Hello,

This car is now up sale to fund an overseas trip. Its an APS TT kit done by Auto-tech Engineering who are the only authorised people to install this by APS in NSW. The kit has not been modified in any way since that day, and the car is generally stock apart from the tanabe protec-5's which give you the option of stock softness or track stiffness, at the push of a button. This has no special requirements other then running on 98 octane. People in the US run these engines upto 10psi on stock internals.

I think the best thing about this car is it gets zero attention fron the cops. ive had rbt's, speeding fines (be warned) and never had even one check my tyres.

Ive just given her a very special detail, 100k service (replacing all the fluids) and its sitting in the garage waiting for a new owner (have another daily driver). its got just over 100k on the clock with most of the K's being hiway between Sydney, Canberra and Newcastle. The car is currently located in Canberra, but is registered in NSW and i can organise viewings in either state. No tyre kickers please!

The kit used to be distributed soley through APS authorised retailers (3 places australia wide) for a set price which included the exhaust and installation (to make it fully adr complient) for $15k. APS no longer produce 350z kits (although they do fully support them) so if you would like to turbo your 350 these days, you must import a kit from the US. Installation of any kit will generally require the engine to be dropped. Im usually a DIY'r, but i was not prepared to wrench this kit. You can do it in the bay, but u end up needing all these custom tools and spend so much time that its easier to drop the engine anyway.

So basically if you are interested in a turbo 350, you will save yourself a whole lotta cash and wrenching time pick up this car - which i personally beleive is a bargin. Ive been in some 300kw GTRs, 200sx's, and civics, and would you beleive that the 3.5 V6 (with the lightened flywheel) is a whole lot more responsive and IMO, faster then all. This car makes boost from 1000RPM but will go sideways at 100KM. My background is in turbo Hondas which are laggy, but rev like lawmowers. Im not saying this car is the fastest thing on the roads, my old honda used to have more topend on the hiway. But as far as daily driving goes, i have not been beaten in the 50k ive put on this kit. Simply put, its the most usable 300kw ive ever experienced aside from force fed 8's. Oh and overall my fuel economy improved with the kits installation, go figure.

Thanks for the bump. Im a car enthusiest and this conversion was a dream of mine. I purhcased the 350z specifically to install this kit on. When you drive around in a convertible, people automatically think you are a tool who in it for the 'status' and has no clue about cars. Drivers still look at me funny cause this car is so stealth, but a quick flash to 4grand and their smurk turns to curisity and bewilderment. Groups of laughing kids in there show pony rex's shut there mouths when we pull up to the next set of lights after i flutter past there windows. My reasoning for the convertible was that i dont listen to the radio, so i might as well have the best way possible of listening to the engine...

If anyone has more questions, im happy to answer. I am not someone with a chequebook who doesnt understand whats going on.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
