Z32 Afm's - Will I Need A Tune?

Hey guys, not too sure if i've got this in the right place, but we'll see how it goes.

I own a R32 GTR, and am about to replace the stock Air Flow Meters (which are playing up) with a set of Bosch Z32 AFM's. Question is, once the new AFM's are in will the car have to be tuned, or can I simply reset the ECU and have it "learn" again?

I'm not the most mechanically savvy guy in the world, so I apologise if this is a stupid question. I've had conflicting opinions so far with my mechanic saying "I wouldn't be in a rush to get it tuned" and a friend (who's fairly knowledgeable with the GTR) saying "... it will run too lean and go boom".

So, any help on the subject would be fantastic :)

Thanks guys.

Its definitely not recommended but is fine to limp to the tuners with. LIMP being the keyword.

DO not put that foot down. :D

On the dyno they tend to run a little richer at cruise/light throttle but not so rich the o2 sensor can't trim.

Once on the throttle; its too difficult to tell; just not worth the risk as the airflow curves are fine for light throttle but at full throttle a given airflow value uses a lesser load point to allow for the greater airflow resolution of the larger afm; so yes chances are it will lean out IF you give it some decent throttle. Not only that but it will be running more ignition timing.

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
