A cold Air intake system on your car will cost $790. (NM35 2001)

I spose that isn't too bad, if the system gives good results.

We can also piggy back an aftermarket ecu and boost controller plus tune for $3000.

woah, that sounds pretty over the top, unless they are using a top of the line ECU / Boost Controller.

Just some food for thought, if anyone wants to know who quoted me this as you are interested send me a PM :laugh:

EDIT 1: I've just emailed them asking what brand/model products they would use for this fitout.

FYI, I'm still talking to the chap who was going to do the tune on "project axis"

Says he's almost ready (99%), but needs to source a CPU ex Japan as backup insurance. I believe I saw a couple on Importmonster this evening, and there was also mention of a half cut import being brought to WA. The ECU should be available shortly.

He's talking a whole lot less that that figure.

As a matter of interest, I found a company that says it can address the slow launch on drive by wire cars.

This is a small part of the tune offered by the tuner mentioned above.

I'll let you know how it goes when we move forward.

I was quoted today $1500 for a Haltech Interceptor and Dyno tune. I thought this sounds quite reasonable.

Don't our cars already have a cold air intake? That is why the intake sits above the radiator for air under the front lip of the bonnet.

Ok, sounds like the Powerduct at $180 would be a good buy.

Cheers

Yeah, I thought they were having themselves on.

I'll await the reply as to what products they have quoted on using, that will provide even more of a laugh I think :down:

CAI for $790? Sounds expensive. Further info?

eg does it include a pod filter? any cutting in the engine bay performed? Is it legal?

Piggyback ecu for $3000? I think I know who you have been talking to.

I believe that they use the Haltech 350z Platinum as a piggyback in that particular install.

You would be better off buying an eManage Ultimate with additional sensors and get you turbo hiflowed for that kind of money...

Unless it is a ViPEC install & tune

bloody expensive...you can redo your turbo and ECU for cheeper.

I only have the ECU to go :down:

+1 :P

I thought you could put it in yourself? Am I wrong about this?

send cameron (iamhe77) a PM. he has a good DIY cold air intake on his car!

Cam put a pipe underneath the airbox, unfortunately thats where I placed the catch can. Im making an alloy powerduct today, hopefully it looks better than just leaving the hole open.

You would think it would be that easy wouldn't you?

Suuuuuuure.

Maybe you could move it to the other side Scotty?

Hey Cam,

I noticed your link mate... one question in the first photo your air filter is blue... mine is pink... hahaha

I'm guessing colours don't make a difference here? But I'm going to try out what you said about the rest... Good work! ahaha

I thought you were going to ask "one question" Lachlan.

My filter is an Amsoil Nanofibre filter which I find to be quite good.

Most of the pink ones are from a general service and are throw away items.

Colors don't make a difference at all, but wha the filter is comprised of makes ALL the difference :blush:

Haha, sorry Cam. Got a bit ahead of myself.

Ok, I took the airbox panel off a while ago.

But the other part will hopefully be done this weekend...

is there anything else I can do to make my stag go harder that isn't to do with electrical?

http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/f/S/ag_07shelbygt_coldair.jpg is that illegal?

Something like this could go well! hahaha http://www.torquenstein.net/viper_for_sale...ir%20Intake.jpg

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
