Nismoandy Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone I have not been on for a while as I have had a few jobs to finish off I have been running the car when I get a chance so it beds in many components engine clutch etc ,I had my first run out with the club to the Ace cafe , which was a great day out lovely to see many club members. One of those jobs was to change over the fuel pump as the engine and fuel rail needs to runs at 4 bar around 57psi and the original 350z v6 runs at 3 bar 51psi , although there's not much difference between the pressure it does effect the start up and the potential power output (bhp) I'm getting some one to tune it properly soon ,and will put on the dino tune for everyone to see. I will also put on a few more issues that I have had to sort out, soon Edited December 19, 2022 by Nismoandy update 1 Quote

Nismoandy Posted August 15, 2021 Author Posted August 15, 2021 Small update been busy with work for a while. The car has been reliable so far with a few teething problems, With the engine being rather large and runs hotter than the original engine, the heat radiates into the driving compartment so I'm at the moment recommissioning the air conditioning system it's been regassed but going to try and fix the wiring . Also I have installed an exhaust by pass but not sure if I like it ,I'm going to live with it for now and see what other people think of it at japfest?? 1 Quote
pintopete58 Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 Hi we spoke at ace .mines the blue zed next to yours. I think in my custom car days this is open end straight through exhaust loud. My description might not be quite right but I like it 1 Quote
Nismoandy Posted August 17, 2021 Author Posted August 17, 2021 Exhaust cut off or by pass in operation 1 Quote
Nismoandy Posted September 11, 2021 Author Posted September 11, 2021 Been living with the conversion for a while now and I have recorded an average of 24mpg going to japfest and home over the weekend which is acceptable for how I use it. But one of the bugs that needs ironing out is the clutch, I put in a stage 1 clutch to coupe with the extra torque, but since I've been using it it's been juddering when you engage different gears, I'm not a hundred percent sure weather it's contamination or a Characteristic of this clutch or something else, anyway I'll be taking the gearbox out of the car over the winter to sort out (ps anyone else have any suggestions on this). In the near future the 350z will be going in for a full respray in candy ruby red ,and a couple of other mods picture below is the colour it will be 3 Quote
pintopete58 Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 24 is very good when I had my c5 corvette that did 30 on a run and think when you've ironed a few things out it could improve . What a great colour. We spoke at ace in June I'm the one that had the blue 350 with carbon dipped mirrors 1 Quote

HEADPHONES Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 That Candy Ruby Red looks divine. Amazes me how Candy paints look so DEEP as if you could swim in them....... almost like a hologram. Never seen a Candy coated Zed in real life so I look forward to seeing yours at some point in the future 1 Quote
Nismoandy Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) As of this week the 350z has gone in for the full respray I've taken off all of the flame decals ,and changed the bonnet as it had significantly rust on the aluminium bonnet and not worth saving, so changed for a good second hand one. Photo before and then after . Last two photos are of the front bumper please can you let me know what one you prefer thanks as I am in two minds thanks Andy Edited September 28, 2021 by Nismoandy Quote
