Contributor: on an SR power upgrade, a factory Z32 airflow meter is standard practice. I'm currently… [Separate continuation:] Its supported output is below the Z32's but above the SR20's—probably a little over 300 hp…
…setting up a factory RB20DET airflow meter.
…should be possible. The aim is lower cost: used RB20 meters are cheap.

I'm particular about window color!
Super Made
…I'd like to make the rear glass blue too!

I don't like applying window film…
…so on my Onevia I used blue 180SX windshield and door glass. Hearing that only the Silvia J's also had blue glass, I fitted its blue quarter windows too. It's a small detail but changes the impression considerably.
He apparently bought new quarter glass, but new rear glass is no longer obtainable. J's cars are rare at scrapyards too, so finding one…
