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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
