My build

toner123

Thank you I am sure they will figure it out. The owner of the shop seems like he knows these cars well. I did some research on him and he recieved his master tech from Nissan at the age of 21. IMO I think that is very impressive. He is also on the record for being the youngest master tech for nissan on the east cost or around this area, I can't remeber what the dealership told me.
I Have full intention on keeping everyone posted. I want to provide as much info to everyone about this as possible.

Yea after the install the car fired right up. Looking under It I didn't notice any leaks also. Now after a few starts I did knotice a little coolent driping from the passanger turbo Banjo fitting. I put a wrench on it and it went away but I have them checking that also just to be on the safe side. Sam told me after a couple starts you need to go back through and resnug everything down since the vibrations are going to loosen some stuff till they finnally get setttled. As for whats wrong with the car honestly I don't know. It has me confused. I guess at this point it could be the tune but I don't know. When sam looked at the log files he didn't believe it to be the tune. Like I said I think it has to be something stupid. I am not ruleing anything out I am expecting the worse but I will find out tomorrow on what they think. There going to take all next week to look at the build and see how everything is. Also I have some more pics I haven't uploaded yet but I'll get on the other computer and do that later on today. Thanks everyone

Nice job man. I am very jealous. Wish I had the money and knowledge to do this. Just getting into the car area and did my first upgrade, Stillen G3 intakes, but looking forward to the GTM TT kit.

Perhaps if Obama brings back the stimulus $8k for new home buyers then I'll have money for this. However, I'd pay GTM to install it I think because I don't trust myself doing this extensive work.

Believe it or not the actual installation wasn't that hard. There were times where I thought I was in over my head but I would back off for a second and collect my thoughts and pick back up where I left off. Reason I did it my self was because i never did anything like that before and wanted to learn, also installation is about 3 grand. With the money i saved by doing it my self i was able to buy test pipes, my exhaust, and the oil cooler. Still have some money left over so i am thinking of buying the comp II from hks since i have the navigation I can use that screen.

I would recomend the HKS Camp 2 100%
With a plethra of of sensors for the Camp 2 you dont have to worry about junking up the nice z dash with gauges. Plus I prefer to have my data in digital form rather than analog.

I am not a 100% sure on how this works but can you explain more and tell me what exactly do I need to buy. I want to read my boost and a/f rratio the most so what would I need.
Frank

JB-370z

Well first I would like to start out saying I hope you get good news from the shop today! Hope it does not cost to much to get it up and running.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HKS Camp2:
It plugs right into your OBD2 connection under the steering wheel. The cable goes from your OBD2 to the HKS Camp2 unit(Mine is currently in the glove box). This cable provides access to many stock sensors and readings. This same cable provides power for the Camp2 unit so no need for any addtional wiring. Now to get signal to a display is even easier. Just connect RCA cables that comes with the unit into the Camp2 box and then to a video/audio source. Turn on the car, and then change the display to that input and then BAM! You have data! (Make sure you calibrate and setup)


Super easy! Super Clean! Super Informative!

I am not a fan of having gauges in every corner and cubby hole of a clean dash. Sorry everyone has there own opp. but this is mine, not trying to hate on anyone's style.


If you want the a/f read out you need to get the HKS AFK amp(One of the best investments in my book). You can connect the Camp2 to this to get A/F data from. Not cheap but you know the name of the game at this point.


Boost is simple, just buy the boost sensor and be done with it. How ever the only other thing you will need to buy other then the Camp2 unit and sensors is the IF Unit. The IF unit is where all the sensors connect to. All sensors connect to this unit and than only one cable connects the IF unit and the Camp2 unit together.



****The only thing thats needed to get you started though is the HKS Camp2 unit. Everything else can be purchased as needed.




Here's whats needed for what you said you want:

HKS Camp 2 Unit: HKS USA CAMP2

HKS IF Unit and Sensors: HKS USA CAMP2 Optional IF Unit and Sensors

HKS AFK: HKS USA AFK

How accurate is the A/F ratio through the CAMP2 OBDII port? Is it necessary to buy the HKS AFK, that thing is really expensive.

Lol that's what put me off, maybe I'm not creative enough . So I went with defi, always gd to keep an eye on boost and af. Btw any lag with the reading? Seen it on a 350 and the reading seem to lag abit.

JB-370z

Hhahaha not cheap I know. I am getting and addtional screen installed above my pioneer nav head unit where the compartment is. It will be much like the GTR with engine vitals viewable in digital format with data logging. I love technology and I know this is not for everyone, well I am sure everyone likes the idea but not the price envolved.
The only sensors that need the AFK is the A/F and Knock. The rest you just buy and add as you need.

Well thank you for the very elaborate write up. It answers alot of my questions. Although i will not buy the AFK. I really don't see that being worth the money. I know through the OBDII port you can read a/f ratio but was told it's not pin point accurate but it gives you general guildlines. I think that would have to be sufficient enough because if there is ever a problem it would still read diffrent from what it really did. I am also sure the the camp2 can read this. As for the other stuff i think that is a fair price considering all it can do and to add a sensor for boost isn't going to break the bank. The only thing is i do not remeber seeing RCA jacks in my center console. Now I have the navigation package and the Ipd hook up and the owner manual shows them below it, but for the life of me I really don't think I have them. Was this something they added in the 2010 model or a special package you had to get? Thanks for the info JB helped a ton'

Update: Just got off the phone with Hill's garage and so far so good. he started looking over the build yesterday and is continuing to do so and so far he hasn't found anything that I screwed up. His exact words were so far looks like you did a hell of a job. So I am a little happy about that. He said he would have the look over process done this afternoon and depending on what time he should give me a call tonight or first thing in the morning and possibly move the car on to the dyno and start reading out the infor from there and see if why the car is acting goofy.

Things I noticed before the car left to go to the shop that I forgot to add in this thread:
I noticed the passanger side had a slight exhaust leak. Not sure on location of it but i told them to check the car for exhaust leaks and told them about the passanger side. Also the passanger turbo 14mm Banjo fitting that connects turbo to turbo is leaking a tad bit of coolant. And when i say a tad bit I mean a tad bit. The only reason I noticed this is when i got under the car to change the oil again I seen a little dried crust coolant on the fitting. I put a wrench on it a tightend it down and didn't apear to be leaking any more but i asked them to check it out and make sure its good.(rather be safe then sorry). Had to be a verry small leak because like I said coolent never hit the ground after I start the car I always put a big piece of card board underneath the car and check it the next day and never did I have any fluid on it. Note: Who ever does a self install make sure you tighten those fittings down good, driver side gets one banjo fitting and thats the one you install after the turbo is in so it's a tight fit. AS the passanger get a total of 3 of them.

I'll provide more updates as I get them, thanks for the support everyone

Looks nice but down in this side of the world we only have the nav pack, can't not take it lol for better or worst we're stuck with it
