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.

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?

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.

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.

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).

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
