Hey guys, before you blow me down, i have searched, like lots, but cannot find if the Z32 afm's fit up to the stock r32 gtr airbox, all posts say say they use pod filters....

so basically, want to hear from you guys with the stock air box in place as i'm keen to keep my engine looking stock.

anyone know if the z32 will bolt up to the airbox, also there seems to be quite some argument whether the z32 will fit into the stock pipework with some stretching, or am i looking to make new pipework.

all else failing i will go for the nismo units, which i know are great, but are also damn expensive........

cheers guys

No they wont

Z32 has 80mm shell

Oem rb26 has 65mm shell

Nismo for direct replacement

Carry on

Yes they will

Z32 has 80mm outter diameter

Oem pipe is 65mm inner diameter, but will stretch

Nismo direct replacement is the easier option, but a z32 will fit and can look factory.

Ohh really??

Yes the rubber piping will stretch, but it does not bolt on to a stock BNR32 airbox

no, the Z32 afm's will not bolt on to the stock airbox. the spacing of the 4 holes on the end of the AFm that bolts to the airbox is different. you may be able to make them fit by drilling new holes in the airbox and using bolts to hold it.

far better option is just buy the nismo afms. they are not that expensive. about the same price as GENUINE Z32 afms if not a bit cheaper. the nismo ones will fit perfectly to your stock airbox and stock intake piping.

looking at your pic, the bolt pattern to the air box is the same then????

Bolt patterns are different but as you can see it can be made to not only fit but also look factory. Nismo is without a doubt the easiest and best option, but is NOT the only option.

I'm going to be straight out honest mate - I'd get a brand new one. I have purchased AFMs in the past that have worked but been f**ked the whole time and caused tuning issues for a long time.

For example - I could never set my Nismo injectors at the proper settings. Never knew why, car was always just a little weird even though it ran fine. CHanged the AFM, and problem solved.

Modded 2 stock 32GTR airboxes now for Z32 AFMs. You have to redrill holes and use 8bolts and nuts, as well as silicone to seal AFM's and nuts. Also check the alignment for the plugs and other piping that surrounds the AFM's in the engine bay.

Best of all, looks factory.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
