Well worth it, don't know if it was a bit of a placebo effect, but i reckon its better in the mid range. The 2nd pull from 60-70 to 100 is phenonemal, especially now with the shift kit. Changes feel like a manual!

But a tad of low end, not much. :)

Thanks man! Love the V! How can anyone not enjoy this car!

Oh, and I have just spent the last 3 hours under my car pulling off the lower control arms (to press in new bushes tomorrow), removing my mid-pipe (to be fixed tomorrow) and removing my drivers side Kinetix high flow cat (which I had bottomed out so badly it has bent and got a rather large crack in it - again to be fixed tomorrow). This is how the poor car looks at the moment. So I am not so much in love with her today :( (and yes, before anyone comments she is currently FILTHY. But will have a big wash, cut & polish and final hand polish before a club car show this weekend!)

woooo hoooooo just fitted MD plenum spacer, a lot easier than i was expecting. Me and a mate did it in 1hr 10min, and we were not rushing. Definately more power and the sound with the Z tube, K&N filter is orgasmic. Transgo Shift kit next. :woot:

My V upgrade week is starting this week. $1299 BC coilovers from just jap, strut brace and sway bars. All arriving within a week..... Doesn't sound like much but this is huge for me.

Strange you didn't see much of an improvement Sam. When I fitted my Kinetix upper plenum I could feel not only slightly more power, but much more torque over the whole rev range!

YO i just ordered this yesterday for $250, how was it to install? I've been searching everywhere for someones feedback that actually has this. I also have Injen CAI stuck in Australia post (about 10 workers got the sack because they were illegal immigrants LOL)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
