Has anyone installed the MotorDyne one yet? I've got mine but the mechanic is telling me its best installed when the engine is stone cold - i hate to be without my car, even for a night.

Also, does anyone know if the ECU/Throttle Body instructions on the last page actually apply to the V?

hate to leave the car even 1 night? when my v35 just arrived my home and driven for 3 days, had problem with pressure sensor, air sensor, brake light... sent to mech for 4 days..(first thing tat come to my mind every morning, is my car)

tat's 1 month ago? now it is with mech again for audio(just simple system), extractor, exhaust, plenum spacer.. drop off monday, estimate friday pick up.. (i will give him another week or so..) extractor itself will take 2 days..

hope everything is fine by then~ :D

will ask about how the install of spacer went thru..

  • 2 weeks later...

Fitted mine today.

My butt dyno do feel the responsiveness and the speed going quicker than before. I'm very happy for the money smile.gif

Took me about 3-4 hours, because i take my time and cleaning the inside of the plenum and the throttle pipe.

If someone decided doing it themselves, you need to get the Torque wrench and it's very important for the installation. Find the one that can do Inch Pound rather than Foot pound.

Just a quick note, that i already have the CF tube intake, Drop in K&N filter, and the Amuse Exhaust. So that's probably why i felt the improvement more.

Still wiating for a before and after dyno to see if it was really worth it

Cheers

I have done the before and after test. Read the "Skunk 2 Plenum Spacer Kit" thread.

But if you want the short and sweet answer 7kw at the wheels gain

anybody buy one and want to sell it now?

+1

looks like we r too late for this now...when's the next one~?

btw while I was waiting for the car getting service at Melb City Nissan this arvo, heard a call about someone need help for putting up spacer~ :rolleyes: ?

not sure if its for V tho, i am bad at ears dropping~ :blink:

Ok got my kit the other day, just have to find a spare day to install it.

Was reading through the instructions and it makes reference to diagrams that don't exist and I believe would be relevant. It also mentions that you should drain the engine coolant, do you know if this was done on yours Paul, just that the videos and DIY don't mention it?? (As far as I could see)

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
