Hi guys ive a new z32 to fit to my 97 rs4 but cant seem to find the wiring info to change it over from the 3 wire stock plug to the 4 wire z32 plug. Can anyone who has done this help me out with the info please.

I find the search function on SAU difficult but got this:

"the z32 will not run on the stock ecu so dont bother

but when it comes time to wire it up you join the ground wires

ie on the Z32 there are two ground wires one is for signal ground and the other is just ground

on the R33 S2 loom you have one ground wire, so you just join them all together

but dont try it with the stock ecu - it no worky and will run like a whore"

I don't remember if you have an aftermarket ecu yet but maybe an SAFC will suffice. I will be getting a Z32 afm soon and hopefully my chipped ecu will run it OK. Did you get a brand new one (and if you don't mind) from where and how much?

Im running a greddy emange ultimate so im sure once its fully mapped the standard airflow will need replaced with the z32 one. The one i have i purchased from nissan japan i cant remember how much it was but it wasnt cheap oem parts from japan usally aint!

Sorry but Im still unsure as to how to wire it up. My stageas loom that goes to the airflow has 3 wires 1 signal? 1 signal ground? and then 1 ground? yes?

My z32 has 4 1 signal? 2 signal ground and 1 ground yes?

Do i take the 2 signal grounds and just connect both to the stagea signal ground?

Try this

Use the series R33 install

Iused this on my series stagea and worked fine

    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".

    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.
