hey my Z32 afm is maxing out at around 250rwhp. now i no this is a long way from what it shoulg be. i was told that a hole heap of Z32 afm where released faulty by some one and that i prolly have a faulty one.. if it is maxing out so early it does sound faulty in some way or is it just dirty... is this a possible reason my car is making fairly low power with its best a 247hp at 1bar with pfc ebc splitfires fuel pump full zorst fmic.

also how many tuning shops should it take to notice this as a problem.. ive been to 2 and no one said anything so far

What is the last number on the sticker on the MAF, is it J70, cos they are std ones?

Yeah also check the sticker to make sure its a Z32 AFM, that would get you off to an easy start.

Also Z32 is larger in diameter to standard, so a bit of alteration in the piping would have had to have occurred when installed?

im running power fc and yes it is defenalty a z32 afm, it was installed by at a tuning shop so if it want i presume that would have told me then. baught of ebay pressumably new it looked new any way.. i have had a few ppl look at it and say its a z32. i no its maxinng out coz on the hand controller it reads over 5000 all the time and regularly gets to 5115 which is the highest it reading ive seen. and been told that it maxes a 5v

Ok, ......

What Engine is it?

What mods have been done to the motor?

When they installed it, did they adjust the PFC to suit?

With the motor NOT running, what does the "Sensor" page on the PFC commander say it is reading?

What is the last number on the orange/red sticker read, it should start with a "J"?

You have to remember there is a WHOLE LOT of adjustments to be made to the PFC when you change from standard to the Z32. It isn't just a "Bolt-On instant power device".

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
