best to check out the v-series skyline section. a large portion of the stuff here is more RB related than VQ.

however any general induction and exhaustion mods will reap good gains as most cars come with restrictive systems from factory.

I believe the standard exhaust system for the VQ engined cars is pretty good from factory, limiting gains for aftermarket parts.

No there not very good at all, exhaust and headers will see good gains.

On the induction side of things all the jap tuners seem to stick with the factory airbox, panel filter and a 350z intake tube, where as the yanks all swear by the JWT pop charger (pod air filter with cold partition.

Personally i think mine went a little better with it on.. ill hopefully be doing a back to back dyno on tuesday should be interesting.

A computer or unichip with a good tune will also see good gains.

I saw some pretty good gains with my catback on the Z33 just by itself, equal to when I did the extractors and cats and had my Unichip retuned to suit. The catback was a lot cheaper to do, though.

The Popcharger is great for noise, but does sweet FA for power from what I could feel. You're better off with just a drop-in K&N filter, performance-wise.

Hey alan,

Just had mine on the dyno again with the pop charger on this time and a different exhaust and im 10kw's down across the board. The exhaust change went from cannons to tri-flows at the rear the rest remained the same, headers to 2 1/2" pipe, highflow cats and x pipe. Might look into a brand name exhaust down the track, i still hate the exhaust note currently, it sounds like a bloody honda... and i would like that 10kw's back...

Fark, that sucks. I'd want that power back too - its not like we started with that much.

I heard a Fuji catback on mxfly's Z33, and I really like that note it made. It had a distinct turbine-like sound to it, kind of like Holden V8s do. It sounded really good.

I don't know what he was running north of the catback, since the car was being returned to stock for sale, but it wasn't particularly loud either.

Hey guys, I THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS UP.... im still under the cloud wether to go f/i or keep the vq as a N/A breathing machine...

After hours on the net browsing different options, ive come past this, its still preety new in the states and not many guys have done it yet.....

The main problem they are finding is that this set up genreates alot of heat -though a simple custom airbox could do the trick like the one below found in on an alfa(pictured below)...... i know F/I is the easiest way to get horsepower... though the N/A sound is one that i cant just let go of.. especially after i get these tomei headers...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
