Hey Guys,

Have recently bought this (http://www.rhdjapan.com/apex-i-super-suction-kit-80mm-maf-rb26dett-skyline-gt-r-60776) Apexi Kit to put on my '96 GT-R but I didn't order MAF's.

Can I just put on standard Z32 MAF's (part number is 22680-30P00 A36000N62) and if I do, do I need to change anything to do with my ECU, fuel mapping etc. because I've changed from AF's to MAF'S?

Also, my mechanic says that even if these weren't an issue, the piping + pods still won't fit in, would this be due to the turbo box or have the company sent me the wrong piping?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers

Sau wUt?!

Af's to Mafs?

Are you going from standard AFM's to z32 AFM's?

What ecu do you have, you know that the standard air box can flow 400kw.

You know that without enough information we cant help you. I dont know about you but Im not a mind reader. If I was id be a poker king

If u have a stock ecu u can still use the kit, however u will need silicone reducers to be able to use ur standard afm's (aka mafs) as the kit is designed for z32's.

Oh and u cant use ur standard airbox with this kit

You can fit the metal pipe to the AFM's via a reducer as Jez said above but as for bolting the actual AFM to the filter it wont fit as the above filter has been pre drilled for the holes to line up with the 80mm Z32 AFM as opposed to the 65 standard/nismo one.

Get your self some Z32 AFM's and take the car for a retune :)

Thanks for the help guys. My mechanic said we could put reducers in but yea the fact that the stock MAF's wouldn't fit was confusing thanks to the holes and the place I bought the kit didn't say anything about replacing sensors or airboxes or ecu. Wouldn't reducers defeat the purpose of running a 3inch pipe instead of 2.5? Pretty sure I'm gonna go a power fc with z32s, new airbox and a retune.

JEZ - What do I need to change with the airbox for the kit to fit. Parts/Part numbers would be much appreciated? Do you know any tuners in FNQ that are handy with a GT-R, Dyno and Power FC? They seem few and far between. The AF's were stuffed by the first "good" mechanic that serviced the car and have had trouble finding a good mechanic since. I'm seriously considering driving down the coast just to get someone who really knows what they are doing..

Hakouden - the ECU is stock, everything in it is stock except for the exhaust. I don't mind the current capabilities of the car it's just getting stuff to fit and work how it was made to. The filters I bought it with were starting to perish and thought I'd help free up the breathing, thats why I'm on here asking. It's the first real mod to the car I've done and can be hard to get a straight answer from anyone except here.

Thanks again for the help

Where is FNQ?

Im honestly not sure u will be able to use the stock airbox unless both intakes were made custom from the front of the turbo's.

run the pods but make a pod cover to enclose them in.

Heres a R34 GTR i installed te piping kit to a week ago. It went on to make 325kw with -5 turbo's

0D25BCA2-2880-41BB-8616-A89230CBB39F-11511-0000033C83937915.jpg

Yea, I realise now I can't use the stock airbox I just can't find anywhere that sells aftermarkets for 33 gtr's. Just Jap has them for 32 gtrs and 33 gtst's but nothing said for mine. FNQ is far north queensland. Cairns, Townsville etc. I live in Melbourne at the moment but the car is back home.

I think for now I'll run reducers from the MAFS to the piping until the ECU and z32's arrive but I need the airbox too. Is this the sort of thing i'd need from the MAF's to the piping - http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19445&cat=293&page=3 ? That way I can put the filters, airbox and piping in and when the z32's and ECU arrive I can just change the afms over and retune?

Thanks

mate with that kit please completely forget the word airbox, you cant use the standard box, the only "aftermarket box" is an arc item, but then again you still need to use the standard intake pipes for that kit

YOU NEED POD FILTERS like the above r34, then make a cover for them

also you should do alot more research and find out exactly what you need before ordering parts next time

also there is no need for a company to state that you need a new ecu or tune, when ever parts are changed that affect the performance of a car it is common sense that it should be tuned accordingly to suit the new modifications

Thanks Chris. That's the answer I've been after. I've got the pod filters already. Like I said mate they're the first real mods I've done to the car and you've gotta start somewhere.

Thanks for help guys will chuck some pictures up when it's done.

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
