A Boy's Love For His Rb20

[Duncan]

I will be back, but probably not this year. The car is currently stripped so I figure I should meet the new tarmac rally cage regs before I put it all back together, whatever they are.

Might drop by for a beer though, it is just up the road these days.

Happy New Year ppl

 

Got myself in a bit of a mess. Can't fund a new 350Z DBW pedal locally so sort of stuck with what the next best option is. Want to ensure pedal position is at least as  good for heel-toe as factory

 

Measured up the std inlet and seems I need to make do with 400rwkws through a 60mm DBW Bosch throttle body

Nissan X Trail or G35 Skyline (plastic pad not alloy like the 350Z).

You'll need to drill 2x new mounting holes on the pedal bracket itself (same as the 350Z) and then manipulate the pedal rod itself in a vice till you're happy.

Here's mine after I sent it, note this is an older photo, I've once attacked the pedal and it sits a little lower.

IEE make a pedal bracket to bolt straight back in and sit the pedal in the right spot 

[R3N3]

+1 on the IEE option. He also has some of the right size grommets to block up the hole in the firewall. I would have done this over the 350z pedal had I known prior.

Is basically a modded standard pedal? Works for me if so

That’s the one!

So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway

Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.  

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?

[Piggaz]

People WANT to use Power FC’s in 2024? 😵‍💫

That has to be like sim racing with a gameboy.

[r32-25t]

I saw one of them in a museum in Tokyo 

[Roy]

Power FC is all you need.  All this extra fluff I'm installing is very masturbatory...

 

With the car off the road again there is waaay too much playing with something

[Duncan]

Are you *sure* all that will be back in by Bathurst?

[Roy]

Not sure at all when you think I just spent 2 days looking for a pdm rather than just I stalling a relay

Till the new ecu saves your engine with its engine protection and then you realize it’s worth double what you paid for it 

[blackrex]

What ECU and PDM are you using Roy?

Lol, yeh...the things we tell ourselves. I slap my motors together myself and havent lost one yet. ECU setup is worth 6 times any motor i have built....lol so....yeh its masturbatory 

 

Help me Steve, got an Emtron KV8 and thinking P14 Black Box with C127 or AEM ED7/ CD7.  Ive got my old Aim MXL and Race Technology DASH2 so no rush for dashes; next step is PDM with PWM as i still street drive the old girl and fuel does warm up with 550l/min cranking through the lines just potting around along with thermo fans

 

Lol justvspent 14hrs doing my wiring diagrams in CAD to help work out wtf im doing
