Would probably wanna go a bigger set of turbos as well depending on what power your chasing

700cc injectors will tale u up to around the 360-400rwkw mark depending on who tunes it

Some people like to throw in some mild cams as well though some would say stock are fine

Probs want at least 3 1/2 inch exhaust as well

Thanks for the advise guys. From what people are saying, I might just leave the standard injectors and AFM's and get it tuned at 16-19psi. And just see what I get. The injectors have been Sonic cleaned, flowed & tested with new caps, so they would atleast be in good healthy condition. And the AFM's have been properly cleaned aswell.

Yep, good plan. If the injectors hadnt already been cleaned then i'd suggest replace them and dont bother with the FPR. When you do upgrade the injectors you wont need the FPR anymore, but since you're pushing the stockers to their limit, it will be useful.

Re: cam gears, sounds like you can include them now since the injectors and afms are out of the picture :thumbsup: They're not essential of course, but if you were to add them later you'll need to pay for another tune.

EDIT: If you have N1 cams, the cam gears will be less useful.

get bigger injectors incase you want to increase your power down the track, saves you doing it again.

Cam gears, waste of time as a lot of tuners dont bother playing with it. Just put in a set of Tomei Type B Poncams 260/260 9.15mm lift. :)

300awkwkw easy peasy

I'm not even sure what the FPR even does lol. Just heard the Nismo one is a good upgrade. So your saying with standard injectors, its not necessary for a FPR?

Yea still deceding. I wanted to see how these standard injectors go, since they've been all cleaned & reflowed. and I'm after 300rwkw. wont want to keep chasing more.

Yea I heard Cam gears are a bit overkill, unless your getting serious about your car. But each to their own.

Re: FPR - no, other way around. The FPR can be used to raise the pressure in the fuel rail, so the injectors flow a bit more. Its a hack, but if you only need a little more flow, its economical. If you getting bigger injectors there's no need for the extra flow from bumping up the pressure, as they will have enough flow already.

On RB26s many people have had good results using adjustable cam gears. The argument to avoid them because the tuner may not touch them, should be an arguement to get a better tuner, rather than to avoid the gears! For Cost/benefit, most setups will find cam gears a far better alternative than aftermarket cams. Anyways, they're certainly not required.

Cams gears on a RB26 are the best value modification short of upping the boost, which is free.

Cam gears for sure, tuners that don't touch em are I lazy to pull the cover and adjust em. I no my tuner would pull the covers off and change em, because he no's he will get a better result by doing it. I've got a FPR on my car, rail pressure bumped up alil bit, and I make 312 kw easy, factory afms, and injectors. Don't listen to all this bullshit about changing injectors now, it won't make any diffrence.

If u are going for more power, than change the injectors, your Gunna have to get it retuned to make the more power anyway, don't waste ya money.

Get it tuned as it is. Put some cam gears on and be done with it. It will take u a lil while to get over the 300kw

Thanks Deano, Im not after more than really 300rwkw, so I like the what you said. Power FC, Boost control kit, Nismo fuel pump, Nismo FPR, cam gears, and a tune on 16-18psi. See how I go hitting 300rwkw!! :)

Don't really need the fuel pump either mate lol

It is good insurance though

Really? that saves me $500, I can always drop one in later, if I find it's not flowing enough after the tune. So all I need is the Power FC, boost kit, Fuel Pressure Regulator, cam gears. and im set. Awsome!

Hopefully on my freshly run in N1 spec motor with the N1 turbo's i'll get close to my 300rwkw on 17 psi or so.

Appreciate all in the input guys.

Stock pump is fine for your power levels, still has a fair bit in it

Also buy your parts from rhdjapan... Heaps cheaper ;) I paid 350ish for my nismo pump and 660 for my sard 800cc injectors

Hi guys, just a quick update, and just need some advise before I go spend more money lol... A background on the car.

I bought the car with a fully rebuilt motor to N1 specs. Has 2000km on it. The turbo's are the R32 GTR ones that have been profesionally stripped out, rebuilt with Steel wheels & internals to all N1 specs. So I guess they are New N1 turbo's. Car just has a 3'' from the turbo's, de-cat pipe and then 3.5'' to the back. HKS Pods. My power goal is 300rwkw, idealy 300-320rwkw but no more. That's enough for me on a street only car. Iv'e just gone out and bought all this brand new:

Apexi power FC & Hand controller

Apexi boost control kit

Nismo fuel pump

HKS Cam gears & HKS belt

**In the process of getting Nismo 600cc's or Sard 700cc's**

My main question is, will these parts with 16-19psi on my motor; get me 300rwkw or do I need to upgrade the AFM's aswell?? I was looking into buying the Nismo AFM's, but thats another $900. Am I better to keep that money or go out and buy them now. Keeping in mind my goal is 300-320rwkw and won't be looking for more power in the future. Ive already spent a heep on money on those other bits, just want to know if I need to get these AFM's aswell for my goal.

Much appreciate your input guys.

Cheers

You will not need afms's youll make 300 with the factory ones.

Save your money for later

OP, your rebuild N1 turbos will be old R32/33 tech, so they wont spool as well as R34 N1's.

I'd also swap out the decat for a 3.5in metal matrix cat. It will be far better for the environment, the colour/cleanliness of your rear bar, and your wallet if you get caught ;)

Yea I realize there just rebuilt R32 turbo's. Im not sure apart from rebuilding it with steel internals, if they high flowed or put other's housing's in it. I'll have to find out. But I think they did it all properly as they specialize in rebuilding and high flowing turbo's. But I can't afford a new set of turbo's and these should be fine for 300rwkw.

Yea the cat is a good idea too. Thanks

Well im glad I don't need to fork out more money for AFM's if my stock ones will flow 300rwkw. They have been cleaned aswell if that helps.

You must change the fuel pump.

It is cheap insurance really, everything else you keep talking about isn't required - but the fuel pump definitely is. It is just a ridiculous gamble for a $400 part.

If you find out it's now flowing enough 5 months later, when the engine pings and destroys itself - you'll wish you'd changed it.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
