Nissan Leaf Regen in the RX8 EV

So looking at lots of upgrades, done some digging into the canbus logs and looks very simply like putting the Leaf motor into reverse makes it regen! Simples!
EV RX8 and future project updates

Sorry it has been a while, tonnes going on and not sure if I am coming or going. RX8 is brilliant to drive, new motors and inverters and projects to look at in 2023 ;o)
Upgrading my RX8 to the 160kW Nissan Leaf drivetrain part 5.
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.2 года назад
So after blowing a few things up and going on holiday, I now have the parts to replace the relays and pre charge to get back on the road!
Unexpected pre charge issue...
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 года назад
So my pre charge resistor is dead, was this why my inverter died? or did the resistor die as a result of the inverter death? Not sure I could ever find out without putting the old inverter back in place...

I keep improving the car, and it is a right laugh to drive. Managed to find a couple of bugs in my throttle code - one was causing slight hesitations at full throttle and the other was losing me 20% power.
First 100 Miles completed in the Nissan Leaf / Mazda RX8 full electric vehicle conversion.

    Could it be possible to remove the rear seats, and place the batteries there? Then you can remove the rear doors as well and replace them with custom panels that are much lighter. I think you could get a lot more range that way and then you'd get back your trunk space, obviously at the cost of making it a 2 seater

How much range do you estimate you could get if the batteries were all fit in the back seat area? Would it be possible to disassemble and fold over a 100kwh Model S pack and fit it in that area safely? Wondering if the much smaller size of the RX8 would lead to 400mi+ range. Is there a software that can estimate this sort of stuff or where should I look to? Thanks again!
