Happy New Year

Happy New Year to every one,

I am sorry I have not been around, work has kept me very busy and very well occupied.

On that note though.. Over Christmas period I did manage to get the skyline back on the road.

I hope that every one had a good New Year and that Santa was good to you all.

Which Turbo Kit To Buy?

by joeharwood, 26-11-2021, 05:50 PM

Right, I have decided to opt for the turbo route for my GT4 Z. I found this website: http://www.turbo-kits.com/350Z_turbo_kits.html which lists a lot of the available kits. There is simply too much to choose from and I don't know where to start. Do you think a single turbo would be good enough for road use? It will obviously involve less labour costs and a lower risk of the engine going boom! Or shall I go all out and get twins? I really do need some sensible and constructive advice. Some tuning houses in the UK prefer to stick superchargers on the VQ35 engines.

Cheers
Joe

A group of like minded Rav4 owners have taken the decision to go it alone ,they would post on the Toyota owners club.
http://www.rav4driversclub.com was started up in Dec 2013 by key forum members ( seem to remember this happening with another car group ) , I'd like to wish them well and would like to spread the word.

new 1GFE BEAMS idle problems, mid-range power lag and its noisy

by hasibul.a.khan, 18-11-2021, 05:31 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm new here. Been goin through some of your projects and they are inspirational to say the least.

Anyway I've got a 2004 Mark II Blit iR and the old engine died. So I got a replacement 1gfe in along wit a gearbox. I was careful with the inspection and did a compression check, changed the oil n sparks, checked the seals and ignition coils and everything is fine. First crank and the engine turned firing on all sixes.

Everything was fine untill the engine got hot. Idle went up to 2k and in gear it drops to 1200 at it sounds really rough. At first I thought it was a new engine thing so I went along with the break in process and the problem only got worse. cold starts still beautiful no complaints no problems but as soon as it heats up idle jumps to 2k and it gets very noisy but i can still live with all that but what i cant live with is the way i have to keep pushing the throttle to get it past 100. Once past that it sprints all the way to 180.

I've never seen such random behaviour but i've also never driven vvt-i's before. So i'm at a loss for solutions. Sumone suggested resetting the ecu might help. I need sum pro help here guys. Any Suggestions???

Group Buy anyone?

by reganlives, 18-11-2021, 12:47 PM

I know that as I'm not a fully registered member I cant sell stuff but I'm not actually selling anything myself. I wont be making any money out of this either. I have found a supplier who can custom make dash pods which consist of the entire top dash tray including vents. Would anyone be interested in these if the price is right? I'll get some pics up soon.

Thanks
