the 350Z ones are NOT the same. they actually come with one from the factory and it does NOT fit our car

Warren,

I still have your Stillen one sitting in my garage...took me close to two hours and a lot of cursing two weeks ago and stripped a nut on the strut tower (the one on the passenger side hardest to get to). Will have to find time to remove tht stripped nut to install it. :(

jon, what did you do?

it took me 15 mins to install, and even less to uninstall!

3 bolts either side. drivers side was unobstructed, passenger side i removed one bolt to get a hose out of the way..

Sorry to disappoint...installed it today on the 300GT, so the wife can have increased handling when bringing the groceries home :P

Removing the 3 bolts each side was easy this time round, but getting the damn thing on the passenger side was a bit of a pain. Warren, I had to change the settings a bit from yours as I believe the coupe and sedan may be slightly different. No way they were gonna fit with your settings.

hey Fox'

If you are interested you can get one from USA like the NRG brand. They are made to fit with the stock Engine cover and the cheapest one. I got one quoted US$225 shipped from USA.

So maybe a group buy? lol.

I'm in Melb.

The other brand i know is ARC. I read the people in US really swears that the NRG are good. but i don't know.

I just don't justify to spend a Sturt bar for nearly AU$500 unless we as Whiteline to make one for us.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
