keen to see a vid of the cammed up sss, good luck for wednesday man, any changes to the z since you last ran?

No changes, just working on my driving. Changed the gearbox oil so it no longer crunches going into 4th gear, might be able to select 4th instead of bouncing off the limiter. The SSS goes really well, keeps up with my Z no problem and i'm gunna try line him up because my mate will be recording the night.

sweet, throw some vids up if you get a chance. my mates got an na (vg30de) 300zx they do go really well. if only the were easier to work on lol

They aren't that hard to work on, i can work on mine no problems.

haha niche cars such as v35/v36 and V8's don't apply to the norm of the N/A section...

This forum actually reminds me of reading the N/A forum on Calais Turbo back when I was in high school and no one could afford a turbo lol, most of the same "mods" are mentioned (cutting AFM mesh anyone?)

+1. keen to know what cams (i'm guessing most likely poncams) and whether it's running a nistune as well. i want to put some poncams and a nistune into the missus SSS but i'm not allowed (plus can't afford it)

Tomei Poncams 260 degree 11.25mm lift. Has the Poncams, Mild head work(shaved etc),pod+CAI, extractors, catback & a chipped Ecu.

Nope. - Poncams. Strange but true, I double taked the first time too

yeah i remember he told me they were poncams but i wasn't too sure myself. All the cars are on regular street tyres so don't expect magnificent times but it should be a fun night. Anybody in sydney is free to come down and have a look themselves :).

with those mods he should be putting out enough power to give a NA skyline a scare on a dyno, let alone on a track in a car that weighs about 200kg less. should easily get into the 14's without too much trouble.

and yeah that's the poncams. they aren't that lumpy either. good street cam.

grr wish i was in sydney still, I've seen one natro 33 at willowbank and it wasn't racing. BTW I'm at willowbank at least twice a month if you see a grey and black two tone 33 with green ps come say hi :)

I'm actually expecting him to give me a good chop going down the strip, thats why i'm going to try get him in my lane for a run.

Hey guys, results are in and i have to say sorry as you won't be too impressed!

The Corolla(88kw bigport) ran 16.8 sec with ECU problems

The Cammed SSS did a PB of 15.449 @ 88mph (2.5 60ft)

My 300ZX did 14.58 @ 95mph (2.279 60ft)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
