awesome car dude, it's good to see someone persevering with these cars when so many put them in the too hard basket.

I still think they're a great platform

[MagicMikeZ32]

Thanks mate, I cant take all the credit for this one, bought it with engine built, just improving on it

After building my old red zed and then getting defected (and subsequently parting it out) I wasnt going to do the whole lot again from scratch

[Redline_GTR]

Amazing car mate!

Looks like you have some very nice pieces on the car already.

Will be happy to see you continue to build this up

[SCR48]

Definitely the nicest Zed I've seen. Too many poor examples getting around these days :-(

[MagicMikeZ32]

Scored a HPC coated plenum with 55mm throttle bodies the other night. Been looking for a throttle body upgrade to complete the breather mods for a while now

Also I still have to sort of the ducting to the side mounts.

[MagicMikeZ32]

Winning at Gram Lights. Also Work nuts. 18x10s are 9.5kgs. Nuts are 22g each

[SCR48]

New wheels suit it really really well.

[MagicMikeZ32]

Yeah I am quite liking them! Not over the top, just cleam

[MathewZ]

why 2 AFR guages?

[MagicMikeZ32]

Becauseracecar

Because v6, 2 banks, 2 intakes, 2 exhaust manis. Already noticing some variations between the 2. Particularly at idle and light cruise. Not small variations either. Need to swap the sensors over and see if the readings swap also. Hopefully they do and its just a sensor on the way out.

[Redline_GTR]

Wheels look amazing mate!

[MagicMikeZ32]

Thankyou!

Picked up my new plenum with 54mm throttle bodies yesterday

Only downside is now I have to do another plenum pull

[GH05T]

love a good z,

[Tyranus]

Being a former TTZ owner myself this is great. I love seeing heavily moded Z's. Need more big power Z's in oz.

[MagicMikeZ32]

So I removed the plenum on Sat, to swap over for another with larger throttle bodies.

Got it all back together Sat night (before the cruise on sunday) and couldn't get the idle down below 1500rpm. I am assuming that it is the butterflies on the new throttle bodies that are leaking

Going to have to swap them out again so I can at least enjoy driving the POS over the holidays.

[PranK]

This looks the goods. Watching with interest.

[MagicMikeZ32]

So after boost leak testing everything, in sections, all I found was a pin hole leak in one of my new hardpipes. Other than that it is tip top. Idle issues seem to have been resolved with a simple TPS reset. Voltage was correct, but wasn't getting a throttle closed signal.

Haven't test driven yet, pointing to should be good tho!

[MagicMikeZ32]

Also finished the hks dli install and new (propper tt z32) plugs. Don't get me started on z32 plug choice.

Very keen to see how it tunes up.

No E85 cheating bs here

[Redline_GTR]

Good to hear mate.

Will be glad to hear how it all goes
