where did you pickup the oil lines to the oil cooler
Project 200SX - PFB style - BMC DIA
rezlo, this was a whole kit I got from him a few years back
tks will contact him for the kit
Rear Strut brace
--------------------------
I got my hands on a universal strut brace and made it work for the rear struts of the SX
Short Shifter
---------------------
Bought a short shifter from Ian , Sorry no pictures of the install
Race Cone Filter
------------------------
I got my hands on a Racing cone filter, Its about twice the size of a normal cone filter and added more filtration area.
NIStune
-------------
Well After the installation of the intake manifold and the newly rebuilt motor, The cars started to feel sluggish this was because of the lean fuel mixtures.
The stock Nissan system is amazing and can cope with a lot of punishment and modification but I was pushing it to far so after so searching and help from 300zx I found a great system called nistune.
Wideband
--------------
Now I wouldn't recommend Nistune without a wide band to keep a close eye on those mixtures , This unit is supported by Nistune and feeds into the ECU to help with tunning.
Injectors
--------------
When I installed the is Nistune system, I was so amazed that I hadn't blown my new motor up the Injector where maxed at at only 6000RPM at 0.5 bar boost.
So I imported a set off Skyline GTR injectors replacing the 370cc with a 440cc injector
Maxima AFM
--------------------
Also when I got the nistune system I realized the stock CA18DET MAF was maxing out and returning 5.1 volts at 500RPM My first replacment MAF was form a Maxima and was the new 4 pin unit it worked well till it started maxing out aswell with a little boost increase.
New Exhaust system
-------------------------
After years of using my old back-yard 76mm exhaust, I replaced the unit with a 80mm stainless steel Item. I cant even start to explain the workmanship of the item
The mandrel bends help increase power even more.
New Engine bay color.
------------------------------
I changed to color again what can I say.
Z32 AFM
-------------------
So after struggling with he Maxima unit for some time, I just went an bought a N62 unit. 500hp supported power
Exterior Modifications
---------------------------
I removed the rear wing and installed clean indicators
3 Inch feed pipe
---------------------
I replace the custom 2.5 inch intake pipe with a 3 inch item made from stainless steel, This eliminated all intake restrictions to the turbo
F1 Stage 3 Clutch
------------------------
Well after the nistune system the stock copper clutch started slipping, So I just imported a Stage 3 F1 Clutch kit with an exedy pressure plate.
You cant even compare this item to our local cr$p this is the real deal and she grabs hard
Screamer pipe
----------------------
To help drop back pressure even more, I made a custom screamer. I will not recommend this modification because of the noise when on boost and when off boost.
Old pipe
-----------
New Pipe
--------------
Brake Upgrade
--------------------
Well I upgrade my front rotor with a set from Rotor 88 in the states. It works well and was a cheap effective upgrade
Torque Dampener
-----------------------
This Item does work well but I would recommend solid mounts on Nismo mounts to any SX member
Lightened front pulley
--------------------------
To help drop wight even motor, I converted to a FWD pulley and got a little extra wight shaved off.
C-piller bar
-----------------
This help make the chassis even more rigged
New front strut bar
------------------------
Replaced the old one
Bracing front Suspension
------------------------------

No thanks 😂
Thanks rat, much appreciated.
i have moved the race between PFB and Draco to a new thread.
This is the articles section and Jon has a valid point.
Sorry to have to do this
You Guys are right. 🙁
Just happy it wasnt deleted.
So you got a 330d Jon? Damn lucky those are nice cars 😉
I forgot to added a few mods like the Walbro fuel pump and nismo FPR. I will added them tonight to the correct place's
I'm keen to see your new mods in person. You may even twist my arm to line up next to you even though I'd get a hiding. Would be interesting to see the real world results of just how much faster your car is.
Maybe I should get it chipped first 😂
Damn those 330d are not slow.
Would be a good Run, When I post again I will add my future planned mods sitting in the draw.
The sentra is keeping me buzy I hate wheel bearings 😳
Nismo FPR

550cc Injectors
---------
Howzit Guys...
I did a Comp test on the motor when doing the service last week all Cylinders came to 800Kpa with only a 10Kpa variance between cylinders.
I have installed the injectors and I tuned the car today the car now holds a stable 1 bar with 80% duty cycle on the 550c's its a base tune so i still need to work out the issues of cruise AFR's and lean down a few 10.3 AFR zones in the map when going through the RPM range
I have crunched the numbers and the car is around 190 Wkw's now based on fuel usage, I was suprised to pick up a snake at the 5000Rpm in 2nd carrying over to 3rd left a brown strip in my pants to be honest 😂
All Sorted...
I did take the car all the way up to 1.5 bar in a single run with 17 degress of timing (my tune map) and 11 AFR and shes was amazing after 5000rpm it just doesn't stop accelerating. 😂
Shes now at a Stable 1.1 bar on hennies turbo, Timing has been pulled a little till the knock board arrives, Car is at a stable 0,5 bar vacuum at Idle , 15.0 Afr at cruising , Transition is 13 - 12 Afr and full boost is 11 Afr.
I'm going to pull my new plugs to look for peppering and color plus to do a comp test again to make sure the motors still happy.
Also had a rolling run last night with a A3 2.0T and opened 5 car gap at the end of 3rd gave him a nice flash of lights to say thanks
Sounds good, at last you are running that motor to what it should be at.
Are you running 11.0:1 in the high boost ranges??
Im running between 11.5 to 11.9 she pulls strong here
That is where I run with W/M. Have you tried to run leaner??
No not really...
There was a test done on the Nistune fourm between 10 and 12 AFR and the guy gain like 25 Whp between the two AFR's
I think you should change your sig now.... 😉
I think you should change your sig now....
LOL, I dont have any new dyno numbers 😂
