Hi all. So after getting an apexi pfc, and having a chat with a local tuner who I'm going to use, I'm on the hunt for a z32 airflow meter. But I'm wanting to know if they are all the sme? between the non turb, and turb ones, and I have seen yellow sticker ones, and orange sticker ones. Is there anything I need to be weary of? How about the new ones you can buy? i imagine some of them are cheap knockoffs? Or is there little diffrence between genuine and chinese here? Thanks.

You want the Orange sticker one - And you want a genuine one, a fake chinese or whatever one will be worse than standard and you risk damaging stuff. The fakes have very poor workmanship usually - a quick Google search will help there.

Buy from a trusted distributer - Note eBay if you want to be sure.

Also 2nd hand is buyer beware - it may work fine but it may also be crud.

So definately staying away from the cheap n nasty then. The only problem is I'll probly be buying online, so won't be able to inspect the item b4 hand. Are there any trusted suppliers over there i could contact to buy a new one? There is a supplyer here, but they're asking 500 for a quality new one. And I'm thinking i should be able to find a sharper price. Times not really an issue. Got lots of other parts to sort out along the way. And can anyone clarify, what are the yellow sticker ones? Also, are the vh45, and vh41 airflow meters viable options with the PFC?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
