Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

Another update for those following: Sat 18th Jan 2014 was a practice day at Mallala motorsport park, and the 300ZX got's it's first track outing. I think the first thing that became obvious was that no matter how many horses you have, it ain't worth nothing if you can't stop or turn :roll: The engin...

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

The offset being a fixed number rather than a multiplier would cause major issues when switching to alternate fuels. Something to keep in mind for LPG too if anyone is playing with that. Thanks for the heads up on the AE vs RPM table, I haven't taken a look at that yet. I will give it a little tweak...

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

Ha ha, the shed clean up was step one of a three day car bender that started Friday. A Holden Astra, Mitsi Pajero and then the 300ZX were all worked on in that space over the last three days. But that is where the Zed always sleeps come night time... Jayme, the auto pcm + 11P update is definitely on...

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

An update, finally.... Well the Zed has come a long way in the last half of 2013. All systems are pretty much functional and we have had some successful road tests already. We are using VL400's ignition module and it is running without missing a beat these days. Turns out the early days of getting t...

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

At one stage we were having sync errors and I suspected it may be upside down. The two holes next to the keyed center hole make sure it can only go one way up!!

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

Thanks for the support guys! And the massive error light is not for comical effect, the theory is that at the track you have eyes for nothing but the track. No time to watch gauges and dials. We plan on routing anything and everything we can through the delco and have a single point of warning for e...

Re: Delco Nismo, 1984 300ZX VG30ET Turbo

Here's some mods that are directly Delco related. The intake manifold, collector, plenum and trottle for the 1984 300ZX VG30ET was replaced with the equivalent from a ~1992 Maxima VG30E. The driving factor for this was a switch from top feed low impedance injectors, to a fuel rail high impedance inj...

First modification, automatic to manual conversion: 3x Borg Warner T5 manual transmission were sourced from the united states of awesome.
