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).

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
