Hey guys, before you blow me down, i have searched, like lots, but cannot find if the Z32 afm's fit up to the stock r32 gtr airbox, all posts say say they use pod filters....

so basically, want to hear from you guys with the stock air box in place as i'm keen to keep my engine looking stock.

anyone know if the z32 will bolt up to the airbox, also there seems to be quite some argument whether the z32 will fit into the stock pipework with some stretching, or am i looking to make new pipework.

all else failing i will go for the nismo units, which i know are great, but are also damn expensive........

cheers guys

No they wont

Z32 has 80mm shell

Oem rb26 has 65mm shell

Nismo for direct replacement

Carry on

Yes they will

Z32 has 80mm outter diameter

Oem pipe is 65mm inner diameter, but will stretch

Nismo direct replacement is the easier option, but a z32 will fit and can look factory.

Ohh really??

Yes the rubber piping will stretch, but it does not bolt on to a stock BNR32 airbox

no, the Z32 afm's will not bolt on to the stock airbox. the spacing of the 4 holes on the end of the AFm that bolts to the airbox is different. you may be able to make them fit by drilling new holes in the airbox and using bolts to hold it.

far better option is just buy the nismo afms. they are not that expensive. about the same price as GENUINE Z32 afms if not a bit cheaper. the nismo ones will fit perfectly to your stock airbox and stock intake piping.

looking at your pic, the bolt pattern to the air box is the same then????

Bolt patterns are different but as you can see it can be made to not only fit but also look factory. Nismo is without a doubt the easiest and best option, but is NOT the only option.

I'm going to be straight out honest mate - I'd get a brand new one. I have purchased AFMs in the past that have worked but been f**ked the whole time and caused tuning issues for a long time.

For example - I could never set my Nismo injectors at the proper settings. Never knew why, car was always just a little weird even though it ran fine. CHanged the AFM, and problem solved.

Modded 2 stock 32GTR airboxes now for Z32 AFMs. You have to redrill holes and use 8bolts and nuts, as well as silicone to seal AFM's and nuts. Also check the alignment for the plugs and other piping that surrounds the AFM's in the engine bay.

Best of all, looks factory.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
