Nothing earth shattering unfortunately;

Back to full soft on the BC BR front dampers after stepping up to the stiffest setting on the front sway bar. Got rid of the slightly darty response on some uneven surfaces. No real loss of turn in response, but much less "busy" on rough stuff, and I can always stiffen it up in seconds anyway.

Replaced the two bumper rubbers on my fuel filler flap P/N; 78837-AG000. The original ones were flat as a tack, and as a result the fuel flap never sat flush with the rear quarter; always a bit sunken.:down: Just a small detail, but it's been shitting me for ages.

Dropped a couple of Nutserts into the front bumper support to replace the holes I tapped to fit the mount for my trans cooler. Nothing wrong with them, but the Nutsert will be much more resistant to stripping out due to vibration than the holes into the soft alloy. Another thing that's been bugging me for a while.

Other than that; I also picked a length of 50x50x5mm 316 stainless angle to start manufacturing Heavy Duty rear sway bar upper mounts!:banana: More on that soon.

Im interested to see pics of the HKS 350z turbo setup, most of the intercooler and piping wont fit by the looks of it but it comes with a fair bit of gear. At least you will have known results and great quality, the 3037 is a perfect size imo. What are your plans for the gearbox?

Engine out job for sure to fit the manifolds. Hopefully you can confirm they are stock VQ25det items.

I have taken inspiration from this kit for my adapter to fit the GTX3071 and external gate, hopefully I can jig it up and sell for anyone else wanting to upgrade to a Garrett as HKS aren't making any more kits and parts aren't available anymore. For mine you would just need the Tial housing (as it will make it much easier to fit and have better wastegate flow.)

Yeah, the piping might be a headache. It has been made to work on a V35 auto, so I'm not trail blazing. Basically 3 areas of concern (for me)- the outlet from the turbo fouling the LHS Driveshaft, piping to and from the cooler, and I think the Exhaust comes in on the same diagonal as a Z33, which means I might have to add a little/take a little to make it sit right.

I'll get some photos of the relevant spots for you Scotty asap. Don't expect the kit to be fitted overnight... I pretty much bought it because it was being discontinued and I couldn't not buy it at that price :whistling:

Gearbox will get a service/flush, and a cooler. We'll see how that holds up, It will be running really minimal boost, as per HKS recommendations, cause I don't want a rod out the block... As for building it up, well, i'll let the wallet recover first!

But If anyone finds one of those 4.2 stroker GTM motorsport FI sets that they want to give me...:ninja:

i also need to do this so interested in the part number.

my Air con stinks and I have a feeling this may be apart of the reason lol

Get the one carbon one that filters out ozone. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/129786-air-con-filter/page__pid__5429174__st__60#entry5429174

I thought the great big hole in the sky was letting all the ozone out, but apparently there's still some down here & it's not good to breathe :unsure:

Thanks mate appreciate it!!

Easy job replacing the cabin filter? Did you buy a cabin filter from Ebay?

Yeah the Cabin filter i got was one of the ebay ones, Charcoal Carbon Filters US$24.83 shipped to OZ

Where's the Second fuse box????? I know of the one behind the battery, I know of the one down near the accelerator pedal. Where's the other?

In my head the Fuse boxes are"

1, Driver Footwell Kick Panel

2. The Rectangle Box in front off the battery (Maybe more of a Relay box but theres fuses in there)

3. The box behind the battery on the firewall under the wiper trim, this is the one i didn't reliaze was there (which is probaly considered the main one)

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
