Does anyone have or know where I can get the above. The handbook with all my equipment is in Japanese. Pages 13-19 are on where to put the hose connectors in the inlet manifold in lieu of the AFM's, and this I'm particular in need of translation.

Can anyone help pls?

This discussion is for install on twin turbo RB26DETT setup.

English translation for Powerfc? Not gunna happen Mike unless you pay for it yourself as far as I can work out anyway. These Apexi ecus' are touted for domestic consumption only therefore no need for instructions in heathen tongue.

However, having studied my instructions at some length & being in the same boat as you (linguistically challenged) I have come to the following conclusions.

1. Page 15 diag., shows the inlet manifold disassembled but I doan wanna do that.

2. Page 16 diag., shows location of sensor tapping points offset from tdc approx 30degs either side of centre on cylinders 3 & 4, possibly immediately adjacent to injector inserts but definitely on that piece of hardware. (Engine side of throttle bodies) Point 2 on this page gives tapping drill size for 1/8"NPT nipples as 8.4~8.5mm which sounds & measures up good enough.

3. Page 17 diag., goes into some detail to show you that the sensor nipple whilst being drilled & tapped into these locations suggests that you should not screw the nipple in so far as to protrude into the manifold passage & disrupt air/fuel mist flow characteristics. Good idea. Like flush with inner wall is ideal & as far as you should go with fitting nipple. For my money it also suggests you should use a quality heat & solvent resistant thread sealant. I would go further to use a sealant that does not set solid as you may want to remove nipples later & don't wanna be ripping aluminum thread out whilst doing so.

4. Page 19 diag., shows sensor transmitters fitted to injector harness shroud at locations close by cyl 3 & 4 tapping points. Another good idea as impulse lines generally speaking are best kept as short as possible. All good so far but it is up to you to work out how to attach transmitters to injector harness shroud. Some tune shops use cable ties. Tacky but I have not decided what I will do yet.

Because I don't want to disassemble inlet manifold down to the last nut & bolt I am in the process of deciding how to attack the actual drilling of manifold in place. Accurately. Twice. With a big fat metal ripping drill.

There is another option which is to use a FESTO 5mm threaded portion/4mm tube connection (part # 3562, type CK-M5-4) instead of the nipple supplied in which case you can do the deed with a much narrower diameter drill. 5mm tapping size, possibly around 4mm drill size. The internal diameter of both these fittings is around 2mm so no drama there. FESTO products are used most often in the Food/drug production industry on electro-pneumatic control systems. (Know anyone in electro/mech maintenance at the breweries Mike)?

Else Google for Aust., supplier in your area. These fittings come ali or steel. I would pick steel for strength as they are somewhat delicate in you knock them with a spanner.

Anyway whatever I do the first exercise is to precisely mark (centre punch) & drill (pilot hole) for eventual final sized tapped sensor point. To do this I will need a longer than standard twist drill bit & may even hand drill with egg beater arrangement so's to have total control of swarf & when to stop.

Having drilled to final diameter the rest should b a p of p. Apart from small matter of wiring into 2nd AFM input when instructions give physical pin locations & not pin numbers. Just have to trust 'em I guess.

PS: I have heard a rumour that some back sliders tap only one hole &/or tee into an existing vacuum line off the manifold but I have yet to discover the exact vacuum point. In any event I am reluctant to part out $200 on something that is plugnplay. Happy to fork out for dyno tuning time but.

See photo's of RB26DETT manifold in place for locations.

Happy drilling. :happy:

Graham, thanks for your comments and I am sure you are correct in all instances. I used to have a Japanese boarder for 5 years and now for the first time they could have been useful. Never mind.

If I get anything done I will let everyone know.

On another topic, have you heard anything about JE forged pistons? I am about to build up my RB26 for my Datsun 240Z.

Also BOV's - anything you can recommend (? Greddy R or Blitz etc)?

thanks Mike

Nah, sorry Mike. My knowledge is limited to research :) into D-Jetro 'cos I bought one & discovered it was all Jap to me. Don't suppose you keep in touch with your boarder? Or his sister maybe? :laugh: BOV choice would come further down the track when u zero in on exhaust setup wouldn't it. You could always checkout the tech faqs on this forum & then the "for sales" on this forum. There would be heaps of guys out there that could advise you otherwise I'm sure. If they could get over the thought of a 26 in a Z car. :) Me, I'm up for anything into anything if that's whatya wanna do & may the force of your motor be with you. :happy:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
