How much boost do you run? I'd be too concerned about the joiner blowong off the back of the afm. There is no lip on the afm to help hold it on. Ive also heard that Z32 afm's can be abit funny when used in a blow through system.

It's a fairly common practice relocating an AFM to cold-side piping when upgrading turbos, especially for those who prefer not to/can't use an ECU like a d-jetro or an EMS 8860 which do away with the AFM and run a MAP sensor.

Haven't heard of many cases where the joiner has blown off the AFM, but I suppose it does make it susceptible given it clamps onto a flat surface.

Edit: Also, to the OP, is this a high mount setup or on a low mount?

For a flat surface. Drill say four small holes and put in self tappers. This gives total resistance to the hose blowing off. When the clamp comes up against the heads of the s/ts it cant move. Easy and cheap.

When setting the front facing plenum all the flat surface joins blew off. Why wont this SOB go???? LOL

Where is the bov in that engine bay??? Can anyone confirm the z32 not working in a blow through. Or will stock be fine for 16-18psi?

thats Simon-R32's drift car LINK to Build Thread. and being a track car having a bov probably isn't something he is worried about.

the maf will work blow through, it just depends on how you set it up, i've just heard that the Z32 can be a bit sensitive as to where you place it. couple of things to keep in mind are, the afm housing isn't designed to take pressure, and unless you have a good oil catch can setup you maf will need constant cleaning and the oil contamination may even reduce its life. i have seen a method where the hotwire was removed from the plastic housing and mounted into a steel i/c pipe which would help with the pressure and joiners blowing off.

a couple other options if you really want to keep a larger size inlet is to get a Q45 afm, they are 90mm which is just under 4". or track down a ford lightning maf which is also 90mm i believe, and is compatible with nistune.

but reducing the turbo inlet down to 3" is fine and will save you alot of trouble. i have my GT35 setup like this runnning 16psi (soon to be more) and without an issue, GT35 also has a 4" inlet. personally i wouldn't worry about it, 3" pipe will be easier in the low mount position, its very tight for space down there once all the i/c piping is in.

I got a 4" to 3" silicone reducer and made up a S/S inlet pipe. Just welded in some nipples for the oil breather and bov return. Then used another silicine joiner to connect the steel pipe to the afm.

I did the same with a alloy bend and retained the stock airbox and airflow meter location. Keeps things nice and quiet. A few people have complained how loud the antisurge 4" inlet can be with no airbox and a pod used instead.

sorry if this is getting repetative but i want to be sure im doing to right thing as i need my car everyday so off the road time needs to be minimal. does everyone agrees gt3076r with .82 rear/oem bolt pattern, 4"-3" reducer off turbo then alloy/steele pipe to afm, 2" elbow into stock i/c piping??

only concern i have is will my car run on 14psi as it sits or do i need to do the fuel pump and nistune before i can drive it?

.82 rear housing does not come in an OEM 6 bolt pattern to the dump pipe. It is 5 bolt, so custom dump pipe

Need a 2" to 2.5" silicone reducing bend onto intercooler pipe. You will need to replace the cooler pipe as well to clear the 3" inch inlet pipe.

I could keep going, but I won't because fitting a gt3076r IW .82 is not straight forward and EVERYTHING need to be modified to get it to fit. Allow alot more than one day to fit if you do not have everything ready before hand.

I am running 14.5psi with mine making 245rwkw, so you will need the support mods to suit

What EXACT turbo do you have and what fitting parts do you have as well?

      Really? That's piss weak. I didn't know they hobbled the shitboxen that badly. OK. So probs need to buy a flywheel too. But that's not too bad.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I already posted some newbie-ish questions here and there but this will be my first "big" post. Last summer I went and fulfilled a kind of childhood wish, because I just thought I needed this experience in my life no matter what. The car I bought is a mildly modded 1995 BCNR33 Vspec. It was repainted to a metallic orange color all around and it had all windows reseated. Not so well done black respray in the trunk and a metallic black in the engine bay. From outside it looks very nice except for a minor paint error on the roof and the rear spats needing new adhesive tape. The inside is pretty clean and no broken plastics, missing or faded buttons. Even the adjustable mirrors and trunk antenna work like a charm. Despite a moderately long list of issues I don't (yet) regret buying this car. Most mechanical problems are just due to age, like worn rubbers here and there. The underside sadly has lots of corrosion, especially to the back. It looks like it either has been driven in the winter for a while or it lived near the saltwater in Japan, the rust is nothing terrible but it'll require to be looked after. Mostly panel gaps and all the mounted components underneath are a bit crusty, but I don't think anywhere has progressed so badly that there's going to be holes. Front right jacking rail is crushed and needs some care so it doesn't develop into a rust crater at some point. Worst part is definitely the strut towers. I thought they looked fine but after taking off the strut bar I noticed that it actually started bulging up on the passenger side. Probably would have passed on the car or negotiated down by some thousand Euros more if I had noticed this before buying, but here we are. Trunk area also has signs that there was a water leak to the interior once but nothing too crazy, I guess lots of Skylines had this at some point. As for the list of (known) issues, I'll try to make this compact. I hope the coloring is self explanatory. Mechanical: -Various busted or soon-to-be busted rubber bushings and ball joints. Will replace ball joints with OEM or better and bushings with polyurethane where possible. -Shaking steering wheel at above 80kph -downshift from 5th to 4th is a bit crunchy unless I rev-match, might just try to renew the shifter assembly, but it's not a priority issue -tailshaft centre bearing could use a replacement, is it worth going 1-piece tailshaft as it doesn't look too fresh all around? Chassis: -underbody corrosion on many spots and in hollow spaces, needs to be treated -corrosion on many bolts, hoses, lines, suspension components, subframes, will be treated when replacing of the bushings is needed as time goes on -strut tower top panels and some of the surrounding panels are rusty, so needs fixing. Will look into doing this with a buddy in the winter, otherwise bite the bullet and pay a professional -driver side door is misaligned to the body and needs to go a slight bit more inwards -both door windows are misaligned and have an airgap where the window meets the door at the B pillar -The Aerocatch latches for the bonnet have locks but no keys, need new keys. -driver side door window is kind of gritty and could use a polish -damaged jacking rails and front frame rails, from people lifting the car the wrong way, might have this fixed by a bodyshop Electrical: -Nismo tachometer is just bouncing and displaying nonsense, supposedly worked fine when the stock ECU was still in the car -An old Greddy boost controller sits on the dash which will be removed as it servers no purpose anymore. -a led segment rpm gauge is on the steering column, will probably also be (re-)moved once the Nismo tacho is working correctly -there was an attempt to make the sound system better by the previous owner but it was just inducing noise all the time, ripped out the amp and filters in the back, no music for now -trunk antenna goes up as long as the radio is on regardless of the mode, I want it to only rise if I choose Radio specifically or per switch -3rd brake light is a bit dimmer than the taillights but everything was converted to LEDs so mabye now it just seems dimmer? -reverse light flickers, have to test if that behavior changes when I fiddle with the gear stick. Hope I can get around changing the switch. -Left side taillight, blinker section has minor water intake and is humid after washing. Other side has a hole in it, probably for that exact reason. I'll probably reseal them entirely and plug the holes. Engine: -minor coolant drips on one or the other hose -rear turbo leaks oil onto the exhaust making the car essentially undriveable due to fire hazard -Oil filter relocation kit has an oil drip at the Dash lines, will probably make a new connection there and tighten real good and pray -throttle body assembly is slightly stuck for the first throttle pedal input after sitting for a while I'm always open to suggestions and advice from more experienced people, I'm sure half of this list is easily dealt with and just requires some time and effort to sort out properly. Once I have some proper pictures of the car I will post some in this thread, I just have to remember to take some more once I get the chance to. Will post updates when I have news on anything, I want to try to keep this thread as kind of a logbook as well. Ultimately my goal for this car is to just enjoy it. An engine rebuild is probably going to happen sometime as well, because it is old after all. It will never be fully new again, I am just not that rich. But I want it to look good, work well and not rot away while I drive it. I'm probably gonna spend a lot of money on this journey, hopefully not an unreasonable amount.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So one of my major issues at the moment is my rear turbo leaking oil on the exhaust (and the general area). I presumed it was the rock hard super old drain hose, which it was not. So now I am in the midst of removing the rear turbo to get access to the banjo bolt that goes into the turbo oil feed. As one of the previous owners accidentally? tore off the OEM oil feed hardline that reaches behind the turbo, they ran braided lines directly to the turbo, presumably PTFE. Now, regardless if the line has rubber or teflon inside, is it just generally a bad idea to do this? I imagine these lines get quite hot being between the engine, turbo core and exhaust manifold. I suppose it's not too far fetched to think the line may even have melted. I'd love to hear your opinions on this as as the replacement OEM hardline piece is 130 per unit. And cutting open the currently mounted line to see inside will mean I just have to get a replacement either way. So far I am hoping maybe the bolt just loosened or (god forbid) they forgot one of the crush washers.

      If it's a factory 20de manual probably has the 6 bolt flywheel in which case the det clutches won't work as they're 9 bolt.

      All RB push clutches are interchangeable. AFAIK, the 4cyl ones are not. Different flywheels. The RB small box is not identical to the 4cyl boxes. Just very similar.
