what hoses did you use. same again with the vq35?

Yeah, but G35/350Z are the same.

I used the Mishi silicon kit - http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=5319&Car_Type=G35&UID=20121225212428182.239.175.146

Kit is good. Had to cut up the top hose to fit the temp sender I'm using for the thermo fan controller, and the hose from the overflow bottle to the neck of the radiator is a little long.

If you're going to do it grab some emery paper too just to clear off any corrosion. I'll do a write up soon but I didn't get many pics this time.

can someone confirm that would this fit on the vq25 at all. http://www.ebay.com....=item4cf97b023a

Don't think so. Our fuel system has a return, which I'm pretty sure the VQ35 doesn't have.

You won't need to upgrade the fuel rail for a while though, plenty of time. I think Scotty is still using stock rail just twin Walbros and larger fuel hose?

thanks for the info ryan. Good to have great knowledge on topic as you have just done your cooling system as its next on my list after dump install and 3 inch exhaust.

No worries. If you're going to do the radiator I'd suggest deciding now if you want air conditioning or not. Because no air con will save you a lot of hassles :P

I may have found the cause of my boost spiking.

Twice now I've found the drivers side hose that connects the plenum to the standard fuel reg disconnected, and another hose loose.

I've cable tied the hose for now, guess I'd need to replace it eventually.

Actuator in. Would have been a 5 minute job if someone at Nissan had given us an extra inch of space around the actuator. I can see it'd be a nightmare job if you still had the stock intake, but Andrew at AM Performance designs all his stuff to work around bolts where possible.

Looks like the boost controller needs an adjustment so that it knows the new actuators default is 15PSI.

I'll give it a decent drive tonight and try and get that actuator into the mail tomorrow for you Scotty.

Just bypass the boost controller solenoid for now, and let me know what boost it's running without bleeding air off. Plumb it back in before the dyno, but don't drive it hard before tuning it mate, it will run much more boost up high in the revs...

I haven't got a boost gauge - well, I have the stock boost gauge, but it needs soldering up again and I don't think it goes high enough.

Just took it for a short drive after resetting the boost controller to min 15PSI, and dialling the max down slightly to 16.5PSI.

I'm not sure if it's boost spiking, or creeping, or wtf it's doing, but the EVC is reading boost hitting a peak of 20PSI - no higher.

Staring to wonder if it's a plumbing issue. Trying to work out what I changed between everything working, and it first getting tuned. Only changes I can think of were the MAP sensor being tapped into the hose going to the top of the BOV, and fixing up the hose to the stock boost sensor, which had the EVC tapped into it. Everything else is the same.

Yeah kinda wishing i bought ironpaws set not too long ago. Ah well

I've got a spare from when I smashed one. Send me a PM or grab a set of 100mm Narva spotties and mod them to fit. That's what I did.

quick question guys, previously i have gotten mechanics to do the oil changes on my car as its been in there anyway but i'm gonna do this one by myself. What i would like to know is where to get the crush washer for the sump plug from. Will they have a suitable one at supercheap or is it a genuine nissan design that only they sell at rediculous prices??

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
