Hey Tim

It's Chris, I saw you at the workshop.

I reckon it's personally up to you, because everyone has different priorities. Some prefer looks, some prefer go, some like both.

Personally, I like both. If I had 2k ish to spend, I'd probably get a highflow metal cat, split front/dumps, then i'd get an electronic boost controller and increase the boost a bit.

If I got more money, I'd then go for wheels and be looking at a turbo upgrade, pfc + tune.

Keep in mind though, unless if you can get those kakimotos second hand, they'll cost you a fortune like all jap stuff. You'll need tyres too, so it'll probably cost you 3k+ unless if you can get them secondhand.

There is so much you can do to the car, so it depends on how far you want to go and which path you want to take (performance or show).

Ive got a power fc coming for the GTR - normal AFM model.

Whywould you need Z32 AFM's with standard turbos? Overkill?

Not that you would need them but if bought, the price would be similar to the D-Jetro kit because the D-Jetro needs the harness, sensors etc...

.....and I am a little wrong in saying it cost me $2500 installed because that also included a PRofec B-Spec II.

What you read was wrong. The standard RB26 AFM's are good for him there is no reason to change. He wont need to change up to Z32 or Nismo AFM's until he's changed the turbos most likely.

The Z32 AFM isn't primarily used for it's larger diameter. The main reason people switch to them is the better sensor which is more able to accurately measure higher airflow volume. The RB25 AFM is the same shape as the Z32 AFM but you wouldn't switch to it because it uses the same sensor as the RB26 AFM and the whole thing would be a waste of money because you would max out the sensor well before you maxed out the airflow capacity of the AFM.

perhaps? i must admit a little bit of information is often dangerous!!! :)

I found the article....Page 55, High Performance Imports magazine. GTR Special Issue #4. Story by Martin Donnon titled "Low 12's for Low Bucks". Keir Wilsons bnr32 on the cover...

"... the stock 65mm items will start to add some of their own restriction now, especially with some taller boost pressure in store, so go hunting for some 80mm units.

Dont worry about spending big bucks on a Z32 300ZX airlow meters, as RB20DET 80mm airlflow meters are identical in size and with only a slight calibration difference. Good enough for what we have in mind. Pay $200 for each of these.

With bigger airflow meters changing the map range of the engine..."

I can scan the rest of the article (actually quite informative imho) for anyone to have an ...apparently ill informed read of... according to Sewid, by request.

Be great to get a copy if you don't mind Franks.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
