hey guys,

Bout to order some mods online....

I am choosing between the following 2 combinations: 1. Motordyne plenum + z-tube or 2. Motordyne plenum + z-tube+ jwt pop charger.

I've got an 5AT, which I consider a 'cruiser' rather than a 'muscle' car. Does anybody think the JWT pop charger could be too loud? Ive already got a fujitsubo exhaust which makes some decent sound at high rpm.

Also will excluding the pop charger mean I will get less overall power gains? Ive read the plenum/ztube/jwt can add 15kw to the wheels...

I just want to ensure my car keeps its character I guess...

cheers,

Danny

I found my Popcharger only made my Z33 louder past like 3000RPM. Around town, you shouldn't even notice it.

Up in the rev range it gives the engine one hell of a nice note. I got compliments from everyone I drove past at WOT.

Hmmm been meaning to get one myself. Where are u planning to buy it from? I saw one on Ebay US but the postage price puts me off.

hi,

Just wondering what power gains did u get? I heard in some cases there is a loss of power down low?

Not sure...

Paul I sure I have ; )

I was referring to the Fujita filter..

no doubt the jwt/ztube combo adds some some power.

my only concern is if the sound is 2 loud, but seems like under 3000 I should be ok.

cant wait for the extra 15kw....

because the stillen are popular as well as the JWT and also help prevent with loss of power from heatsoak. The fujita and jwt will cause you to some power loss due to heatsoak without proper heatshield.

So far from my knowledge and the G35driver.com, that JWT are more popular for the 350z owner due to the hole intake at the front of the beam, while the V35 not as good. G35 in USA seems alot more popular using the stillen, being the one that having a good heatshield and prevention of heatloss. Also help with the problem of getting defect by cops too.

This is purely owners choice, if you just want sound then JWT pop charger. if you want sound and less chance of power loss, then go for stillen.

I just want the OEM looks and don't want trouble from coppers as well or even upgrade to the 06+ rev up intake box.

cheers

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
