Big day for the Z today, went on the dyno at Specialised Auto Services for the NZ Datsun dyno day. I've been mucking around with a tune a bit over the last two weeks, got the timing map better after being told by the internet expects that my current map was "aids". Was having trouble getti...

The doors on this have always rattled when they're closed and I couldn't figure out why everything looked okay, the doors on the white car close way nicer. Turns out under the plastic in the door strikers is supposed to be some other kind of bush and mine must have perished. Wish I'd bought new scre...

First trial of the 3D printed manifold, it needs a bit of tweaking but overall it's pretty good.

I've been mucking around with the mechanical fuel pump covers, I'll probably put this one on the car but I might make another and engrave it. https://i.imgur.com/nJJlvPz.jpg Also made some titanium gear stick bushes out of some scrap. https://i.imgur.com/mMYN7aT.jpg Got the manual pedal box and stee...

Turns out I ordered the wrong cam angle sensors, they still fit but the plugs come out in different directions, the engine actually uses 4 or 5 sensors that are basically the same so I've swapped them around so the ones visible on the top of the engine match. Drew up and cut out some engine mount pl...

Made up a little carbon plate to block up where I removed the dash light dimmer etc, it's probably only temporary but it looks okay. Started putting the other bits of the dash back together too, I saved a bunch of screws from the Laurel interior when I scrapped that so I'm using some of those to mak...

OK cool, I think NZEFI can still tune Nistune. They were more saying they didnt like to because it was an inferior product, probably they also like selling new ecus. My car was on their dyno the other day and they started tuning but my boost kept creeping and the clutch started slipping at about 29...

Hmm well I don't have the measurements of anything to double check but they look reasonably close.

Look up Moonlight Racing, Jessie Streeter or Import Monster. It will end up costing you probably double the auction price all up.

Link do a plug in RB30 ECU, that would be the closest to a VG one. NZEFI would know that though. I think the plugs are the same as the VG ones,

Long shot buy If anyone is able to find an r35 intake manifold id love to try make one fit the 300 They're reasonably cheap on Yahoo without the throttle bodies, that's why I asked. I've seen people fit them to VQs but they're more closely related. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r2369...
