Will i loose low end punch if ?
 
I just bought a FI CBE. For my 2013 nismo will i loose low end punch off the line or does it create power from low rpms range to redline?

You're not going to notice anything.

In my experience it provide it bit more "giddy up and go" in any range of the RPMS. From dynos they show that it provides a good addition in whp

Ok Good to know. Well since i have you boys attention. This is going to be my mods. Test pipes, FI cbe 18inch resonators, stillen gen3 cold air intakes, Z1 plenum and rev-up tune. is this a good platform to wake this car up?

All good...although, look into EcuTek over UpRev...many more tuning options and more flexibility.

Sounds like a good setup you have going! I would suggest if you are going to replace the plenum, do the Ported Lower and Upper Manifolds as well

Costs a bit more in parts and labor but you will be extremely happy making close to 350whp if you tune it to a race format. That is very good for N/A. If you want really high power goals, forget all that stuff you said up there, and Send your car to FI for a TT, Test pipe, Exhaust and tune. Along with the Clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, do the CSC ELIM KIT from Z1 as well regardless which way you go.

Sounds like you got a good start ahead of you, when you get parts in make a build thread too!

Wo there cowboy lol. Loved to do all that but thats all the budget i have right now. But thankx on the vote of confidence on what i have on the way. 8-12weeks for the exhaust that sucks. plenum and test pipes are in the mail got the stillen gen3 today.

Hey what about the RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal ? committed to buy this off of a member here. I hate the way the clutch feels.

That it does, I got my FI 18" res CF exhaust off a member here with like 3000 miles on it if that. They looked almost brand new.

As for the RJM pedal, find a shop that will install it first before you buy it. Some buyers have a problem finding a shop that will install it for them due to the small space to work with and the amount of time it takes to install.

If you do the work yourself, have fun haha! :tiphat:

Lucky dude. Yea I'll be doing all the work myself. 3 jacks to get her in the air 4 jack stands to keep her there. Got any feed back on this RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal? Is it worth it and will it make the car nicer to shift?

Rusty 03-25-2016 07:15 PM

You're not going to lose anything with the cbe.

fantaZ 03-25-2016 07:48 PM

thankx for all the feed back on the cbe and mods. but feed back on the RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal. would be great. like i said my 350z is alot easier to shift heel to tow then the crappy feeling nismo clutch pedal.

Rusty 03-25-2016 08:10 PM

Read through some of the build/journal threads. That will give you an idea. If you go there mine. You can see how I progressed.

This is what FI LTH's, 12" resonators, and cbe sounds like. The mike is taped just below the license plate.

Rjm pedal for sure. It was my very first mod. Can't stand the stock pedal. If you are handy at all, you should be able to do it yourself. It comes with good instruction.

Sounds killer. That track was cool how long of a track is it and what were your oil temps pushing your car that hard? Oh and good driving.:tup:

Yup just bought off a member on here about ten min's ago

Just finished installing my RJM pedal a few hours ago. I dropped several F-bombs during the process. Working under the dash is a huge PITA. I'm 6'4" and have long arms too which made it worse. Ryan's product is a solid piece of engineering. Getting the stock pedal out was the worst part. Definitely made a difference in the clutch feel. Only did a few laps through the neighborhood when I was finished. I can tell it will be much easier to DD on once I have recalibrated my feet to the new engagement window after 5 years on the stock pedal...so I will need a week or two of driving to truly realize the benefits.

N8GTOL 03-25-2016 09:13 PM

P.S. as much as I hated installing this pedal I would recommend it only so that you know how to set and adjust it in the future.

Thanks! That's Pittsburgh International Raceway, North Track, which is 1.6 miles long. I have a 34 row Z1 oil cooler. So my temps don't go over 230F on the hottest days.

Should have taken the seat out. 4 nuts and 2 plugs under the seat. That's it. Makes working under the dash much easier. I'm 6'2" and 230 lbs.

Lol yea I am 5'11 212lbs and have oddly long arms i am sure I'll be wanting to beat my punching bag between breaks getting down there to install it.

N8GTOL 03-25-2016 09:47 PM

Honestly the seat wasn't the problem. Sure that may have made it a little easier sliding in and out but it was the length of my forearm that made some of the angles almost impossible to get at.

Flip the dampener around and add a 1/4" spacer under it's mounts. There is also a Z1 power steering cooler mounted on the right side.

Ughhhhh. Tell me about it. I'm yet to install my pedal lol. I haven't found a shop in LA yet

iJDMTOY 04-08-2016 12:47 PM

You're not going to loose low end punch you're not going to feel a difference but you'll hear the difference

TBatt 04-08-2016 01:16 PM

Give me a break! I'm 61 years old, 5'10" and weigh in at 260 and installed the RJM pedal. Yes, it was a PITA, but name ONE job that isn't working under the dash.........

Ryan's instructions are very detailed and the design and build quality are top notch.

The car is now a PLEASURE to drive. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
