Ive just got a couple of z32 afm's for my gtr and when i went to change them over the plug doesnt fit. is it a matter of undoing the 4 screws and changing the plug over or do i need to do something else? probably a dumb question but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Someone must be able to help me? All i really need to know is how do i get my new z32 afm's to work on my car?

I bought my genuine Tomei Z32 AFM plugs from Just Jap - They usually have heaps in stock

yeah the apexi 80mm kit is an option for gtr users who want to switch to z32s but as most gtr owners would realise switching from stock afms to z32s is a costly exercise. almost $800 easily.

z32s - $350 each new

80mm pods - $90 - $120 each

afm to pod piping - $200 odd

silicon joiners - turbo duct to 80mm - $100 maybe???

do most retain the stock turbo ducts and then use joiners or replace the turbo ducts as well with 80mm suited items?

Thanx again paul. I wish someone had told me it was such a costly exercise, everyone ive spoken to just says put the z32's on they flow better and you'll be able to get more power out of it. My own fault i guess for thinking that anything on a gtr would be cheap and easy. Can anyone tell me where i could get a adapter kit from?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
