Nick just suggested seeing what it would cost for one brand new. There is no way i'd go new for that price.

Have you been able to get a hold of a Z32 AFM yet for your build?

...talking about builds, at the workshop where I take my car there was a R33 gtst with high mount CGC turbo (600hp X?? range). started spooling at 4000rpm and hit full boost at 5500rpm.

He had what looked like a modified standard plenum that was forward facing, turbosmart external wastegate, and worked internals.

Where you going that extreme (basicly it was for drag racing and not that much for street).

i had the z32 afm ages ago, i just got the plug for it yesterday and its all installed. I got external gate and 3037 going on custom manifold! the internals are staying standard till it blows or when i decide to spend more dosh at once with headwork, 1.6mm head gasket, forged piston, short penned rods and nitrided crank!

Im not sure what brand it is, my mechanic had it and put it on the exhaust side. It wasn't touched when I got the tune as the guy tuning didn't believe it made any difference.

I heard cams can make a difference of 30kw in the lower power band, is that correct? might be worth investing in some.

Hi Mark25T,

You can buy Z32 AFM's from Petroject in sydney, in an as new condition go to http://www.petroject.com.au/ and look under EFI parts or call them on 1300 30 40 60, they won't cost you $850 thats for sure!

As for the plug that connects to the Z32 AFM yes you will need to get a new one. The plug that goes onto your existing AFM will not plug into the Z32AFM however all you need do is obtain a plug from a RB30 (out of a VL) as this plugs straight onto a Z32AFM..well it did when i installed Z32AFM's on my car! Just take your Z32AFM to any VL wrecker to make sure it plugs straight on.

cam gears make a huge difference in the tuneability of the car. My car was not making boost until around 4200rpm and full boost not being reached until after 5000rpm I then had it tuned with heaps of attention being paid to the cam timing via the cam gears...end result boost starts at 3000rpm and reaches peak boost at 4400rpm, thus much better street performance. Really just depends on what you want your car to do!

Cheers

      George's R33 GTST build

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
