lifters or valve spring issue? Guessing it's not been driven under load or had fresh oil in that time? Best to remove cam and timing covers to inspect the valve train.

Put in the correct ecu

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-multimeter---digital/387595.html One of the best tools to own when trying to diagnose electrical issues. A quick google search and almost every basic problem is fixable with out asking questions on a forum. I miss the times before the internet was everywhere.

You've been told what you need to do to check the sensor is right. When you're relying on people to diagnose/repair it there is never a correct answer/solution with out doing some of the work.

I'll add to what Greg has said as I was recently looking at new cars and ended up with a 370z to daily. Compared to driving a modified 90s import that I have sunk far too much money into the new car has a lot of great things like cruise control, good economy, steers brilliantly, interior is nicer and goes decent for what it is without any of the hassles but I'll always have the old cars there for the nostalgia/tinkering factor. Another thing was value for money you get a lot of car for the money these days. All cars with have pros & cons with each one but comes down to what you want it for. I have found that having a one nice car (370z) & one practical do it all car (d22 dual cab) is necessary. I love driving my s chassis' but I don't think I could go pay what people are asking for them these days for what you get.

On a tight budget that is a good foundation this is what I would start with: Id1300 Injectors Nistune ecu HPX/r35 AFM Walbro 460/bosch 540 fuel pump Port standard exhaust manifold & external gate Turbosmart 45mm external gate Garret GTX gen2 3076/G30-770/ HyperGear ATR45SS-2 Turbocharger Quality Front mount Exhaust Probably wont make a reliable 600hp without a built motor but solid foundation of supporting parts for future upgrades. I would only use the plazmaman plenum on standard runners and not a knock off greddy/short runner inlet and if you want more features later on a Link G4x plugin would be the go

^Do this but gen2 , Walbro 460/bosch 540(draws less current)and top feeds. I can help touch it up.

I feel you there had to get rid of my street triple. Most guys I know have moved to Harley's for that reason as they ride nice and comfy for daily commute. With a set of pipes the neighbours will appreciate it every time you start it.

Nice buy, having a haltech it may have a few other things done to it. What's the plan for it?

Definitely, pretty spoilt for a good choice of coffee roasters locally. Spent a good part of the day in the shed getting fiddly jobs done to get the sil80 rolling. Had to sand the brake calipers as wasn't happy with the finish so a good sand and another coat of paint they came up a lot nicer so tomorrow will put on the new stickers and clear coat. Made good progress welding in the braces. Did a lot of them with the tig but struggled doing a few small ones with the mig. Got 4 left to do on the cradle tomorrow before prep for paint. Odered the rear knuckle bushes and ball joints as well as organising custom brake lines. Hopefully can keep up this pace.

With the AR1 I run them at front 32 & rear 30 (255-40-17) but my 180sx is a lot lighter and less power, the suzuki swift we run around 28-30 (225-45-17). May need to go up in size if sticking with them. I used the hankook z222 in the past and found them a good compromise for street & track. How big a tyre can you go? With the oil issue have you looked at putting a breather/fitting in the oil cap or off the side of the passenger side cam cover?

Confirm its running lean with a Wideband first If lean check the following: -Vac hose is on fuel reg -It has around 43.5-45psi of fuel pressure at idle (Plumb in a guage between the filter & fuel rail) -check fuel pump filter -Depending on what fuel pump it has it may need the relay mod & correct wire size -Plug into consult port and check AFM voltages (google search for pc software) -Take it to a mechanic that knows what they are doing (Does not need to be "Import guy"... its basic stuff to fault find) All simple stuff

Work meister S2R is what they will most likely be

There's a 2018 M2 competition up here that was just traded....... Sure they would give top dollar for the skyline

Got the first layer of paint on the calipers, will let them dry for a day then apply new stickers and clear coat. New coffee machine showed up too today. Got sick of plunger and espresso pot. Goes alright with week old grind will get a few different beans as got a few local roasters

It's looking like it is, Nissan did a 370 demo car with one for sema https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/news/nissan-370z-project-clubsport-23-packs-twin-turbo-v-6-sema/amp/ If going to buy something get a demo or slightly used that was one of the things when I bought this as was a demo but was priced well and got it heaps cheap. Sshhh you, I've already got 3 turbo'd Nissans and they provide enough headaches.

If it's just a generic exhaust Bob Parkes at aitkenvale or if a custom stainless purge welded see Ben @ Ground up motorsport

yeah a lot of work. Not really wanting another turbo car ATM. If needing 4 seats and don't mind the service costs the Euro stuff is the way to go.

This is the amount of effort needed to turbo one of these properly. A big improvement in power.

Going up to Cairns in a few weeks to recce Targa course so will take the gopro.

Bang for buck the nitrous is a great idea, plenty of bolt on kits. If you go a bigger shot you can do a wiring mod to AFM/IAT sensor and use part of the IAT correction map for more fueling/timing control

Yeah went full baller and got the nismo as its got a few nicer bits on it and by the time I bought a 2016-2018 sport & added a few bits it was around the same money. Got the 7 speed auto as over daily driving manual. Nissan says 245kw but with in my experience headers, exhaust & tune gets around 220-230ish at the wheels. Driven a few 350/370 with stillen superchargers & twin 2860s (350-440kw) and they are amazing, lots of down low torque & still nice for daily driving. For what I am doing with it (Daily/weekend club track day like my old S14), its great the way it is. Once its out of warranty (2024) may look at more power but I've still got the all the cheap S chassis stuff to work on and do silly things with?
