Hi guys,

Im just wondering if anyone here has got or heard off the following mod's . And if so is the performance alot different to the standard .

Thanks in advance for any help.

best to check out the v-series skyline section. a large portion of the stuff here is more RB related than VQ.

however any general induction and exhaustion mods will reap good gains as most cars come with restrictive systems from factory.

Thanks for that , where is the v-skyline section ??

I believe the standard exhaust system for the VQ engined cars is pretty good from factory, limiting gains for aftermarket parts.

No there not very good at all, exhaust and headers will see good gains.

On the induction side of things all the jap tuners seem to stick with the factory airbox, panel filter and a 350z intake tube, where as the yanks all swear by the JWT pop charger (pod air filter with cold partition.

Personally i think mine went a little better with it on.. ill hopefully be doing a back to back dyno on tuesday should be interesting.

A computer or unichip with a good tune will also see good gains.

I saw some pretty good gains with my catback on the Z33 just by itself, equal to when I did the extractors and cats and had my Unichip retuned to suit. The catback was a lot cheaper to do, though.

The Popcharger is great for noise, but does sweet FA for power from what I could feel. You're better off with just a drop-in K&N filter, performance-wise.

Hey alan,

Just had mine on the dyno again with the pop charger on this time and a different exhaust and im 10kw's down across the board. The exhaust change went from cannons to tri-flows at the rear the rest remained the same, headers to 2 1/2" pipe, highflow cats and x pipe. Might look into a brand name exhaust down the track, i still hate the exhaust note currently, it sounds like a bloody honda... and i would like that 10kw's back...

Fark, that sucks. I'd want that power back too - its not like we started with that much.

I heard a Fuji catback on mxfly's Z33, and I really like that note it made. It had a distinct turbine-like sound to it, kind of like Holden V8s do. It sounded really good.

I don't know what he was running north of the catback, since the car was being returned to stock for sale, but it wasn't particularly loud either.

Hey guys, I THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS UP.... im still under the cloud wether to go f/i or keep the vq as a N/A breathing machine...

After hours on the net browsing different options, ive come past this, its still preety new in the states and not many guys have done it yet.....

The main problem they are finding is that this set up genreates alot of heat -though a simple custom airbox could do the trick like the one below found in on an alfa(pictured below)...... i know F/I is the easiest way to get horsepower... though the N/A sound is one that i cant just let go of.. especially after i get these tomei headers...

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
