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?

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
