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

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
