I thought you already had a Z32 AFM?

Not yet.

CeJay perhaps this is an opportunity to trade your Z32 for his AFM + cash?

I would be up for that... I know that the one I have works perfectly. :)

are you able to post a pic of your catch can setup plz? Really need to get mine sorted out

Attached is an interesting read on the importance of crankcase breathers / catch cans... It should help with your new set up. :/

Ok so its taken a lot longer than I thought it would (due to money shortages and the daily driver failing me) but my cam gears turned up yesterday and the new Z32 AFM should be here today or tomorrow (if Paul comes through for me)...

This all means that Wednesday next week will be the moment of truth (dyno tune - finally). Yay! :P

Hello again!

Not really an update but... I bought a daily driver so if anyone sees me cruising with the top off my new Z31 300zx, give a wave! :)

You told me you had a zed, thats not a real zed and thats why it broke down.... Wait a minute...lol

OMG OMG OMG :nyaanyaa: lol tis alive????.......

Well, sort of... It starts and drives but its very cranky, definitely needs a new tune.

Not a real Z?? - The Z31 300zx is a true retro cool cruiser mate, there is nothing quite like cruising on a sunny day with the targa roof off... And it didnt break down - it failed its rego inspection :laugh:

i luvz Z31's...

just bought some 50th anniversary seats out of one! (xtreemly comfey)

What went wrong with it? selling?

Everything is for sale for the right price... :P

I was implying I cant talk, my car is basically an R33 Datsun lol. They are certainly good cruisers and a much better daily than a 240/260z, cops to drive but oh so much fun. :)

Ok, Its time to officially "let the cat out of the bag"...

After almost 14 months of blood, sweat, swearing and large sums of cash... Last Saturday I picked up the "Silver Bullet" from a certain performance workshop in Queanbeyan. :)

The former power figure (which a few of you may remember) has been eclipsed by more than 30rwkw (41hp) which is even more impressive when you consider that it is now running less boost! :D

I couldnt be happier with the final tune... And all of the extra work, bolt on parts, electrical bits, time and effort have finally added up to make a pretty complete package, it is an animal to drive (I'm still smiling).

I have to say a HUGE THANKS to:

James (DriftGTS)

Luke (Frink)

Mark (Bluprint)

Paul (DIRTgarage)

For all your help - Cheers! ;)

P.S. The reason I am being so criptic is because in light of a recent increase in stolen Skylines I would prefer to not disclose too much more info about my car... PM me if you would like to know more :)

Cheers,

Mick

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
