Hey guys

My car has been playing up for a couple of days now, took it for a service to Adam's Auto Centre at Woodcroft. Service and inspection $423, oil,filters,plugs and tune. Scantool says its the afm :P

Just wondering if there is still a group buy for this? I know Cubes you were doing 1?

Anyone got a spare 1 lying around so I could buy/borrow it for the cruise? Cant get a hold of 1 until next week?? :P

YO - I got one

a standard Rb25 unit, I put in a Z32 item recently

Im in Morphett Vale.......

email me if ya need.

Does the rb25 slot straight into rb20 type?

if so, how much you want for it? i'm in woodcroft!

Thats something Im not sure about, at all... sorry.

To be honest, Id rather not 'sell' the unit in case I ever get defected for my Z32 unit. Im hoarding my spare parts for "just in case". But more than welcome to 'borrow' it mate, to help you out for a few weeks, no problems there.

If the RB25 unit fits, then so would a Z32 afm? That being said, the Z32 is obviously the best choice for further tuning mods, I was near maxing out my RB25afm at only 140Awkw (was 4.95V, max is 5.15V?).

The Z32 afm lets you tune the beast just that little bit more lol! Now Im safely at 160Awkw with plenty of scope for more tuning when I (can afford to!) add on the hiflow turb'.

Maybe send an email about RB20's running a Rb25/Z32 afm, to Sydneykid, Cubes, Paul33, or R31Nismoid, or someone who knows their stuff?

Checked out the RB20 turbo sticky thread (ie dynographs etc) in the forced induction area - to get good power they're all using Z32 AFMs, or a VQ45 afm.

So if you want to borrow my RB25 unit, no worries, but better off purchasing a Z32 unit in the future....... plus a massive twin turbo setup, etc etc lol!

hey how much do you want for the Z32's and clips im very keen

I've been told that I probably can sell them for $300 each as these comes with harness and flanges for easy bolt on.

For you I can do $250 each pickup.

Let me know, they just came off the car yesterday. Car had 380rwkw and idled well with these on so there is defitely no problem at all ....or money back.

They are at Willall racing atm. I'll be there after 1pm today. So let me know before they collect dust.

hey adam, my r32gtr was playing up since last sat[11 feb] and i took it in to steve at manta racing on thursday[16feb] he and peter worked on it {retune} cleaned the sensor in the afm which unfortunately didnt work {might for you} and found that he could only get one from sydney. It got here friday and after another quick tune had me on the road again by firday afternoon. great guy{steve} and doesnt cost the earth in labour. look him up in the pages. what better than having a guy{steve} that tunes bently turbos etc and peter hall {had a lambo and gt3 porshe waiting for service} working on your car for a good price! lots of other workshops charge the earth when they hear GTR!!

Yeah thanks bwilkeson for the lend of your afm! Greatly appreciated, mine didn't start playing up until I was 2 streets away from home after the cruise. I think I will try to hook yours up until I can get (afford) one. I cleaned mine about 3 days ago and no problems until today, I guess its a short term solution. ;)

I paid $250 for my Z32 afm, so thats definately the going rate.... well worth the dollars, unless youve got ~$450 to spend on a new item.

$450 each was what my car previous owner paid for his z32 as well. He paid extra for the adaptors/flanges. I could not throw in the harness because Peter Hall left that on my car.

The first $450 offer will have both my Z32 and 2 adaptors.

My pleasure.

Well done on the organisation of the cruise, you did an awesome job (with help from other SAU forum users).

Tangles. There is no obvious way you'd be defected for a Z32 AFM. Most coppers wouldn't know what an AFM is. ;)

The colours are different.... Z32 is 'pink' and Rb25 is 'green', if theyve defected ppl before, then they'll know what they are looking for. But it aint just the afm, its all the ecu add-ons etc Ive got that are pretty easy to spot, so if I ever need to go to Regency I might as well hoard my spares. Not all oinkers are dumbarses. :/

My Z32 has a Orange Sticker!

I think thats right - I was guessing.. pink/orange, just a matter of interpretation really (plus I'll just say I was clourblinded the last time I looked at it - must have been the wife mucking around again)

R33 S1 afm's (green sticker 4pin) are the same as the r32 rb20det afm.

R33 S1 afm's (pink sticker 3pin) obviously don't plug in. :)

Z32's as stated are orange, I'm waiting for bosch, they said they will have the numbers I require by may due to an problems they had with manufacturing that threw backorders through the roof.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
