Hey Tim

It's Chris, I saw you at the workshop.

I reckon it's personally up to you, because everyone has different priorities. Some prefer looks, some prefer go, some like both.

Personally, I like both. If I had 2k ish to spend, I'd probably get a highflow metal cat, split front/dumps, then i'd get an electronic boost controller and increase the boost a bit.

If I got more money, I'd then go for wheels and be looking at a turbo upgrade, pfc + tune.

Keep in mind though, unless if you can get those kakimotos second hand, they'll cost you a fortune like all jap stuff. You'll need tyres too, so it'll probably cost you 3k+ unless if you can get them secondhand.

There is so much you can do to the car, so it depends on how far you want to go and which path you want to take (performance or show).

Ive got a power fc coming for the GTR - normal AFM model.

Whywould you need Z32 AFM's with standard turbos? Overkill?

Not that you would need them but if bought, the price would be similar to the D-Jetro kit because the D-Jetro needs the harness, sensors etc...

.....and I am a little wrong in saying it cost me $2500 installed because that also included a PRofec B-Spec II.

What you read was wrong. The standard RB26 AFM's are good for him there is no reason to change. He wont need to change up to Z32 or Nismo AFM's until he's changed the turbos most likely.

The Z32 AFM isn't primarily used for it's larger diameter. The main reason people switch to them is the better sensor which is more able to accurately measure higher airflow volume. The RB25 AFM is the same shape as the Z32 AFM but you wouldn't switch to it because it uses the same sensor as the RB26 AFM and the whole thing would be a waste of money because you would max out the sensor well before you maxed out the airflow capacity of the AFM.

perhaps? i must admit a little bit of information is often dangerous!!! :)

I found the article....Page 55, High Performance Imports magazine. GTR Special Issue #4. Story by Martin Donnon titled "Low 12's for Low Bucks". Keir Wilsons bnr32 on the cover...

"... the stock 65mm items will start to add some of their own restriction now, especially with some taller boost pressure in store, so go hunting for some 80mm units.

Dont worry about spending big bucks on a Z32 300ZX airlow meters, as RB20DET 80mm airlflow meters are identical in size and with only a slight calibration difference. Good enough for what we have in mind. Pay $200 for each of these.

With bigger airflow meters changing the map range of the engine..."

I can scan the rest of the article (actually quite informative imho) for anyone to have an ...apparently ill informed read of... according to Sewid, by request.

Be great to get a copy if you don't mind Franks.

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
