Ahhh...looked familiar :sorcerer:

What's happening on the induction side of things - is that a single throttle body manifold I spy?

Are we also going to MAP load sensors sir?

Hypertune Plenum and CNC'd runners and single Hypertune throttle body with 97mm butterfly.

No MAP sensors...new Z32 AFM's actually...it will work.

sooo would love to know what that set you back mate.

pm FTW!

here's a list...you work it out

BLOCK...sonic test, chemically clean, torque plate bore and hone, mill block, drill and tap for 12mm main studs

CRANK...new Nissan crankshaft, drill crankshaft to remove alloy oil plugs and tap for screw type

ENGINE...JUN pistons pins and rings, JUN conrods, JUN oil pump, JUN main studs, ARP head studs, Tomei cam cap studs, new Nissan oil squirters and bolts, TRUST "drag" head gasket, JUN metal inlet exhaust gasket kit, Nissan gasket set, Hi Octane 9 litre baffled sump.

HEAD...machine for cam lobe clearance, remove oil plugs thread and grub screw, full race port and polish, modify combustion chambers and high polish, instal bronze guides, cut 3 angle valve seats, lap valves and set heights, JUN camshafts, JUN titanium retainers, JUN valve springs, Tomei lifter buckets, Nitto stainless steel valves (1mm oversize), Mines cam cover baffle kit.

EXTRAS...full engine balance and assembly, fit front Cusco 1.5 way diff to new sump, port match all manifolds turbo's and plenum, TRUST twin entry "drag" intercooler, Hypertune race plenum, Hypertune 100mm single throttle body, NPC twin plate race clutch.

I already had the turbo's (HKS GT-RS) manifolds and dumps which have been ceramic coated from our last engine. These have only done two passes and are as good as new.

As you can see nothing has been left to chance.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
