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.

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
