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 :)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
