It is possible to tune an AFM based on grams/s vs voltage (MASS transfer function).  I do it all the time when dickheads pull the mesh off the GENIII MAF sensor - thats got to be worth at least 25rwkw's!!!!!!!!

Rob, when you say you tune an AFM on grams/s vs voltage what do you mean? I understand how hotwire/Karman Vortex/MAP sensors work, but how are you doing this?

Cheers

Matt

P.S. You should know that the mesh holds up the airflow!! :D:)

lol guys i know, but when u dont know much about a GT30R, and the sellers tell you that they bolt straight on u have to believe them.. but hey i worked it out and now im about 3 or 4 days away from having my car tuned and ready to go. i put the injectors in tomorrow then off it goes to the exhaust place for some mdoifactions to the dump....

ok guys heres the latest: ive almost finished my upgrades, initially it was supposed to be done over a six month period but its been a month now and my car is booked for a tune on thursday!!! yay i cant wait

the only thing left to do is the cams but im not to keen on them anytime soon...ill be entering the sau drag day in novemeber hopefully aiming at a low 12, well im trying to reach a 12 flat but i guess we will see!!!

...ill be entering the sau drag day in novemeber hopefully aiming at a low 12, well im trying to reach a 12 flat but i guess we will see!!!

Have you entered the drag day yet? I believe there's only one spot left if you haven't...

I'm curious to see how your car runs. I'm also going down the GT30 route and should have it complete for the drag day, so it'll be interesting to compare how our car's perform :P

yeh i havent entered yet but since u tell me that theres only one spot left i guess i have to make up my mind soon, u see i dont have a license, so i have to find a driver.... have u started the work on ur car?

i should have mine back soon ill let u know how it turns out as in if its laggy and etc....

I haven't started work on my car yet as I'm still trying to decide on where to get the work done...just need to speak to a few more people first before I make a decision (should know by the end of the week). I've basically already got everything to support the power I'm chasing either on the car or in my garage ready to go (other than turbo, manifold, wastegate...and possibly cams?), so it should hopefully be a fairly straight forward process once I get the ball rolling so to speak.

Can I ask what size turbine housing did you go for? I'm guessing 0.82...

I'll be using the same and I'm expect to start seeing boost around 3500rpm.

Also, which GT30 have you used?

i.e Is it one of the HPinabox 500hp turbos or one of the GT3040R 600hp turbos from GCG for example.

Either way, i'd definately be interested to hear about your results, so let us know how you go once you've got it all completed and tuned.

Good luck with it.

BTW, I think you may have missed the boat with the drag day...I think it's full up now (unless you got the last spot).

If you're keen, I'd be getting your name on the reserve list asap, as there's always 1 or 2 people that may pull out before the day.

yeh i know i just pm'd for a spot but i dunno, i can still enter at wsid, but i wanted to go to the sau drag meet, just to compare my car with other lines.

and yeh i did go for the 0.82 rear, and i got my turbo from japan, its directly from garrett, its a garrett GT30R turbo... my mate who did the work for me works for MRT, and if u like i can get u a quote from him for labor if u have all the parts like wat i did? all it cost me was labor and any extra parts....

Mate,

I am in the same boat. I installed my GT30 about 2 weeks ago and since then I have been cruzing around at 1/4 trottle as it's not been tuned yet... Its so hard not to give her a skirt <_<

I have put the foot down once or twise but the knock goes through the roof so I must show self restraint...

2 weeks to go for me, I reakon it would be easier if I just dopped the car off at the tuners now and ride to work for the 2 weeks :D

yeh i know, i cant wait man, its so close but it feels like i have to wait ages... few more days now...

yeh, i had that feeling about 2 weeks ago also, but the diff for me was my car had a shit load of stuff changed at the same time, so i could never drive it, once i get it tuned ill be ripping up the streets a few times, my neighbors are going to hate me...LOL

Hi Guys, keep all of us informed. It will be good to see the results. I dropped my 1995 GTS-T M-Spec (series 2 engine) at Racepace here in Vic last Saturday. I too got a new Garrett GT30 (550hp) with a HKS ext. gate, &a new HKS cast manifold, Apexi PowerFC, Nismo 550cc injectors, Z32 AFM, Splitfire coilpack & a Apexi AVC-R.

I previously had my engine (rebuilt with Mahl forged pistons, GTR rods & all the other gear etc...) dynoed at 212.9 rwkw@14psi using the std turbo, AFM, injectors, coils etc... using a Apexi SAFC 2, Apexi GT spec FMIC, K&N induction (big oval pod etc..) & a external Bosch 044 pump with surge tank.

Have you guys thought about a oil cooler with relocation kit? I am installing mine when I get the car back, as it will save some money this way & your engine.

I dont think that I need a oil cooler as my car has never seen the track and wont for awhile. On the street it only gets hammered here and there. However the re-location of the oil filter would be handy but not handy enough to justify the dollars.

yeh i agree, my car wont be seeing the track either, im going to focus on making it less laggy, maybe chuck in a new intake plenum and work on the cams, and i guess that would it.. when i get bored of this i will prob sell it and get a GTR, thats my ultimate goal, an R33 GTR!

but for now i think being 20 and having a series II with the mods that it has, and being stuck at uni, and not owing any money for it i guess i should be happy.

Hey guys one question.

You're using a 550hp (approx) turbo and only aiming for about 250rwkw? Won't this be running the turbo quite a bit below its' efficiency range?

If you wanted 250rwkw, wouldn't a GT-RS have been a better option due to the fact that it will be far more responsive?

A 550hp turbo should be good for towards 300rwkw.

yeh that is true, but a GT-RS will set u back a lot more then a GT30R, also i am aiming at around 300rwkw, but money is a factor at the moment, as i dont have the $$$ to spend on the engine as yet, also the drive train mods required to achieve a reliable 300rwkw....

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
