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).

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
