What's up Fellas... I need some critical advice and i'm afraid i can't get it in the states... not enough information!

I'm about to order some major upgrades for my rb25det powered S14 and i'd like to know any other components i would need to keep my vehicle reliable and safe!

Here goes...

So far all the mods I have and installed on my car can be found in my signature (the basic essentials, 3" catback, 3" testpipe, 3" downpipe, walbro 255 fuel pump, nismo FPR, nismo thermostat, Hybrid FMIC, ACT 6 puck clutch, flex-a-lite 220s, Tomei 256* poncams, PowerEnterprise timing belt, Brand new Water pump, Tein HE coilovers, R33 GTST front brake conversion, 300zx master brake cylinder, SPL stainless braided brake lines... so on and so forth)

Now for the MODS!!!

Later today i will be ordering the following from Nengun.com

-Apexi PowerFC + Commander

-HKS GT-RS turbine Kit

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-z32 MAF

Please let me know if there is anything else i would need to have replaced, upgraded or tinkered with before i make these following upgrades.

***I am fully aware i need proper tuning and after i do the following installations, i will be taking the car to a tuner to be dynoed and have the powerFC tuned

Thanx for any suggestions you guys can throw at me!

The under bonnet temp of an RB in a S13/14/15 is always an issue. What sort of air filter, heat shielding and ambient airflow inlet are you using? For the same reason I would always suggest an oil cooler.

whats up sydneykid...

I recently just built a mock-up CAI out of PVC and have an HKS Super Mega FLow filter at the end... I have already ordered 3" mandrel bent steel-aluminized (it's a total of 3 90* bends and about 24-30inches of straight piping.. i'm having a CAI welded up by a friend (i can get away with this in the states) I routed the piping through the fenderwell and the filter is directly behind the front bumper and there is a massive hole for lots of air to flow :)

I haven't done any research for an oilcooler as of yet... but could you give me any suggestions on what to look for when purchasing an oil cooler... brand, model... keep in mind this is in my s14.

I forgot to mention i'll be getting the apexi boost controller (compatible with the PowerFC) as well...

Please give me any suggestions or technical advice that you have to offer... my eyes have your attention.

Thanks

yup cool answers my question.

i was confused cause i have seen this added boost controller addon when i look at PowerFC prices. But then i was reading threads where people have a PowerFC and a greddy boost controller and wondering why there are 2 parts.

anyways i'll make sure i'll get the powerfc with the boost controller.

thanks

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
