your getting mixxed up. the ecu simply reads the afm voltage and uses this to determine load and therefore the correct amount of fuel and timing. all nissan AFM's max out at 5.1v, but they dont flow the same amount of air at 5.1v. the standard rb25 afm's hit 5.1v at around 200-240rwkw, depending on the car, and run out of resolution, the car can still make more power but having the afm maxxed out makes tuning above that rough and dangerous. a z32 afm is simply calibrated differently and flows more air before maxxing out, which allows the ecu to accurately measure load up to a higher power level.
the afm does not max out at the same point as the ecu's load cells, in the power fc example i gave the standard afm would max out around p15 or p16, just over half the load of the last load point of the map. the ecu uses the afm to determine load then uses the map (load vs rpm) to determine fuel and timing, they're seperate things.
