did anyone else go to the motorshow?

i was a bit surprised to see a genuine NISMO 350Z s-tune there. only had a quick look did they say anywhere that they would be selling it here?

yep, i went and had a look, the general feedback i have had from most that went was dissapoinment.

That Nismo S-Tune was my favourite car at the show!

it was a dissapointment, i thought the motorshow would be a bonus thing to do after the hills fang the night before but then of course it rained so no driving and then the motorshow had only a few nice cars.

i got a photo of that s-tune at home somewhere, ill grab it at some stage.

the astin martins were nice too !

got our first XR5 Turbo in to day!

doesn't look to bad - nice interior with recaro's. haven't been allowed to drive it yet though.

the salesmen keep on trying to tell me how much better it would be than my car (they don't like imports) it's got 166Kw at the engine, weighs 1400kg and is front wheel drive. not to mention its $35, 00 plus all the on road stuff so more like $40, 000, will have to take it for a drive hopefully tomorrow, then we'll see if i'm impressed

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
