Saw a pair of these Nismo AFM for GTR in the for sale forum.... (anyway is sold now!)... these Nismo AFM have the same size as those standard GTR AFM but claim to flow just as much air as Z32 AFM....... but i thought Z32 AFM flow better due to its larger size!!!

Am i right??? what am i missing here?

please let me know!

thanks guys

Quick link to the for sale item i saw: HERE

As far as i know nismo afms are just z32 sensors inside an original rb26 afm housing from what ive read, hence why they are a straight bolt/plugg in replacement, they are able to read more airflow due to the higher resolution, not because of the size of the afm.

Unfortunately the nismo and z32 do not have exactly the same internals, their mapping is slightly different (up to 5%) and this can make them more difficult to tune for big hp than z32. Nismo have included the graph of the differences in the box with their afms.

The problem with the standard afms is not that they have a restriction, but that the amount of air going past them is more than they can measure in 5v. the Z32 and nismo ones give a lower voltage for the same amount of air so their maximum airflow is higher.

Basically the nismo ones are great when then standard ones run out (about 280rwkw) up until mid 300kw because you don't have to change any intake pipes. Over that you need the larger z32 ones anyway.

    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
