Up for sale is my brand new Tanabe Revel VLS OLED Wideband gauges. I have 2 of them available. I bought them last year from ConceptZperformance, but never used them nor even opened the box, so they are still brand new in seal. Selling because I decided I don't want to use a wideband gauge for now. They cost roughly $460+ each delivered. I am looking for $350 pp or if local can drop them off. Please PM to contact. Located SA 5037

Yea it looks like my best bet is going to be just doing it at a track day or something. No way I would want to privately hire a straight part of the bend, just any track day tickets alone cost an arm and a leg lol Haha, I may or may not have done this several times already lol But, yeah i need a large road because I am testing my cars launching stability issues, its been sending me violently sideways, so its a bit dangerous to do on the streets. The reason why i prefer to go somewhere more suited like a track or something, but was hoping it was more private then a track day with many other people.

No, all the drag strips have been closed here for over 1 yr and it still looks like its a long way away till any open up.

Does anyone know if there is a place in Adelaide that we can hire out to legally test our veichle at high speed in a straight line. Just want to do some testing and diagnosing on the car. I was thinking a small airport may allow it? I have heard of in the past that Regency would get you to hire out such a place for vehicle stability testing and brake testing. I am unsure where that is and if the public can hire it for their own pruposes.

Can you link me to this infinit fb group please?

Well the new Q60 RS is a different motor all together. Uses a VR30DETT engine, they moved away from the VQ37. Unfortunately Nissan has not adopted that engine yet in any of their veichles although SEMA has converted one of their Nissan 370Zs to this new VR motor. TT setup is not cheap at all. If you go via the RevZone or CRD package, they have a walk in walk out price of roughly $16K. But that does not include any supporting mods, you want reliability and safety you will be adding, oil coolers, exhaust system, fuel system, injectors/pump, maybe upgrade radiator, clutch if manual, trans cooler if auto. Possibly alot more like I did. SC is much cheaper, but not as potent as the TT builds going around.

Very nice, is that with the VQ37 or the new VR30DETT infiniti Q60? Is it Stillen+A2A kit or is that with a turbo kit? Could you give me a link to it, I would love to see more deets, where he had it built/tuned etc. Thank you.

I know several people in Australia who went the stillen route. But with the stock original stillen kit you will only get around 280kw, and the stock kit is very bad in design and dangerous for your motor. Just do some research on it. If you want to make 300-320kw on the stillen kit you have to switch to A2A setup which there kits available for you to convert the Stillen to A2A. Then and only then will you have a chance at 300-320kw. And ontop of that, there is alot of issues with the reliability of having the kit operate as such. I know more than 2 people in Australia who went that route and all the trouble with it. One of them has already ditched the Stillen + A2A upgrade for a turbo kit all together. Oh and if you want to know how much better a turbo kit is than the stillen supercharger, just read here aswell: https://specialtyz.com/blog/?p=2887 But if you want to keep costs down to minimum and want the ease of install, and do not care about expanding power further then for sure go the Supercharger route.

I know which ones you are talking about tbh. Just remember those Zs for sale use the older GTM TT kit, that company has gone under a few years back so you won't get any support for that turbo kit, not to mention it was a bit dated in design. I went for the AAM competition TT kit, it is the best kit up there with the Fast Intentions kit in terms of reliability/design and efficiency. And they are still supported, so you always have help from the manufacturer. So going for this newer kit, was half the reason I payed dearly for my setup, but it may or may not worth the extra $15K or so it has costed me to have it fitted, not realizing it would cost me alot! If you were to do the build yourself and save the $ on labor, then for sure get a AAM TT or Fast Intentions TT kit. Otherwise, get the GTM TT 370Z going around for $40K or what ever they were. BTW, I am only 1 of 2 in all of Australia who has the AAM Compeition TT kit for the 370Z, and now that it is all finished, it sings wonderfully! 360kw @ wheels on 12 psi and no engine knock according to dyno tuner! Room for more, but im gona leave it here.

Hey mate, let me explain to you, that doing this build was in no way cheap! The cost ended up being ludacris! Getting the kit+all the supporting mods (exhaust system, fuel system, pump, injectors, other bits n pieces, + a new quaife diff) was already close to the $25K+ mark. And then after all the trouble fitting the kit because it required so much modification to fit on a RHD veichle etc etc, all the teething issues, all the tuning issues, 15+ months later, I have finally got the car properly working and running well at 340 rwkw. But the cost was about $45K+ parts n labor! If i knew this, I wouldn;t have ventured into this platform and just chose something else that is more supported. It could be done cheaper in NSW or VIC, I am sure, but because I am in SA I was the guinea pig and payed dearly!

Ahh damm. Yeah. Well, my Pilot Super sport tyres was also not liking the extra power with VDC OFF. I kept going easily sideways when smashing the pedal. I changed upto Potenza RE71R and now I almost feel like I am on Rails!

Well it was definitly a Ecutek throttle cut feature. It happens because something has gone hairy with my rear wheel alignment. Both rears had something like -18° camber, so it didnt take much hard throttle to totally spin sideways and Ecutek was fully cutting throttle. With VDC off, the throttle cut does not occur but then the car would go mentally sideways. The alignemnt is now fixed up properly by a proper high performance alignment centre. Lesson learned, do not goto Pedder's suspension for a wheel alignment.

Looking closer at my logs it seems injector duty bank 1 momentarily shuts off just before the AFR on bank 1 goes lean. So I am guessing something is turning the injectory duty bank off or it is not working correctly when it reaches 43-48% duty cycle under load, but only for a split second before it starts working again.

Yes Ecutek does have the ability to 'cut throttle' when it detects certain dangerous conditions. My tuner has even told me has setup failsafe on my tune. I just don't know if that has actually occured in my situation above, or something else is going on.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if it is a misfire, I do know that Ecutek will momentarily cut throttle on the Injector Bank 1 when this situation occurs.

Does anyone know why my car will briefly but quickly and suddenly go lean on Bank 1 AFR under WOT as shown in the graph below. As you can see, only the AFR on Bank1 spikes lean but only momentarily then goes back to normal rich condition, and that only happens under WOT. Anyone know why that could be happening? Thnx Car is Nissan 370Z Twin Turbo

Anybody here with an Ecutek cable they willing to lend or rent out, so I can get my tune finished?

Thanks, will try to keep progress updated here. Yes I agree also the SC setup would be less stress for my engine and trans. But I did my research on the turbo builds, and as long as the install and tune is spot on then I am good for upto 370rwkw on the stock motor, and around 550nm on the stock trans. So you had a trans built by Level 10 and then imported here from the them? Sheez, the shipping fees must be huge? Can you remember what u paid for the shipping? That was one of the biggest killahs for me, when I used their checkout system online for a built RE7 trans for my Z, the shipping quote alone was $3K USD. I was like screw that lol. So my best bet is to have the Level10 rebuild kit shipped down, and then have MVA automatics in SA here install it.

Yes you are correct a Supercharger kit is cheaper and easier than having the turbo kit fitted. But what lead me to the choice of the TT setup over the SC kits is the fact that boost is not created equal: http://specialtyz.com/blog/?p=2887 In short: -the SC setup will only reach around 300-315rwkw max, not much room to grow from there even with the modified A2A conversion done by TopGun for the 370Z SC kits. Whereas, I can always grow the turbo setup way beyond that, ofcourse after building the engine in the future. -boost is not created equal, the SC setup will make most of its power at higher revs, where as this turbo kit I am installing has minmal lag and hits full boost at 3K-3.5K RPM, max power is seen much more early. Hence more power under the curve!

Just the TT kit alone, not the other mods listed cost $10K USD, plus shipping and import/gst fees ontop. The kit is rated for 400hp per turbo, so 800hp in total. Obviously I will not run it anywhere near that level of power on a stock motor. The guys in America are hitting 677whp on 93oct with this kit on a stock motor, and they have lasted years of abuse so far. As a mater of fact, the very first 10.91 second 370Z in america was running the FI TT kit (similar to this AAM TT kit) on a stock motor and an Auto trans, that was back in 2012 and to this day that car is still running strong and racing in events. The key, is the tune! I am only looking for ~340rwkw with an Ecutek tune and e85. Should be easily possible with this kit, so I do not need an aftermarket ECU. As for the trans I am not exactly sure how long it will last. These trans can handle upto about 550nm torque, anything more than that and I would be getting a bit worried. It is the same 7sp auto trans that they use in the Nissan Patrols and Infiniti Q50/Q60 400hp Red sports models. I will have to get the tuner to adjust the line pressure to prolong the trans life, and or adjust torque tables, aswell as proper cooling. With all that hopefully it will last, if not I will cross that bridge when I get there lol I am only planning to run under 10psi. These engines respond really well to boost, but they don't really like going over 13psi with out a built bottom end. Reason I got the 4 BAR map sensor was because I am planning to convert to speed density tuning, and I am not sure if the stock MAP sensor is adequate and accurate, and AAM only offered this 4 BAR Map sensor to me so I took it. Reason for upgrading the flex plate and not the trans, is because back around 2011/12 there was a guy in Australia who had a 430whp TT 370Z with a stock trans and his flex plate kept cracking until he used a billet flex plate that was custom made by a mining company. I really do p want to upgrade the trans but starting to run dry now on the cash front lol. So I am hoping a good trans cooler, the flex plate, and line pressure adjustment will prolong my trans until I can afford to build it. The problem is nobody in Australia upgrades these Jatco RE7R01A trans. So my option is to either swap it out for a different auto trans and adapter plate (don't really want to do this) or import the rebuild kit from the states from Level 10 or IPT, 2 companies who make upgraded auto trans and trans parts for the 370Z. The TT kit includes everything needed to drop it in and turn the key, so yes it includes the exhaust manifolds, it deletes the factory cats for straight down pipes. The CBE will bolt up from the down pipes.

Is this the Red Sport and does it have the same Jatco 7sp Transmission as in the 370Z?

Hey fellas, interesting thread here. I am currently having the AAM Competition TT kit fitted to my Z. Really wish there was peeps down here who could make a full single or Twin Turbo kit for our VQ37s, could have saved shit loads rather than shipping everything from the states.

Hi, I been looking around to see if anyone in Australia has fitted the AAM Competition Twin Turbo kit on their V/G37 or 370Z? I have a shop atm currently fitting it to my 370Z, should be ready in a few more weeks I think. Please look at my build list: AAM Competition TT RHD system AAM Competition R-Line (oil-to-water) cooling system AAM Competition 4 Bar MAP sensor Fast Intentions 3" TT TDX Cat Back Exhaust System Fast Intentions Billet Aluminium Flex Plate 7AT OEM GTR Spark Plugs CJM S1.E Fuel System ID 1050x DW Fuel Pump relay wiring kit Aeromotive Stealth 340 lph Fuel pump PWR transmission Cooler Upgraded TQ Converter Quaife ATB LSD Whiteline Diff bushing kit Z1 Urethane Motor Mounts Z1 Urethane Transmission Mounts Z1 Subframe Bushing Collar Z1 Premium SS Brake Line kit Eibach Sway Bar kit I want to know if others have had the AAM Competition TT kit fitted on the VQ37. I know their have been plenty of Stillen SC kits and GTM/Gamma TT kits fitted across Australia to the VQ37, but would be really interested to know if anyone has fitted the AAM kit. I could be the first? Want to know what issues they came across if any, and what power they made. I am planning on a Ecutek tune on e85.

Is Viva Garage in Melbourne still around?? Been trying to contact them for awhile now and there facebook posts seem to be inactive since March.
