Air flow meter. You will require 1 when aiming for above 220rwkw using a nistune or any air flow meter ecu. Google would have yielded the same sort of answer. There is so much info online about skylines. You should spend a bit of time researching and you'll get an idea of what needs to be done. Try and concentrate on the more current sort of info.

Best to decide where you are going to get it tuned and what you are going to be doing to the car before you buy an ECU as this will decide what ECU you should be getting. No point getting it now and finding that you need something different later on.

What Bosch injectors should I get

Decide on your power goal, the turbo required and then work back from there. Scotty may be able to supply injectors that will work with your existing rail. Don't buy anything until you know what it does and why you need it.

I would just save up for a while until you have a decent budget to spend and are able do get all the mods at once. In the meantime you can get a better understanding of what parts you want by reading up and asking the forum.

You've got all the basic mods and should just enjoy the car for what it is in the meantime. Im guessing you recently got it?

Enjoy it as is until you're willing to drop 5k on it to piss off the AFC and go ECU + turbo + inj + fuel rail/pressure reg and hopefully some change left over for a tune. Just do it all at once so you don't need to keep retuning it.

GCGs TD06 for the rb25 is good, bolts on to low mount manifold, etc

The 25 aren't like the old Nissan fuel rails. The standard 25 reg and rail can do 300+kw fine.

Afc is a good base to realize you need a proper ecu. They will knock off sbout 2 seconds 0-100. But that's about it. It's all the power at low tp that you want in a street car.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
