Just picked up my car from the mechanic last night.

my car sounds so good above 4000rpm!

I got a spacer, z-tube and pop charger installed.

the pop charger sounds so awesome above 4000rpm....apparently these mods are meant to improve fuel economy...I can see its having the reverse effect!

In terms of sound, I highly recommend.

In terms of power gains? hard to say, Ill benchmark it against my mates car amd I'll find out

Awsum, how much did u pay all up and were bouts u get it done.

I got my service and install done at pro Concept West Ryde. They seem to be well regarded, and I agree. very professional.

parts were:

$295 for the motordyne iso thermal spacer

$295 for z tube and pop charger.

Standard install for spacer, tube and air intake is $140

But my spacer had an extra gasket and the popcharger had the heatshield...so was charged an extra 60 for the additonal labour needed ($200 total).

It will improve, But if you drive around with your RPMs above 4000????

Agreed~~ :)

planning for any exhaust mods? it would sound even nicer~ :)

gents,

the reason why I think fuel economy will decline.....

is cause I keep revving it above 400rpm, to hear that awesome growl!

4000?

shiiiiiet son I redline on take off! lol jokes

seriously though I'm getting an exhaust on saturday and I will be resetting my stock ecu so it can start remapping around the exhaust

no spare cash for an air fuel controller right now :)

congrats on the mods btw you seem very happy with them, any before and after dyno figures planned?

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
