v35 paul - did you do an ECU reset when you installed it? maybe hence why the stock one is trying to "learn"

and on another note-----

is there any difference between the CF Z-Tube and the stock Z tube item? (besides looks of course) im mainly talking about quality etc. is the CF real carbon fibre or just an overlay... etc.

Don't know how to reset the ECU.

The CF Z-Tube would have less heat soak then the stock Z tube and and any metal tube would have the more heat soak over time.

So this morning i woke up and UPS man was at the door with a parcel.

Finally the Carbon Fiber Z Tube i had ordered 1 1/2 weeks ago had arrived. I ended up ordering it from www.thezstore.com and it was $195 AUD delivered at the time the exchange rate was around 75c

The Z Store's tube is actually sourced from www.evo-r.net but they are cheaper. Evo-R.net are the manufacturers of this Z Tube. It is made from real CF and it is really well made as well. I peeled off the EVO-R sticker which came off pretty easy and left no residue. I like it to look clean, and with under bonnet temps this sticker will just fall off over time anyway.......

I went to work and got home around 11pm. I couldnt wait and seeing how easy the DIY was i decided to attempt this install.

It was a fairly simple and straight forward install. 15min later and i was done!

Finished the installation...... dammit i need to clean my engine bay!

and here is the picture of the part it replaces.......

see it is just not all for looks, these things actually increase the air flow, due to the stock part having so many resonators for noise etc. and hence provide a very minimal increase in power (and they make lots of induction noise now too WOO!)

I really like doing DIY...... it feels very rewarding once the job is done (especially for a n00b like me) :)

EXCELLENT write up i needed this information. How does it sound. Are you going to get the rest of the intake , i.e. spacer and filter?

How is the quality are you happy with it ?

the induction note is definitely louder as all the restrictive parts have been removed. you really only hear it in the upper rev ranges when you give it a bootfull....

as far as power goes, i really dont know cant tell. i already have a K&N Drop In Filter, i dont think i will spend the money on the popcharger etc. as when i get the supercharger it is pointless anyway

as far as quality goes, its pretty damn clean and nice. very well made.

the only gripe i have, is that the emissions tube is a bit further down and you have to like stretch the tube a bit further down, than where the stock item is placed. also you really need to stretch the accordian rubber parts in order to get a good fit, as IMO it doesn't line up as good as say the factory z tube.

Looks like you took out the resonator. Underneath the airbox correct ? Doesn't do too much, just quietens things down in terms of induction/engine noise.

I had mine blocked off but thought it hampered response, so unblocked it. I have no idea why, but maybe because the factory airbox design/flow relies on having the resonator there *shrugs*.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
