thanx guys I appreciate all the input, it has been very interesting looking at it form the big picture i think i might go to a single z32, and just use 2 x 1K Ohm resistors and make a voltage divider to feed both voltage inputs of the pfc, but in saying that i dont know if there will be any problem with joining the two pfc inputs?

the powerfc takes an average of both AFM signals to work out load axis calc

you should really use two airflow meters

agreed. at $350 for a new Z32 afm it's about the cheapest thing you can buy for a GTR... hell my oil change costs nearly that much by the time I fill it with nearly 8 litres of chrono 300V (extended sump). and oil's a consumable. you only have to buy the afm once.....

sorry paul can you please elaborate on that, i understand that it needs two inputs, for arguments sake lets say the z32 is reading 2v get this voltage and divide it into two with the voltage divider, and then feed it into each input to the ecu as if it was two airflow meteres? wouldnt this work? i was thinking of also puting two diodes just so there is no interferance between the two inputs but this will drop the voltage by 0.6v so i dont think il be doing the diodes in the end, but dose any one know how much current a z32 signal out draws?

please see my drawing, it was just a quick sketch but let me know what you guys think...

you can pair up the signal wire and others have done it so you have 1 afm and run the same signal wire to both inputs

i still think you will max just the same as GTR maf is 65mm x 2 whereas single Z32 is 80mm

yes, that's my point. a single VG30 afm is not going to get you much (if any) gain over the stock TWIN Rb26 afms. sure twin VG30 meters will be able to measure heaps more air, but if you're going to do single VG30 may as well just keep twin RB26.

On the previous page it was stated that Z32s can read 370kw, so;

- for less than 300kw use the standard afms

- for 300-370kw, a single Z32

- for 370+kw, use two Z32s

Of course that's if you're only considering metering capability. You then need to look at plumbing and cost to come up with an answer.

Thank you, hence the reason wanting to use the single VG30, i am running out of room in my engine bay, dose anyone know how much current draw is on the signal + wire of the afm? and i am unsure of the power expectation as i bought my turbo second hand it is a K28 Blitz turbo and i could not find much info on it... also with standar internals and only stage one cams what is the max boost that a rb 26 can handle with lets say a t76 or t88 and also how much power? running premium fuel, i know that the e85 will have bueeter fuigures but i cant be bothered mucking about.

hey guys here are the pics as promised..!! notice the home made splitter afm intake pipe, way cheaper than the off the shelve item...

again if anyone knows the current draw on the afm sig +ve please let me know i know its small but i need to know for the voltage divider..

It'll be interesting to see if do/don't have issues with the 90 degree and merge that close.

You tend to wanna push push them closer to behind the headlight where you've put the P/S res.

But wait and see i guess.

i am unsure of the power expectation as i bought my turbo second hand it is a K28 Blitz turbo and i could not find much info on it...

Turbo is make or break for the application. Typically people first get an idea of what sort of power they want to make, choose the smallest turbo that comfortably meets that power goal, then build whatever else is required around that. You're doing it wrong :nyaanyaa:

also with standar internals and only stage one cams what is the max boost that a rb 26 can handle with lets say a t76 or t88 and also how much power? running premium fuel, i know that the e85 will have bueeter fuigures but i cant be bothered mucking about.

Its a grey area but my guess is that you'll want to keep power below 350rwkw with a stock bottom end. Doesnt really matter what turbo or what psi, although the lower the revs the better.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
