That's interesting that it was only on 62 kWh cars. Maybe that has something to do with the battery pack hanging 40mm lower than the smaller ones?

Looks absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to videos of the Monster Leaf absolutely shredding some sand!

An air dam like the Chevy Volt might be the most sensible option: Though the Volt has a much less aerodynamic undercarriage than the Leaf, it's possible the gains from the drag reduction will be outweighed by the increased frontal area. Being a frequent lurker on Ecomodder has taught me one...

I think at least the Juke, Sentra and Versa have pretty much the same suspension as the Leaf. IIRC Altima and Maxima spare wheels fit the Leaf so their normal wheels should as well. And I know for a fact the Rogue Sport ( or Qashqai as it’s known this side of the pond) ships with identical...

I usually just press the "Status" button when on the nag screen. I don't know how it effects CarWings/etc. as mine has never worked.

The nag screen needs to be dismissed anyway, just press the button for any view/menu you want there.

What was the modification to make the wheel work? And how do the media controls map? I might be interested in doing this myself.

Is it the Unavi? Keep in mind that's only designed for the S trim Leaf, which does not have those features anyway.

Nope, the wires do go straight to the PDM, however part of them (between the Chademo port and the block connector show on the video) is not there on non-QC cars, Dala just bypassed that part. The VCM wiring is a bit of a hack but functionally identical to a stock car with QC.

It's made to mimic a normal automatic transmission car. It might be possible to remove with some advanced canbus trickery but it seems nobody has done it successfully yet.

The service manual for 2015 should be close enough, see here: https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Leaf%2F2015%2Fav.pdf

The ZE1 leafs don't have straight access through the OBD port to the CAN busses like the earlier ones did. OVMS people have been working on getting data, see here: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/323

Take a look at Dala’s inverter upgrade: https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade that can get you up to 160kW

A infotainnent system upgrade would geit you quite far, being an S trim it is actually possible. Also sound deadening will help for sure.
