The Q50s is almost as fast as the Q70s with simple bolts on.

I know I haven't updated this for awhile, but I'm working on fixing the small stuff.

Trying to figure out a way to wire the AC. The Z ECU uses a lot of sensors signals before sending the compressor ON signal. Might use an external sensor to cycle the compressor on and off.


Custom made downpipe and midpipe. I know, the bottom of the car is soo dirty

And a pic of my new Q50s. I love this car

I used a kit off vintage air for the trinary switch and dryer etc with a generic condenser. The oem switch only provided the initial 12v signal to a relay. The Nissan ECM also needs to see an RPM signal to turn AC on if you go that route, which is many orders of magnitude more complex.

Back at the shop to figure out some fuel problem.

Changed the pump and now waiting for the new ID injectors.


And did some engine bay painting. What do you think?

Just ordered these (CZP )

Zada tech 7" GTR style gauges screen with sensors. http://zada-tech.com/products/multi-...cd-multi-gauge






Video:




OEM nav waterfall.



And long Titek gold lug nuts (almost the same color as the OEM calipers)






The car will be back on the dyno for a C16 tune and hopefully to break 700whp.

Sick build man. Seems like you had to start over way too many times. I'm in the process of getting parts for the swap myself. I have motor(vvti aristo), trans(cd009), and ecu (haltech elite 750 with wiring harness). I ordered the Maverick motorsports trans adapter. I still need lots of smaller things but this has been a big help for me trying to plan/piece my build together thanks

^^Thanks. I had troubles with the Collins adaptor alignment and I think its due to the HR tranny and not having the CD009. The shifter still sets at an angle to the drive side.


Small update:

After getting new fuel pump/injectors it turns out the AEM AFR gauge was the problem (stuck at ~15) . Sensor is okay.

And we found the exhaust cam gear was loose and it moved all the way.


Now the car runs great and at another shop to hook the AC lines and wiring. The tuner believes we can break the 800whp on C16. Just waiting for the new parts to arrive to instal them before going back to the dyno.

AEM V2 which I regret. I should have gone with newer one like new Haltech or AEM Infinity.

It's a ZadaTech multi gauge screen http://zada-tech.com/products/multi-...cd-multi-gauge





AEM V2 is old and lacks a lot of the new fun stuff like traction control, rolling launch..etc

Just small pics update.


Painted the engine bay black and installed the new lugs. "I know its very dusty engine bay and needs polishing inside and outside"


Oh and now I have AC

Also ordered new Depo headlights, navigation switch and interior-innovations seats cover with suede in the middle just like the one in the pic, but with black Z stitching.

And if you have a heat problem, two of these will cool anything.

And a big thanks to CZP with their outstanding service as always.

Reason I am asking is becuase I just bought a JWT Light Flywheel and Clutch Kit, I really wanna do a 2J or RB swap in the future, instead of turboing my engine.
Thanks
I'm using the VQ clutch with custom flywheel + adapter from collins adapters.

If you have the VQ then just get the OBDII version OBDII version + boost sensor and AFR support . It will take the rest of the readings from the ECU.

Also this kit can utilize the OEM screen if you have NAV.

Contact Matin @ info@zada-tech.com. He is a great guy to deal with.
