As a few guys may be aware I went to the east coast of the US for 5 weeks and dropped in at the SEMA show in Las Vegas on the way back. For those that may not be aware, the annual SEMA do in Las Vegas show is the biggest automotive aftermarket show anywhere in the world. Over 25,000 exhibitors means that it is impossible to see everything in the 4 days that the show is open for, you just hit your personal highlights. I had penty of those, considering that I brought back over 12kgs of brochures and catalogues.

Over the next few days I will attempt to load up some of the 300 or so pictures I took at SEMA and add a few details on my observances. This being the SAU forum, they will be mostly Nissan related with an emphasis on the new stuff that I saw, some of it for the first time.

Hope you find it interesting.

Cheers

Yep, usually the end of October, early November. Next year is Tuesday, November 4 to Friday, November 7, 2008

The SEMA show is trade only, so make sure you register well before hand. You can't just turn up.

350Z's are huge in the US, cos the Z33, the G35 and the RX8 are the only decent RWD japanese sports cars they have available to em atm.

we're kinda spoilt for choice with 2000 - 2002 model R34's, RX7's, S15's, Supra's etc.

I doubt the 350Z revolution will hit Australia as hard as it has hit the US, where its now being used for circuit, street, rice, drift and showpony use. That said there's heeeaps of parts from the US and japan available. 350Z's are oddball in japan... there's lots of parts and support, and lots of tuner built demo cars, but hardly any that are built up on the streets.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
