Hi all,

I have been speaking to Riverside Infiniti about obtaining a batch of Motordyne ISO 5/16" plenum spacers shipped out to Melbourne. These are by far the most highly recommended spacers for the VQ35 and deliver great bang for buck for an n/a upgrade. The ISO version is a tad more expensive but is better for reducing heat issues which can only help in our cramped engine bays.

With today's shitty exchange rate, the cost is around AU$400-405 delivered for each unit. However, if I can get interest for 5+ units together, we can get them for about $370-375 each, depending on the day payment is made.

Interested parties should let me know by COB Monday and be prepared to transfer money to my account for payment if they want to be involved. They would also need to be prepared to pick up from me in Elwood or North Fitzroy. I have also posted this on the 350Z-Tech Australian Classifieds Forum.

Thanks,

Max.

interested with the ISO thermal version.. How long will the shipping takes? How much for deposit?

Shipping will be a couple of weeks I guess and I would ask for the full amount of $400 up front so I'm not out of pocket. I would refund the difference on pickup if we get enough takers.

According to the website here http://www.motordyneengineering.com/G35.php

it can add 12-14HP, now is that require an aftermarket piggy back system like SAFC or not?

I don't think they require any computer modifications.

I'm not even sure if I wanna join in, gotta stash up some money's as my fate on my current job might get decided over the next few weeks...

Sounds like another corporate downsizing exercise is coming...

But for you guys I found this instruction how to install them yourself... if you don't want to send the car to a mechanic.

There are two guys on 350z-tech from Sydney that are interested so a Melb and Syd order could be made if there is 5 in each location.

Exactly :down:. The way it is looking i think we will just about manage 5 in each location.

Annoying that I can't edit the first post.

Yup OK - I've done my reading, researching and procrastinating. The bank balance says this is good opportunity so I'm def in for an ISO Copper.

Melbourne Pick-up.

^^Noted. Damn annoying SAU.

Melbourne seems to be sorted if everyone confirms.

The Motordyne Copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer for the 2003-2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan and 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe adds 12HP-14HP and reduces the effect of power robbing heat soak by thermally isolating both the upper and lower plenum. Its 5/16" thickness provides the best overall performance and is fully compatible with your engine cover.

All Motordyne Iso Thermal systems keep your upper and lower plenum cooled without the risk of throttle body freezing when driving in cold weather.

Use the Copper if it snows in your area.

i think the main point/difference here, is in the last line?

That's as I understand it. You can choose whichever one you like. I think ISO is the pick for Australian conditions, unless you regularly drive to the snow.

I'll update you in the Sydney buy.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
