybe showing different things like how many gallons of gas is in the tank, or how old the car is in days...That link for BMW explains what certain BMW's can display with some hidden data within the ECU. Also he was just asking a question.

Gotcha.

Well one feature I'd love is the ability to get more information on a single view. Why not have MPG, time of day, outside temp all displayed at the same time? It annoys the piss out of me that I can only see one at a time.

I agree, its a pain in the A$$ to go from one view to another, especially while driving.

This. I was joking, but in that, it draws attention to your thread. It's interesting, gaveup. I'd like to see how it comes out in the end.

Also, I disagree, I thought it was very funny :roflpuke2:
