Lockleaf Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 720 ST hub... because that's somehow more available... but it's way cooler because it's factory Nissan parts 1 Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 On a loaded dyno it pulled a 110 HP and 156 TQ lol Right here you can see where the stock exhaust and original (clogging) cat just choke the shit out of the engine. I already knew it had shit flow but that confirms it. all and all I got exactly what I wanted, nice 100% stock baseline to compare to after Im done with mods. 4 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Seems like an intercooler and a better exhaust would really wake that thing up? 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Seems like an intercooler and a better exhaust would really wake that thing up? Yeah just having some good exhaust would make a big difference. I was going over the sheet with owner of the shop (guy running the dyno) and the first thing he asked me was if it was the stock/original exhaust and cat, I knew it flowed bad already and he could tell just from the sheet. The stock exhaust starts off well at 2.5in but as it goes back it gets crush bent and drops diameter in places so its really not great flow. Thats why you can see where the red circle is at, it starts to fall on its face 4-4.5k RPM because the exhaust just cant flow enough. Even removing the 35 year old cat would make a numbers difference, its starting to clog up. Which is the biggest flow culprit at the moment. Ill be going to a full 3in from the down pipe back fairly soon. 2 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Ill be doing an intercooler, exhaust, 5 speed, moar boost and possibly a Z31 ecu/upped injectors and then running it again.thats prob about as far as Ill take this drivetrain since I plan on keeping it as the daily and it gets driven all over the state. 1 Quote Link to comment
FricFrac Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 MegaSquirt..... do it! Start with an intercooler and exhaust. I haven't seen anyone run an S130 rear crossmember with an exhaust pass through like the 510.... just sayin... Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I had a MS unit for it and decided not to use it.Its just going to be the street car daily so Im not getting to crazy with things. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't need one. It's only half as thick as the 510 crossmember. The exhaust goes over it instead of through it. ;) Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 That zx has to be my favorite steering wheel. I have one on both my 710s because they are such a comfortable improvement. Thicker and padded for nice grip and center horn button so you don't have to hunt on the spokes while turning through an intersection. Also handy spoke thumb buttons for every when else.

datzenmike Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Best looking wheel for an S130 imo... :thumbup: It 'fits' well I agree. By fit I mean aesthetically, not garish or gauche. Not a fan of that style rim but it works very well. Nice Quote Link to comment
