So Its $1000.00 For An R32 Afm......

[R32_R34]

Hi all

I rang Nissan today, due to the fact that I have a faulty AFM on my R32, He said he'd get back to me.....

3hrs later he quoted me 1000.00 because they wont just sell the AFM to me.

Any thoughts?

[gt-ahhh!]

you could get 2 z32s for a lot less than that...

Your getting your pants pulled down over the price..

Search the for sale sections. You can find them second at a FAAAR cheaper price.

Call up some Jap wreakers or Places that import half cuts. Or upgrade to Z32?

1 grand is rediculous

2nd hand rb20 or rb20 afm $100 MAX = 10 for $100

2nd hand Z32 $250 = 4 for $1000 LOL

contact SSS automotive in syd or justjap in syd

they usually have these spares

[R32_R34]

yo guy's if i got a z32 I would need a SAFC to tune it no?

[hojak]

So $1000 for them to repair your afms? That sucks. I repaired mine a couple times and got jack of it breaking down so I bought a pair of genuine afms through nissan for $1100. Expensive, i know, but i didn't want to upgrade to z32 or buy second hand. Don't understand what they mean they wont sell them to you?

I guess they are 16 - 20 yo, so they don't really want to get rid of them?

were yours for r32's?

[hojak]

They were to suit R32, yeah. My car hasn't skipped a beat since. so well worth it i reckon.

Last time I checked a brand new Z32 through Nissan was just a tad over $330 so that's weird you were quoted $1000 for a RB20 one. Maybe ring a different Nissan to double check.

[HEKT1K]

my cousin was also quoted a similar amount for an rb20 AFM about 1 year ago. very strange.

and no Greg you dont need a SAFC or anything like that to 'tune' an afm :|

you cant run a car with a standard ecu with z32 afm

Not sure if SAFC can be made to make it work, but your standard ecu will hate the z32

Nah man Nissan will rip you off big time, just get a (300ZX) Z32 AFM from any aftermarket place afew hundred dollars as some has said on here.

I don't think you will need a tune, but you can run it on a dyno just to make sure.

[R32_R34]

Ahh k Cool guys,

Least its not only me, that fixes my theories of being cursed

What about airflow meter elimination with an emanage ultimate (airflow map), anybody had a shot at that?

Thanks for all the info BTW

Do you mean running the car with no AFM?

If so I have seen a R33 GTR with a APexi Dejectro and there is no AFM's and also SAU member DSTROY has one and you can ask him about it.

[R32_R34]

Yeah without the AFM, using an input map instead, since i managed to get and emanage ultimate.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

I asked about it one time and from memory it came to the conclusion that it does the same thing as having AFM's.

Or rather there was not much of an advantage, as the APexi Dejectro was monitoring the Air Flows, insted of having AFM's.

But if your having trouble finding an AFM you could use the eManage Ultimate...

[R32_R34]

Yeah i did some research on it and found that i could drop the AFM, so i was sold on the Idea hahaha.

But i did want to know if it was reliable as a daily driver still after using the map, I.e. cold starts etc.

That and in the future i was thinking of a FMIC hence the i could get it tuned.

If you wanted to retain your AFM a better way to go about it would be to get a change over item through Injectronics, http://www.injectronics.com.au/.

They send you a new AFM and if it fixes the problem you send your old one back to them.

If it doesn't fix the problem you send the new AFM back.

New units come with a 24 month warrenty and cost about $300.
