Im looking at putting some cam gears in, dont want anthing crazy just a stage 1, would this give a noticeable power gain and / or should i just purchase some cam gears and tune my existing cams?

Also AFM z32's have been know to be good, as well as the nismo's, is one better then the other and would this give a noticeable power gain?

I here that the gtr pump can flow up to 450hp, it this tru and what would be the max hp atw that the fuel pump could handle, what is a cheap, good upgrade that will make 500hp at the wheels.

Thanks again, all of you have been very helpful!!!!!!!!

current mods are:

gtr, aftermarket fmic, apexi pods, twin hks 25/30, 3.5inch straight through exhaust, apexi power fc, 550cc injectors, blitz dsb, apexi rsm, Twin plate nismo clutch

Both will give you gains. It depends on how much power you are after. Cams, installed properly are not cheap as you need to re-shim the valve train. You can run both gears & cams.

The AFM's wont give you a power gain. They will allow the ECU to properly read how much airflow the engine is getting. The upside of the Nismo units is that they will bolt up to your airbox. This is not important if you have pods. Understand though that Z32 AFM's need different pods. Apexi do a nice kit.

Nismo make good uprated fuel pumps. They are a direct fit. Don't use your old one because it is, um, old. It is bad practice to max out any component of your fuel system. Fuel pumps tend to fail by degrees rather than suffer a single, catastrophic failure.

Also understand that at 500rwhp your engine internals will have a short, nasty life.

lastly, get yourself an oil cooler & a catch can if you haven't already done so.

No problem, shall do? Why would this help??

I guess this would not assist me with power though?

An oil cooler because RB26's heat their oil up alarmingly quickly.

A catch can because, well have a search for the oil control for rb's thread.

If you are going to make large power then you need to look after the engine as best you can. So you need to think about temperature control (oil, water, intercooler & inlet air).

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
