Bit of update
so while on the dyno we discovered a few drops of oil under the car. A bit of investigation reveals the most likely culprit is a cam seal…. Annoying! So at some point I’ll have to pull the front of the engine off and install a new seal.
I’ve also been speaking to Brett at BDE and will be purchasing his now PS pulley for ATi crank pulley, which will resolve the issue of it spitting off its PS belt.
I’ve also been going through the datalogs of some of the drives I’ve had to identify the cause of the imbalance of fuelling between banks. While I’m not sure it’s totally the cause, I have found that the alternator is not keeping up with demand. While the pic shows voltage drop during a pull down to 13.06v, wider analysis identifies a direct correlation between the fuelling of the engine and the electrical systems being above or below 13.5v. So I’m going to have my alternator inspected, and if it’s performing as expected I’ll either look at having it uprated to 120amp (to offset the 24amp draw of the 525lph pump) or if that’s not possible I’ll look to upgrade to a 200amp unit from WPS or WOSP.

Just picked up my Z after having the clutch
and exhaust sorted. The mongoose exhaust sounded great on the way home. It's not too
loud, just loud enough to let other cars know
you are there as you sail by them!. The RPS
clutch is not as heavy as i thought it would be which is good. Trouble is I now have this
erge to put my right foot down hard to the floor.
How many miles do you guys think I should wear this in for before it's hammer time?
P.S. I enjoyed the post on THE TRADERS VOICE,
it was very amusing. Keep up the good work
Craig and Nico, the forum is great!
