just organising some AFM delete pipes for my R, but was wondering if there is a less restrictive way of planning the intake from the pods now that i don't have to run the AFM's? ie, do you have more flexibility to do something 'better' with the intake piping? or is there no real gains there? (i'm thinking there isn't really anything there worth the hassle, but thought i'd ask anyway)

No real gains :)

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Means less money i might potentially spend!

Be epic and run no pod?

hahaha, you first :D

I can finally say this :D back to stock and gut afm's

yeah, now that i think about it, that's probably the best option isn't it. Buy dead afm's or cheap stockies, and gut them... what would stock GTR AFM's cost? $50? oh well.

^ well yeah there is that minor issue.

You can get stuffed stock ones for less than $50 surely Dan :)

I think I might even have one lying around in my apartment... Infact i might have two, i'll have a look.

There's not a lot of point in having non-functional AFMs installed. The cops know how to unplug them and see what it does to the way the car runs.

not really thinking about it from that point of view, was purely thinking about it from a $$ pov, delete pipes made vs gutted standard AFM's - i think AFM's would be the last of the problems with the boys in blue. You'd be unlucky to have a cop know about unplugging and running the car from what i've heard *touch wood*, but then again, it is Victoria

dude, if you have them lying around and don't want them, i'd be happy to take them off your hands. Never hurts to have a collection of stock parts :)

Here is a little intake mod you can do Dan. It's a little bit more dicking around though.

Rear turbo intake pipe

Here you can see the inside of a standard one. Note the "Hump"

Modified one. Doesnt look pretty but thats just the flash doing it's thing.

Front standard pipe with the modified one from the outside.

Standard vs modified internally. Note the lack of "Hump"

It definately can't hurt. The rear one comes in a fair way, reducing from the 2 inch pipe to a '1.7ish' at its smallest point.

Don't have back to back's as the modified set is going on my engine..... when it comes :D

That hump is not there by accident. Would definitely be to condition the flow in some desirable way.

Cops playing with your afms ? well the issue there is they arnt suppoed to touch the car let alone unpluging parts off it !!!

In Victoria, state in discussion, you get pulled up at a random station (Pol/EPA) - they most certainly they can.

Would be the same in NSW as the EPA are now taking quite a foot hold the same as Vic from what friends of mine have been saying of late.

Lube up Canadians ;)

Just don't be a 'brother' and hangout/do skidzzzzz/be a tool/eat kababs in the 'known' hotspots and you should be ok.

Something constructive; Dan have a look at how big the turbo inlet is vs the width of the AFM :)

I've had mine in there since buying the car in 2005 and they've been cosmetic since about a fortnight after purchasing it. Those AFM delete pipes from HKS are a rip but what's worse is they really don't look stock IMO which defeats the purpose. If you put the stock air box back with a good filter and intake you'd be looking more stock again and that won't be a restriction either

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
