I thought you already had a Z32 AFM?

Not yet.

CeJay perhaps this is an opportunity to trade your Z32 for his AFM + cash?

I would be up for that... I know that the one I have works perfectly. :)

are you able to post a pic of your catch can setup plz? Really need to get mine sorted out

Attached is an interesting read on the importance of crankcase breathers / catch cans... It should help with your new set up. :/

Ok so its taken a lot longer than I thought it would (due to money shortages and the daily driver failing me) but my cam gears turned up yesterday and the new Z32 AFM should be here today or tomorrow (if Paul comes through for me)...

This all means that Wednesday next week will be the moment of truth (dyno tune - finally). Yay! :P

Hello again!

Not really an update but... I bought a daily driver so if anyone sees me cruising with the top off my new Z31 300zx, give a wave! :)

You told me you had a zed, thats not a real zed and thats why it broke down.... Wait a minute...lol

OMG OMG OMG :nyaanyaa: lol tis alive????.......

Well, sort of... It starts and drives but its very cranky, definitely needs a new tune.

Not a real Z?? - The Z31 300zx is a true retro cool cruiser mate, there is nothing quite like cruising on a sunny day with the targa roof off... And it didnt break down - it failed its rego inspection :laugh:

i luvz Z31's...

just bought some 50th anniversary seats out of one! (xtreemly comfey)

What went wrong with it? selling?

Everything is for sale for the right price... :P

I was implying I cant talk, my car is basically an R33 Datsun lol. They are certainly good cruisers and a much better daily than a 240/260z, cops to drive but oh so much fun. :)

Ok, Its time to officially "let the cat out of the bag"...

After almost 14 months of blood, sweat, swearing and large sums of cash... Last Saturday I picked up the "Silver Bullet" from a certain performance workshop in Queanbeyan. :)

The former power figure (which a few of you may remember) has been eclipsed by more than 30rwkw (41hp) which is even more impressive when you consider that it is now running less boost! :D

I couldnt be happier with the final tune... And all of the extra work, bolt on parts, electrical bits, time and effort have finally added up to make a pretty complete package, it is an animal to drive (I'm still smiling).

I have to say a HUGE THANKS to:

James (DriftGTS)

Luke (Frink)

Mark (Bluprint)

Paul (DIRTgarage)

For all your help - Cheers! ;)

P.S. The reason I am being so criptic is because in light of a recent increase in stolen Skylines I would prefer to not disclose too much more info about my car... PM me if you would like to know more :)

Cheers,

Mick

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
