So i had some issue with the car intermittently dying. I traced it to the PTU (Coil igniter) which from what I have read on line can be a pain in the ass as they supposedly fail quite often. I have a few spares lying around so switched out the one that was causing the problem. Lots of guys online re...

What does it drive like? I bet the back tyres may not last long :D
Drives pretty nice man, only on stock boost at this stage. Just need setup boost controller.

Made a bit more progress on this thing. Fired up the car and noticed fuel leaking out of one of the stock injectors. Decided this was a good time to replace them. I scored some 550CC side injectors for a decent price, these are the newer style side feeds so you need an adapter kit to fit them to the...

What air temp sensor is that? Locally sourced?
You can buy them from NZEFI for $100, I got the same one they sell from eBay, it ended up coming from Lithuania but was only $50 odd. It's a Beru ST005, they are factory fitted to some BMWs and Landrovers.
Cheers man

Next job was to make up an exhaust. The dump pipes i bought off ebay included mid pipes so i was one third of the way there.

Next thing to address is the engine. The tired VG30DE had to go, it was leaking oil real bad and is slow. I had initially thought of throwing in a RB25 for something different but by chance ended up getting hold of a supposedly low km VG30DETT twin turbo motor for super cheap from the Mrs uncle who ...

A 300ZX - NA to TT good times

So I decided to get another project to muck around with. Requirements were it had to be Nissan, be cheap, have 4 seats (the 280Z is not overly family friendly) and be cheap. I have always liked the old Z32 300zx's so decided to go down that path, they are a love it or hate it car but Im cool with th...

Getting a few small jobs done over winter. Wanted to build a new front diff mount as the Datsun factory setup is a pretty crap design that allows the diff nose to lift under load. I had hacked a factory mount up and doweled it (essentially making it sold mount) but that was not overly ideal so had a...
