Yes you can but you will need to have it followed up with a quick check up on the dyno...

It should not change much but it will though the current tune out a little bit and its always best to visit the dyno after you touch anything as important as a AFM.

I bought a z32 with the tomei adapter plug and it looks a bit different.

I have 4 wires

Black with white trace

black

White

Brown

I have a series II R33, would be good to have colours to match from and to.

The car is in the workshop so i cant look at the stock one atm.

But i was going to be charged $300 to fit the AFM and new injectors which I think is a bit steep.

Plus more $ for the tune

If you put the plug into the afm and look at it the same as the picture below, you will have the same outputs from the Z32 just the wire colours will be different...

So if the black with white trace is in position (2) then sustitue it for orange with black trace for this installation...

Does this make sence??? If not put the plug into the AFM and take a close up photo and post it here...

Yep thanks... I just noticed the little letters on the plug and the little letters, ABCD etc in your pic.

My plug is different to the one in your tute, but the wires wil be in the same order, I think i got the Tomei plug, its "squarer" with different wires.

R34 GTT uses the 3 wire AFM same as Series 2 R33 and the guide is the same...

(Please correct me if im wrong, but thats what ive seen on the R34's ive worked on)

and yeah you need to buy the plug with the AMF as the stock plugs are as usless as a cardboard wetsuit...

Umm I assume the R34 is similar to the S2 R33? As my AFM is kaput, its practically undrivable atm I need to replace the AFM

If I attach a new z32 and do the soldering will the car be drivable at least?, or that the remap would be a critical factor to make it work.

Ive got a PFC btw.

Acoustik,

if you need an AFM for a R34 RD25DET, try looking for the Maxima VQ30DE AFM. It's the same. I found this out the hard way! :D

edit: just found the tute by cubes (maybe add it to the members list of tute threads?)

im searching for a install of a z32 into a r32.

is it right that r32 wiring will be the same as the r33s1 wiring in this tute, cause i believe r33s1 afm is the same as a r32???

:)

Hi Paul, how confident are you in the plug wiring for the RB20DET AFM on your web site?

RB20 AFM Nissan Skyline R32

Wire A - Not Connected

Wire B - Signal

Wire C - 12v Ground

Wire D - Signal Ground

Wire E - 12v Power

Mine, a 1990 R32GTST, seems to be;

Wire A - Not Connected

Wire B - Signal Ground = black

Wire C - 12v Ground = black

Wire D - Signal = white

Wire E - 12v Power = black with white stripe

Cheers

Gary

I have this issue, my R34 has 3 wires, but apparantly the adapter plugs for the Z32 (which i was told by the person i bought it from on the SAU forums that it was suited for the R34 RE25DET Neo engine, which is what i have), but his AFM didn't come with a plug because his tuner lost it, so i went to an auto elec and they said the plug for my Z32 AFM is 6 pin with 4 wires.

Have i got the wrong AFM?

Is there a different plug?

Is there a work around?

Cheers,

Matt

In reply to the above, i had an auto elec fit mine, he just earthed the 4th wire :D

I have a PFC, even with the self learn process it still does not allow the car to run properly, when you install one of these, make sure you just splice off the existing wire and leave the existing plug intact incase you need to go back to stock.

I gaurantee you will need to get the car tuned afterwards, it simply doesn't run properly unless it gets the tune :blink:

Thanks mate, might get the tuner to fit and map my pfc at the same time.

Cheers

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
