you'll need the z32 after you hit 300kw tho... or go for the more expensive nismo afm

speaking of z32s, wheres the cheapest place to get em from, with the plug?

-D

Granted the extra 15mm of the Z32 over the standard size Nismo body may make a difference but not as great as what you would expect cause they have similar resolution and the Nismo bolts straight on with no extra wiring......I'd be ditching the standard restrictive GTR piping if you have a few spare $$$ and go for some hard piping.

Also, PowerFC has a default select feature for the Z32 to get you started whereas manual imput is required for the Nismos.....not an issue unless you're tuning it yourself.

Suppose it boils down to price & personal preferance at the end of the day.

All good points Pete. I myself went the Nismo route, firstly I got them cheap, second, they are direct bolt up, no mods required and I don't like molesting looms and third, if you're really sneaky you can go through regency with them on. Z32's; no chance

Anyone got any ideas how to remove a Vspec decal from the boot lid without fking the paint?

Prepsol, or a thin nylon blade like we do at work (cut down ice cream containers work too)

Prepsol won't hurt 2-pac but will acrylic.......just don't use thinners, LOL :)

prepsol or wax and grease remover shouldn't have any affect on acrylic, but yeah thinners is a big no no.

dammit u guys got me thinking

i was gonna go nismo till shane got me thinking about the diameter

and yeah I wanna keep it as regency friendly as possible.

i dont have a powerfc and wont be using that, instead ill be getting a nistune daughterboard for my ecu

just wish the nismo afms werent so damn expensive

Be vigilant... I got my AFM's for under $600

yeah ive seen a few places with them for that much, but ive also seen a pair of z32's for the $300 mark ;\

nismo is probably worth the extra $300 tho

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
