i have been having problems with my z32afm for a while now. i remembered that i droped it from standing hieght before i got it installed. would this break it. it hits 5115v on the pfc hand controller putting out 250rwhp and on .8 bar. its been tuned twice with this afm on and niether shop have said anything. the car runs really rich and isnt making as much power as i would hope for with me supporting mods

which are

fmic

hks dump

nismo cat back

splitfire coils

fuel pump

pfc

avcr

stock turbo at a bar when being tuned

k&n pod

i thought for a bit i had a dodgy ebay afm. but i just checked the serial numbers which match ones that paulr33 has on one of his fact pages. i am willing to buy new one just want to check if its nessacary first. or should i ask a tuning shop as well. but that would mean dyno time which means $$

any opinions or help would be appreciated

thanks dan

If its running really rich, then its in the tune, not an AFM problem, although the rich tune can easily be reducing the power the car makes. I would have thought 250rwhp is about right for a stock turbo running .8 bar

yeh but would a bad tune explain why its maxing out??? thats what im asking coz isnt a z32 good for around 450hp or more and a stock turbo would be pulling in that much air to eplain the maxing out

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
