Wheels Or Gofast Parts?

[MANWHORE]

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.
