i see people running the afm in there intercooler piping and it works fine, but can i do this with my rb26? since it has two mafs? can i just put one infront of the other? will that work. im converting to single turbo so i would have to get the greddy y-pipe to adapt the two to one feed to the turbo. so is there away to run both mafs inline or am i stuck using the greddy y-pipe or stand alone to remove the mafs all together? is there away to run one maf? thanks

No, if you put them one in front of the other, they will each reas all the air, instead of half. If you want to modify onoe and put the internals into a 90,, pipe after the intercooler, them all you have to do is bridge the output of the afm and reprogram the ecu to suit.

You have to run twin AFM'S (MAF), cant run 1 because the ECU wont know wtf is going on.

Just get the Y-pipe to save issues, alternatively upgrade to a ECU that runs a MAP sensor (MICROTECH, WOLF etc..), that will enable you to get rid of the AFM's.

You cant run them in line, I reckon it will run like shit.

Whats the issue wth the Y-pipe? Price $?

you should be able to run 1 AFM shouldnt you if you splice the wires together so the same signal goes down both line, or will that tell the ecu that there is twice the amount of air than there actualy is?

Just thought about this, say you have X amount of air coming into the car. The AFM is the standard position infront of each turbo will see 1/2X each. The computer then adds these together to see X. Now if you were to put one AFM in the cooler pipe (as there is only one pipe) it will see X amount of air. So running the 2 wires to the single afm would see double the air flow. I recon thats correct?

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
