That looks interesting. Could just stick that in my 2.5" intercooler piping and forget about it rather than having to try and fit the Z32 in there. I am still not sure if i should put it in the hot or cold side of the piping though...

cold side, keeps Mr AFM happier

My Q45 was almost out of voltage @ 281 RWKW (5.05V). If memory serves, 5.1V is the upper ceiling. This is on an RB30DET, GT3076R 0.82 A/R, 256/8.5mm IN/EX, 3" Turbo back (no mufflers). Only reason I went with it was because a mate had just stripped a front cut with a VH45 in it and sold it to me for sweet FA.

If I had my time again, I'd stick with the trialed and true Z32.

Have heard good things about the R35 AFM's but my build was intended to be stealth and look stock. Using this AFM with the stock airbox would require some work I wasn't prepared to take on.

I am personally against the idea of putting hot wire AFMs into the blow through configuration. They see so much oil in the air flow that they get dirty. And that's before you consider that they weren't intended to run with lots of positive pressure inside. They are not that mechanically strong, nor is the sealing of the electronics' penetrations into the inside built to withstand pressure. I would rather go MAP sensing than blow through AFM.

Did you have a look at the HPX AFM's that have been linked GTSBoy? Very different from just popping a standard Z32 in the cooler piping.

Yeah, have seen them before. Obviously physically stronger than a stocker, but notwithstanding the fact that they're using a different sensor element, sticking them in an oily flow is still a bit iffy. Otherwise it seems like the smart way to go about getting a bigger AFM for Nistune installations.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
