1) SARDs are "generally" OK being a drop in injector that re-uses the old plugs

2) Camshafts? Might as well get the Tomei Poncam + Gear package if you got $5k to play with

3) Nismo / Tomei fuel pump will kick Bosch ass anyday

4) Nismo FPR (straight bolt on to the factory fuel rail)

Sards are not direct fit from what i saw. I watched them being installed onto a GTR two weeks ago :)

Was a bit of farting around to get the connector to fit, least they are not as bad as years ago... if you count that as a good thing

Cams for 300rwkw you wont need i dont think cost vs gain the cam gears come out clear winners for a couple hundred.

Dont see how one fuel pump is better than another, especially when price comes into it

I also doubt you'll need an FPR. Stock ones are fine.

Hanyou, send a pm to ferni, find out his setup as he has around 300rwkw on stock AFM/injectors.

Cheers

So the plugs need to be changed / adapted with the SARDs?

I'd go for the camshafts - 300rwkw + high flowed turbos will be more than enough to make use of the cams (I'm only talking about Poncams here 260 degree 9.15mm lift).

Fuel pump; Tomei and Nismo take 20minutes to install... Bosch pumps take more because 1) there is no bracket; 2) you have to locate a good place for fuel pickup that will also reach the bottom 3) you need to do new wiring (possibly even the constant voltage trick). For the extra $200 I would get a pump that is completely drop in with nothing to worry about.

FPR is not required; agreed. Nonetheless - not a bad thing to have if you want to push out that little bit extra or set a base pressure to go by - I know of a few tuners who do this.

I'd be looking at a catch can system as well - quite a few GTRs with 300rwkw start to experience oil problems (especially those that see a lot of track time).

Yeah from what i saw :huh:

Needed some love, wasnt a direct fit, and, even with the mod... i wouldnt be confident of them not presenting issues further in time

ive decided cam gears will be enough, i've pm'd ferni about his setup as well. however id be assuming that the injectors/fuel pump would be running right to their limit?.

another question: do injectors need to be fitted same time with engine management?.

back onto the fuel pump topic. the only reason i was gna opt for the nismo/tomei pump was due to there is no sock thats attatched to the bosch?. ive had a 040 in my r33 gtst before didnt have any problems. i guess it just comes down to who installs it?

Get the engine management and the injectors put in at the same time and save of installation/tuning costs unless you install the ECU yourself (I did with my PFC) and run on the base map for a short while.

f**k pfc get a wolf v500 $1795.00

Real helpful

things i think you need.

nismo pump

sard 700cc injectors (they are pretty much a direct fit on RB26, perhaps you will need new o-rings, but i have seen people re-use them).

tomei poncams 260/9.15mm (get the set with pulleys, it's cheap)

Apexi Power FC

and a good boost controller if you don't have one already. easy as pie. and the nismo pump and power FC you can install yourself to save a couple of bucks.

AFM.s You will need the RB25 or Z32 Type...Plus adaptors....

Or if you have the money...Nismo type...same size as yours...fit on and tune

Sorry, but you are wrong. Unless hanyou's AFM's are already on the way out there is no need to change them.

offnsv: have you got a part number for those injectors? thanks

ill stick with the nismo pump option then since i can do it myself lol.

can someone explain the difference between poncams and cams? or are they the same thing?..

if i could save money on just using cam gears to hit my power level it would be better for me as i could get some rims.. LOL

poncams=cams. it's just tomei's name for their bolt in camshaft range.

i'm not sure how well these turbos perform so it's hard to say, but it certainly is possible to get 300rwkw without cams as long as you have the right turbos and run enough boost through them.

personally I would buy the cams and gears together from tomei. the set is quite cheap for what you get.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
