After i installed a Z32 into my S2 Stagea i decided to make up this little diagram for anyone else looking at the upgrade. This may also be the same as the S1 as i'm sure the AFM's are basically the same pink label MAF. The S2 wiring was almost identical to the S2 R33 wiring with the exception of cable colour. Also keep in mind you cant install a Z32 and run the engine without a tune.

how much has all this cost you.

what will u gain? power and fuel maybe?? running an safc to tune it?

You can get a brand new Z32 for around $300. Then either shell out for a Tomei Z32 plug like I did, or use a VL AFM plug, I read they are the same.

There is no real gain to be had unless your chasing anything above 220kw. And then it's more of a must to chase the bigger power figure. The Z32 has more resolution than the stock AFM.

I'm using Nistune to tune for the Z32, but you can use a Safc.

No gain unless he's got a bigger turbo and his stock afm is on max voltage.

Stock afm's can only read up to a certain amount of airflow while the z32's can read more. Its just a supportive mod for bigger power really

Hey thanks Josh, looking to do this on my S2 soon and you just took all the hard work out!

Dave, installing a Z32 pretty much renders you car undriveable until you get a tune. Your running Nistune as well aren't you? its relatively easy to setup but from my experience from just doing this, its not as easy as changing the VQ map to suit the Z32. For me the fuel mixtures where off and needed to be adjusted.

Thanks for the info - yes I'm running a Nistune as well; I just picked up a Z32 and so came back to this thread :) I was told it's a Tomei plug but the colours are different to yours. I will be getting a full tune when I install.

strange, although it is highly possible that tomei have just used different colour cables. just match up the pin id letters and you'll be fine. if your doing the install yourself make sure you can still get you car to the tuners as you wont be able to safely start and drive your car. what you could do is wire in the Z32 plug in parallel with the stock one, that way you can drive to the tuners on the stock AFM, then all the tuner has to do is swap the AFM and tune away.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
