WTF!

How did you melt it? :blush:

How much did the Z-Tune set you back and where did you get it from?

I honestly don't remember how I melt it, but it was a couple years ago lol, but I was pretty pissed....

I think they sell it for like $35-45 in Melbourne (rip off), I got it when I went back to Hong Kong, it was probably like $20 lol.

That's an OK price as I think when the Z-Tune 1st came out it was $60+.

HK prices are wicked!

Besides my 2 x R32 GTR models from AUS, the rest are from HK and the prices for each model worked out to be $15 - $20 each.

We got a Heines model engine at the same time. It was actually really interesting...how the hell they think a 10 year old could that together is beyond me. it took us about 6 hours or so to put it all together.

We still haven't got our model FTO yet

Hi Everyone

We got our model in the post today, so we put it together this afternoon.

It was actually pretty good to put together, and surprisingly didn't drive me nuts.

Here are some photos

P.S: Model was painted with real Imperial Red touch up paint

Next I'm thinking about tracking down a R34 Skyline...and maybe a BMW 318I and Mitsubishi TP Magna

Hi

It was brush painted using duco paint (Brenton wanted it to be the exact same colour as the original) with a clear coat that hadn't finished drying, I spent about half hour with the hair dryer trying to bake the clear coat, but still wasn't dry in those pics.

Up close it has that orange peel look but still looks pretty cool

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
