Good to see you back working on the zed, just ordered my new style ptu from z1, will probably mount it where yours was going to go. Would love to see an episode on deleting old vac hoses and other crap in the bay, makes it look better and less complicated afterwards 👌👍🍻
Thanks for your advice. We have just finished relocating our zx's PTU to next to the air intake, in front of the radiator. Was a nightmare cutting hardened wire insulation off in a very confined space. A 20 minute job took almost 2 hours. ha-ha ..... as our xz's PTU connections were heavily corroded. At least the PTU is in a much better position now.
Seeing the condition of your PTU connections, we are going to move the PTU to where you moved it after cleaning. Our z32 2 + 2 TT has already got the after market air filters, etc . Thanks for sharing.
you do realize that relocating the PTU to the front of the car is a very bad idea. There is a reason the engineers decided to put the PTU where it was and that is in front of the clutch fan where it will get a crap ton more air then in the front of the motor. To many PTU have fried by relocating them to the front of the car. Just a heads up
Sinking beers like always. Your a regular comedian. I just recently had lovely day taking out my alarm system in my car which was at least 4 beer job. Just because it was hot and hate car alarms. Keep up these awesome videos. Howdy from cuero texas.
Good shit mate! Keep up with the videos. I stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago around the same time i purchased my first z32. Your channel will go far! Dont lose the humor!
Definitely recommend upgrading to the series 2 ptu when you can, the old series 1 are notorious for having the solders inside fail, hence why they stop working. I just turned up the boost to 12psi on mine and I'm absolutely loving it combined with the 4.11 diff in it :) nice work mate
Intake! Yeah me too but it’s an understandable wait with everything that has to go into a new ep. Doing the PTU mod on the weekend to my z32 since you made it look piss easy haha and sweet, hopefully not too low so you can still get the jack under 😂
James Creaton that new Jack we featured in the first episode of Operation. Sportswagon... Yeah, that doesn't fit already. I am going to invent miniature rubber ramps to drive on to to raise a car to fit a jack under it... Patent pending, don't steal my idea
Intake! I did this tonight. So much better! Plus mine had the recall done so it had that giant extra harness that was just shoved in there. Thanks for the video!
Would have been nice to see you upgrade to a new style PTU instead of keeping the old style, although relocating the PTU eliminates one need for upgrading to the new style. Enjoying the episodes! Keep them coming!
Agreed Brother! But we really just wanted to get back in the garage while the sun was still out and bang out an episode even though we didn't have any new parts right then. But this really is something that everyone with an older z32 can do, FOR FREE!
Hot stuff that vibrates is not the place to locate sensitive electronic components Nissan, relocated the PTU on my N/A to the nose cone back when I had it....best move ever.....then sold it and upgraded to a mk3 Supra turbo lol....now to work out how to make my 7mgte as reliable as the VG30de was.
Stock temp gauge only moves from dead center when the car is on fire, 100% get an aftermarket gauge so you know what's going on. 400HP at the wheels is generally the max sensible power on standard fuel for stock turbos so you're probably not far off
Tom Ault looks like we are on the search for some new gauges Brother. The car already has a massive walbro pump, but we will need bigger injectors and an ecu before we worry about turbos.
I have always thought them to be a joke amongst the Japanese super cars of the late 80s and 90s, but truth is that they are fucking awesome and I can't fault mine.
Good job on the car and on leaving Nick to play with his lego's mate. When are you gonna put the car on a dyno? Would be fun to see how many HP it still has after all these years
Marcos Lopez in Australia the saying goes don't drink and drive. They stop you from driving before you actually get drunk. So here we quite often use the term drink driving. But I can see how that sounds like a mistake.
Ah so that's why no-one watches my videos, all I do is lay under it and swear at it... Could be worse, you could be doing a head gasket... ugh, not looking forward to that. I will send you my neons for free if you fit them.
Stumbled across the channel a week ago. Binge watched it all. Great work keep it up
Cheers Ross! Top job. That must have been at least a 24 beer job.
I love this guy ! cracks me up but bloody good at what hes doing!

Rewatching old episodes.... Haven't gotten my Intake fix in a while. Cheers from America!

That intro never gets old!

Great to find an Auz channel. yep moving my PTU just like you did

A four job is my type of job Brother!
Great job on the channel!!! Going to be looking to do this mod on my z32
One of the first thing you should do Brother!
Love it. This series has made me really consider getting a z32
Do it! The more people want them, the easier it will be for me to sell mine at a premium haha
Good shit mate! Keep up with the videos. I stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago around the same time i purchased my first z32. Your channel will go far! Dont lose the humor!
Brandon Pratt Don't stop Believing Brother. Hold on to that feeling.
On ya Stivva. Project Z is looking and sounding mint!
Nathan Parker cheers Brother. We are really getting into the nitry gritty now. I am keen to take it next level... Whatever the fuck that means.
Hahaha. Mad as! Can't wait!
Awesome.
Thank you
I believe my Z32 has this problem. I will get right to it.

Jarryd Sullivan a job for another day then!
Fuck yes, been hanging out for the next Z ep
James Creaton Us too Brother! We hope Intake! release some more soon. Maybe with some more suspension mods and more low... wink wink
Intake! Yeah me too but it’s an understandable wait with everything that has to go into a new ep. Doing the PTU mod on the weekend to my z32 since you made it look piss easy haha and sweet, hopefully not too low so you can still get the jack under 😂

Good shit buddy totally good channel here
Keep it up. channel is gonna go a long way.
“I can’t stand this it tastes like cat piss”, you make me laugh so much man, hello from the uk :)
Reece Moore I hate to waste a beer. But that was terrible.
Awesome show. Keep it up.
I'm still trying to get my Z running 8 months after I bought it lol (it died the same day)
Have you tried kicking it while holding a cold beer?
Didn't think of that. I'll give it a shot
Nebojsa Djordjevic that's the spirit!
alternator and MAss air sensor
You are the Chopper Reid of 300ZX's 😁
18:55 I was cracking up! I feel your pain!
I wasn't. Dropping that clamp was a painful experience.
Intake! I did this tonight. So much better! Plus mine had the recall done so it had that giant extra harness that was just shoved in there. Thanks for the video!

just the actual ptu? i noticed they sell the 2 bolt replacement online do i just buy that and plug and play or do i need a different harness?

I love your thinking the PTU is it a shit hot spot but they add layers of tap on it.

Nice work, champion!
zDrums Just doing our part to raise the prices of z32s Brother
Throw a bottle of water wetter in the radiator. Really helps with the high temps on my Evo at track days. How clapped out are your bushings?
brav good to see the 300 back and boosting the end of the vid was like watching top gear lol
Hopefully, we will see heaps more driving shots in each episode!
Good shit mate, when are those tshirts going to be available to buy?
Hey Brother. We are going to be adding them to the store next week most likely.
OHHHH Hell yeah. Im keen for all your series
Sharted Shorts thanks Brother. Episodes 2 and 3 of Operation Sportswagon are not far off
Fark yes, good shit! Also, poor form from Sidekick Nick... Nothing is more important than the Z build :P
Mitchell Denham Nick had his reasons and I am sure he will be back for the next episode of Project Z
ahhh more work in that tight engine bay!
I just love diving hands first in to a tight spot!
I really dig the project, I've never looked into the Z32 because of all the jokes but they're a great bit of kit!
I have always thought them to be a joke amongst the Japanese super cars of the late 80s and 90s, but truth is that they are fucking awesome and I can't fault mine.
Great episode as usual. Did those not get replaced on TSB or Recall in non-US markets?
Michael S apparently not mate. We miss out on many overseas recalls.
Need to do an episode of were you order you shit from, or.include it somewhere
We may just do that shortly with all our parts we have purchased for the Sportswagon!
Just stumbled onto this channel bloody awesome great work.Yeww!!!!! Subscribed XD
Just stumbled onto your comment brother, bloody fantastic!
Your welcome mate keep that rad content flowing!..
Good job on the car and on leaving Nick to play with his lego's mate. When are you gonna put the car on a dyno? Would be fun to see how many HP it still has after all these years
He is probably sitting on a better investment with Lego's over a z32...
Intake! True true aaarrggh damn that Nick and his idea ;)
*drinking beer sound* 👌🏻💰
They sell on eBay a PTU bypass.
Do you know about this????
legend! thanx for your efforts
FML @5:53 and just like that i got one more to do.....lmfao, good one
Great job on the channel pal keep up the brilliant videos (U.K.) viewer 🤙🤙
If you keep watching them, we will keep making them.
Intake! Watched every single video you’ve put on notifications on and subscribed you keep em coming I’ll keep watching bro 🤙
Do you plan on getting an exhaust that doesnt make the car sound like a vacuum? I dont mean obnoxiously loud, but enough that you hear the car.
Tristan Larsen of course, but it will be obnoxiously loud. I care not for what the neighbours think.
Intake! Thats what i like to hear.
subscribed keep going man ! i like your bride seats : P
The warning in the beginning says "Drink Driving" x) lol
Absolutely Brother. Don't get wasted and get behind the wheel. All road users have the right to be safe on the road.
Intake! I reckon it's supposed to be "Drunk Driving" silly Haha
Marcos Lopez in Australia the saying goes don't drink and drive. They stop you from driving before you actually get drunk. So here we quite often use the term drink driving. But I can see how that sounds like a mistake.
Intake! Ahhh I see thanks for clarifying 👍
That the vivid track day?
Missed that one. More will come.
@18:56 FmL thats the fucken worse....have me laughing all loud and shet @2in the AM at home.....
@17:33 liquid electrical tape: www.google.com/search?q=liquid+electrical+tape&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab
It'll be as water tight as a frogs butt hole ;-)
That's bloody witchcraft. I will have to get on to this... Does it come in bulk packages?
I just went dual pop with the translator, I felt a noticeable difference, mainly from the weight reduction in my wallet.
That's where the difference of most z32 mods is felt most Brother!
Did you run dual maff sensors
at a guess then...that the 300 is faster than a 350...?
It may have been in standard form lol
Next step- get a S2 PTU
We will one day Brother. But we have a couple of other things a bit higher our priority at the moment.
240z vs 300zx surely
Bob Mycat give you the hot tip. Z32 is faster and more comfortable to drive. The s30 is cooler.
The temp gauge always sits in the middle. It's either cold, Meh, or fucking pull over and stop. Go aftermarket fella.
Fentoncbr that sounds like a project for another episode!
This is the shit.
One word makes all the difference. 'The'
Ah so that's why no-one watches my videos, all I do is lay under it and swear at it... Could be worse, you could be doing a head gasket... ugh, not looking forward to that. I will send you my neons for free if you fit them.
What colour exactly, are these neons?
I should do something clever like make you watch my japnats prep vids where I turn them on before pulling them out... but blue. electric blue.
Did you see the photos of zedfest over easter? facebook.com/eddy.vanvelsen/media_set?set=a.10155819819905642.1073741827.608770641&type=3
Alteh I didn't Brother. But will take a look today
