Chapter 3: More power and boo boos

So another friend of mine decided that he was going to twin turbo charge his Nismo 350z. In the course of doing so, he purchased CJM's fuel return system. I helped him with the install, and of course I was impressed. If anyone has any fuel needs, I would strongly recommend CJM. Charles is a stand up guy and is as legit as MC Hammer in 1991 After seeing the fuel system and talking with my buddy, he convinced me to buy it and shoot for a little more power. I bought the return system, and also some 750cc injectors from someone here on the forums. When I pulled the fuel canister back out for the install, I accidentally snapped off one of the metal arms that hold it together after a brief moment of death, I heated the rod up and shoved it into the remaining amount of hole in the top. Luckily it has held just fine so far. After slapping everything together, made a trip back to Z1 for a tune from Mr. Parham.











Ended up making some pretty nice power at 10-11 psi. 532hp and 497tq.



Once again I beat the crap out of the car. The cooler air started to arrive, which meant more power for the Z. With great power comes great responsibility. Apparently something on the Z wasn't being responsible enough and decided to give out. I noticed after starting the car up, that I had a ticking noise come up. I thought it was in the head at first, but then I jacked the car up and got underneath it. The sound was coming from the bottom end but as I got closer to the transmission, the sound got louder. In hopes it was the clutch or flywheel, the transmission came back off and this is what I find:









That clutch has around 7k miles on it oh well. Im really hoping that the ticking noise is due to that. The flywheel looks the same as the pressure plate. Only time will tell. I also ordered the v1.5 upgrade for my BP kit. I just got that in the mail on Friday. I will probably begin removing the old stuff sometime this week to install the new oil lines and intercooler piping. I ordered my clutch today as well. I ordered a OS Giken twin disk. Hopefully that will hold the power I have and any additional power in the future should I decide to build my motor down the road.



And thats where Im at right now. Ill update this thread often now that its been made lol.

VERY NICE!

400ft/tq at 3,750rpm is very impressive.

On a side note, my wife and I just had a good laugh watching the in cabin video...two men giggling out of control is very entertaining .

Haha yeah. Thats how it usually is when I'm driving the car. Since I drive it sparingly, when I do, I get too happy lol.
