  1. I'm looking to book in for an alignment somewhere not to far from North/West of Melb asap. It would be great if I didn't have to travel across the city for it... but I want it done properly the first time, without having to take it back.

    Any good or bad experiences, recommendations or places to steer clear of, please share.

  2. In case this helps anybody, I had no experience before taking to my interior with the 3M DiNoc, its amazing stuff to work with but can be a bit tricky until you get the hang of it. Buy a little extra to give yourself some to practice with...

    What I worked out to be verry effective was to have a spay bottle handy filled with water (room temp). Have it set to just lightly mist when you squeeze the trigger. When moulding the material around the corners of the parts and its hot, slowly work it by alternating between heating and misting to rapid cool. As the material will try to contract as it cools slow.

    ...It worked nicely for me, it's been on for over 12 months. looks brannoo ;)

  3. If you did, I reckon you eould have a few followers, me included. I have found that it is not as easy as you might think to dig up how-to vids on the 34. I always prefer to learn a bit about whatever project or mod that I'll be doing next, that way you don't need to repeat somebody else's mistakes.

    If u have any good resources, links or advice, feel free to pass em this way

    :cheers:

  5. 400kw? No, stock AFM is good for somewhere around the 220rwkw mark. At a guess you might have been reading something about someone who completely ditched the AFM altogether and went for a MAP sensor or something.

    As for your economy, there have been bucketloads of threads discussing it over the years, but particularly with a stock ECU 400km to a tank is pretty normal around town.

    I want to put in a PowerFC based on everything I have read so far, but it's something I will have to save some $$$ for first, when they do pop up, they're on the pricey side... but I figure if I'm getting better millage, the thing should pay for it's self in no time

  6. complete waste of time and money. also not possible with the standard ecu, your "nismo" mechanic is wrong.

    unless your maxxing your standard afm (not gonna happen on a stock car) and have an aftermarket ecu a z32 afm is gonna do more harm than good.

    I suspected as much, and also read that you don't need to upgrade the AFM until you hit about 400kw, so thanx heaps for clearing it up for me guys. Much appreciated.

    I am going to stick on an Apexi pod on the stock AFM and see how that goes. Unfortunately, I am one of the unlucky R34 GTT owners that is lucky to get 400km to a tank of fuel,

    so I will see what kind of effect it has on my millage and decide if it's worth keeping on, as my daily drive.

  7. i did mine, a few times actually..:D

    it wouldnt fit in my oven and i wouldnt recomend it anyway

    what i did was buy a 20$ heat gun form bunnings..the you just keep running it all around the seal for 10 minutes or so with out getting to close to melt the light of course..just keep it moving and get all the silicon very warm..

    Then when its all warm, concentrate on one end, the inside end (where the grill is) is best, warm it real hot then just hold the light between your feet and pry that end apart .do not try to pry the whole lot at once just do the end

    When you have opened one end work your way around heating a section and pulling it apart..should take 3 or 4 turns and the whole cover will be off.

    it really isnt too hard, but it takes patience, dont try force it apart, if the silicon is hot enough it will pry apart without too much effort..once the seal is cracked its easy

    Too put it back together just reheat the silicon and stick it back together you don't really need to put new silicon in..

    you can also use the heatgun to dry the condensation, but dont get too close..i made that mistake once and your light goes from fine too f**ked in about 3 second..

    ..im glad I read this thread cause its done it again so maybe its that little rubber hose causing my problems.. :thumbsup:

    Thanx ARTZ, I'll swallow my fears of the unknown and have a go at it, might try to get some pix to post for everybody else

  8. Hi everyone,

    as my question is related, i will ask this here rather than start a new thread.

    Is a full tune required if I fit a Z32 AFM on my stock RB25DETT NEO ???

    I want to fit an Apexi power intake pod filter, and I am not sure if I should go for the stock size, or to get a Z32 and a matched filter.

    I spoke with my Nismo mechanic and he said that a tune shouldn't be necessary, but i want to here what others have to say....

    Does anybody know of good places in Melb to get tune and stuff done? (i'm in west suburbs)

    Thanks guys
