Welcome to the club mate!!

 

Unfortunately I don't know the car in question - but good luck with your intended purchase; and you've come to the right place for 300zx advice.

 

Richard:cool3:

I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:

Hey, been looking into a 300zx for a while now and going to have a look at this one tommorrow : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2082127.htm

I was looking for any advice on what I should be looking for or asking about when I go to see it? Not sure if it's anyone on the forums car.

 

So hopefully I will be joining the fold at some point :clap:

Best birthday present ever I think Zhood! Bad times about the missus tho :/

 

Only been out in it for like 2 hours max so far and some guy came up in a 430bhp Evo like "Want a race" but I kindly declined till I'm off stock boost.

 

Question for anyone here... If the Greddy E-01 has been reset to factory settings and I've currently set it to off... Will the car just be running stock boost from the ECU?

Reason I'm asking this is im worried it will overboost for the amount of fuel being put through and pre-detonate :/

Sorry to hear about the missus but a zed is a no bad trade !

 

a zeds a good trade for a women . they get your heart going a lot faster and much cheaper to run.

cheers

ur lucky av only drove mine for 15mins then it was on a trailer for 4hours back from aviemore 15mins of fun though between a accord type-r and an r-33 gts surprizing how far u can get before the skylines turbo lag goes away(av got a non turbo)

hopefully we can all meet up soon though

gd luck with the boost controller

Do You have an aftermarket boost gauge? With the EBC turned of it should run 0.5bar or 7psi or there abouts. Which is less than standard boost which is 9.6psi IIRC :)

Depending on the specs of the car but if its standard (I assume it has a chipped ecu) turbos with standard injectors you shouldnt really run any more than a max of 1 bar or 14 psi.

Yea it has an aftermarket gauge reading in BAR I'll need to check what it's boosting too tomorrow. When it's ticking over it hovers at -0.5 if thats any help?

 

Not 100% on it having a chipped ECU. I was thinking of using the AUTO learn setting and set the boost to 14/15 PSI, is this advisible? The main thing im not sure on is, if and/or how I alter the fuelling if I start altering the boost :no:

You cant alter the fueling without a chipped ecu, i.e its a different fuel map on the ecu.

 

The minus figures are the vacuum that the engine is generating. -0.5bar sounds about right. It will get to 0 very easily and quickly! Anything above 0 is boost i.e greater than atmospheric pressure in the inlet manifold. Im not familiar with the E-01 as I only have a poor mans Spec b 2.

Will be giving her a clean tommorrow so will hopefully get some pics on the go as it has totally different wheels on it now :)

 

Been googling my ass off all night trying to find some info on this controller on a 300zx but to no avail :S

 

According to the user manual you can set everything manually or use the AUTO programming mode. Quick rundown on what it says about the AUTO mode is basically you set a desired boost limit i.e 14PSI then take it a full throttle pull in 3rd or 4th gear. The controller then sets the base stock boost.

Next step is another full throttle 3rd/4th gear run and the controller gradually builds up to the 14 PSI and sets everything else accordingly, well according to my understanding of it.

Heres a link to the user manual : http://www.xspeed.com.au/manuals.php

It's the Greddy E-01.

a zeds a good trade for a women . they get your heart going a lot faster and much cheaper to run.

 

What are you driving an NA :lol::lol:
