Hi,

A few things.

How have people found their experience with CZP? Feel free to private message if you don't wang to post publicly. Did everything get delivered and in good condition and what is the quality and figment of their parts like?

Secondly, their outer rear tie rod ends that delete the ball joint in favour of poly bushes, anyone used it before? If so how was it?

Lastly just to confirm, this will work on a 32 GTST with HICASlock bar correct?

I have bought a few consignments of things from Coz at Concept Z. It's a while ago now, but the transaction was every easy, and goods came packaged well.

I'm sure you'll be able to find lots of information if you look at the US Z and G forums.

Plenty of feedback on aus300zx.com too, generally though people are very happy. I grabbed a 120k mile service kit a few years back that was on my door in about 4 business days, definitely no complaints here. Also worth looking at Z1 motorsports & Courtesy Nissan.

That looks a bit odd, it's basically replacing a ball joint with just a pivot? Is that going to work properly when the suspension compresses and expands, with all the associated toe changes etc.? Am I missing something?

I installed one of these HICAS Eliminator kits instead of just a lock bar: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Total-HICAS-Eliminator-Kit-for-Nissan-Silvia-S13-S14-S15-Skyline-R32-R33-R34-/161489904354?

It also replaces the outer end with a bush but there is a rose joint at the inner end, effectively replacing the ball joint but at the opposite end. From what I understand this is a similar setup to OEM non-HICAS rear end.

I should have mentioned that I'm running a GKTECH lock bar and inner tie rods, so they have rose joint spherical bearing things same as the kit u pictured, which will compensate for loss of ball joint during suspension travel, I think?

Thanks to all for the replies so far, keep it coming :)

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
