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 agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
