v35 paul - did you do an ECU reset when you installed it? maybe hence why the stock one is trying to "learn"

and on another note-----

is there any difference between the CF Z-Tube and the stock Z tube item? (besides looks of course) im mainly talking about quality etc. is the CF real carbon fibre or just an overlay... etc.

Don't know how to reset the ECU.

The CF Z-Tube would have less heat soak then the stock Z tube and and any metal tube would have the more heat soak over time.

So this morning i woke up and UPS man was at the door with a parcel.

Finally the Carbon Fiber Z Tube i had ordered 1 1/2 weeks ago had arrived. I ended up ordering it from www.thezstore.com and it was $195 AUD delivered at the time the exchange rate was around 75c

The Z Store's tube is actually sourced from www.evo-r.net but they are cheaper. Evo-R.net are the manufacturers of this Z Tube. It is made from real CF and it is really well made as well. I peeled off the EVO-R sticker which came off pretty easy and left no residue. I like it to look clean, and with under bonnet temps this sticker will just fall off over time anyway.......

I went to work and got home around 11pm. I couldnt wait and seeing how easy the DIY was i decided to attempt this install.

It was a fairly simple and straight forward install. 15min later and i was done!

Finished the installation...... dammit i need to clean my engine bay!

and here is the picture of the part it replaces.......

see it is just not all for looks, these things actually increase the air flow, due to the stock part having so many resonators for noise etc. and hence provide a very minimal increase in power (and they make lots of induction noise now too WOO!)

I really like doing DIY...... it feels very rewarding once the job is done (especially for a n00b like me) :)

EXCELLENT write up i needed this information. How does it sound. Are you going to get the rest of the intake , i.e. spacer and filter?

How is the quality are you happy with it ?

the induction note is definitely louder as all the restrictive parts have been removed. you really only hear it in the upper rev ranges when you give it a bootfull....

as far as power goes, i really dont know cant tell. i already have a K&N Drop In Filter, i dont think i will spend the money on the popcharger etc. as when i get the supercharger it is pointless anyway

as far as quality goes, its pretty damn clean and nice. very well made.

the only gripe i have, is that the emissions tube is a bit further down and you have to like stretch the tube a bit further down, than where the stock item is placed. also you really need to stretch the accordian rubber parts in order to get a good fit, as IMO it doesn't line up as good as say the factory z tube.

Looks like you took out the resonator. Underneath the airbox correct ? Doesn't do too much, just quietens things down in terms of induction/engine noise.

I had mine blocked off but thought it hampered response, so unblocked it. I have no idea why, but maybe because the factory airbox design/flow relies on having the resonator there *shrugs*.

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

      Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
