How much and where from matty? Ive been looking at the whole kit lately, hopefully it might resolve the choo-choo turbo shuffle the -5s have

Kudos Motorsport pete. The suction kit was a tad over 1300 freighted from qld. Hard pipe kit installed last week was 650.

Somehow I dont think its the boost flutter you have to worry about pete (stock wastegates ftw) :whistling: You still attending the dyno day? I can't wait to hear your 33 at full noise in the shed :D

Yeah I'll be there don't you worry.

Does that suction kit fit your stock afms or only z32s?

Aaah should've mentioned that... I got the last kit from kudos that is compatible with stock afms. The rest are Z32 jobbies.. I'm gonna cheat and use nismo items..

It might pay to have a bit of a google and find out which brand you prefer the look of mate, some people prefer the HKS kit, good luck finding one in oz though!

Only problem is now my inlet plenum would look much better chromed and polished, looks like my stealth engine bay approach is dead :whistling:

Anybody know the best place to buy a Nistune for series 2 rb25 r33? An do you need to supply your own ecu or does it come complete to bolt in?

I didn't think these were supported, so I checked their website (http://nistune.com/equipment-products-type2.php):

• ECR33 Skyline (RB25DET)*1

*1 ECR33 RB25DET Skyline can use HCR32DET ECU (no VCT) or Z32 VG30DETT ECU (internal modifications required)

So yeah - R32 ECU if you don't want VCT, or Z32 ECU if you do.

Yeah nismo afms is what I'm running too hence why I mention it. I think I'll probably just import one when the time comes. It's good to know it works with the stock size ones though, I couldn't find any info about it on trusts website.

Sorry pistol I may not have explained that properly. The greddy kit comes in two variations: standard afm and z32 afm compatible. I managed to snag the last one on kudos' shelves that retain stock items.

That way I can run nismo afm's later on if need be. try www.rhdjapan.com .... never fails :)

So you bought two separate kits, the intake and the I/C piping? Thought they came in one kit?

Yep seperate kits. The "Hard Pipe Kit" replaces the factory rubber i/c piping. The "Suction Kit" replaces the factory intake piping and airbox. A smidge under 2k sent to my door..

yeah thats what i wasnt sure of as i hadnt been able to find anywhere selling the standard size version, even rhdjapan

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
