Hey guys, i am currently finishing up on a R33 RB25DE conversion on my R32 GTS-T. The only part missing now is the AFM, i've heard that people with moderate modifications use the Z32 AFM, so what does a normal, stock R33 RB25DE use? Can i get this from a wrecker or do i have to buy it new? Thanks. My uncle who is helping me with the conversion says that the R32 RB20DET airbox and AFM is different to the R33 one.

you won't get the z32 ecu to work properly without a piggyback computer of some sort (or full ecu) to change the settings. the z32 is the same size as the rb20 and rb25 afms and works between the same voltages but reads different voltages at different airflow rates to the stock afm.

you can use the rb20 afm on a series 1 rb25, but to use it on a series 2 you need to play around with the wiring (not very hard, think it is only 1 wire different)

you didn't really read what i said did you? there are 2 different types of r33 afm. if the rb25 came out of a series 1 r33 then you can use the rb20 one as it is the same. if the r33 was a series 2 then you will need to make sure you get a series 2 afm, or you can change the wiring to get the s1/rb20 one to fit.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
