just organising some AFM delete pipes for my R, but was wondering if there is a less restrictive way of planning the intake from the pods now that i don't have to run the AFM's? ie, do you have more flexibility to do something 'better' with the intake piping? or is there no real gains there? (i'm thinking there isn't really anything there worth the hassle, but thought i'd ask anyway)

No real gains :)

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Means less money i might potentially spend!

Be epic and run no pod?

hahaha, you first :D

I can finally say this :D back to stock and gut afm's

yeah, now that i think about it, that's probably the best option isn't it. Buy dead afm's or cheap stockies, and gut them... what would stock GTR AFM's cost? $50? oh well.

^ well yeah there is that minor issue.

You can get stuffed stock ones for less than $50 surely Dan :)

I think I might even have one lying around in my apartment... Infact i might have two, i'll have a look.

There's not a lot of point in having non-functional AFMs installed. The cops know how to unplug them and see what it does to the way the car runs.

not really thinking about it from that point of view, was purely thinking about it from a $$ pov, delete pipes made vs gutted standard AFM's - i think AFM's would be the last of the problems with the boys in blue. You'd be unlucky to have a cop know about unplugging and running the car from what i've heard *touch wood*, but then again, it is Victoria

dude, if you have them lying around and don't want them, i'd be happy to take them off your hands. Never hurts to have a collection of stock parts :)

Here is a little intake mod you can do Dan. It's a little bit more dicking around though.

Rear turbo intake pipe

Here you can see the inside of a standard one. Note the "Hump"

Modified one. Doesnt look pretty but thats just the flash doing it's thing.

Front standard pipe with the modified one from the outside.

Standard vs modified internally. Note the lack of "Hump"

It definately can't hurt. The rear one comes in a fair way, reducing from the 2 inch pipe to a '1.7ish' at its smallest point.

Don't have back to back's as the modified set is going on my engine..... when it comes :D

That hump is not there by accident. Would definitely be to condition the flow in some desirable way.

Cops playing with your afms ? well the issue there is they arnt suppoed to touch the car let alone unpluging parts off it !!!

In Victoria, state in discussion, you get pulled up at a random station (Pol/EPA) - they most certainly they can.

Would be the same in NSW as the EPA are now taking quite a foot hold the same as Vic from what friends of mine have been saying of late.

Lube up Canadians ;)

Just don't be a 'brother' and hangout/do skidzzzzz/be a tool/eat kababs in the 'known' hotspots and you should be ok.

Something constructive; Dan have a look at how big the turbo inlet is vs the width of the AFM :)

I've had mine in there since buying the car in 2005 and they've been cosmetic since about a fortnight after purchasing it. Those AFM delete pipes from HKS are a rip but what's worse is they really don't look stock IMO which defeats the purpose. If you put the stock air box back with a good filter and intake you'd be looking more stock again and that won't be a restriction either

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
