Hi guys i need to buy a z32 afm for my r33 with power fc. im looking on ebay and there are a few different brands, i can get a new one for $129 or the bosch and jecs for about $330. Is there any difference and is it worth spending the extra?

There is a difference.

One is original. One is a flea-bay copy.

You want an original - Google to find out why the copies are so bad if you want to know more.

Yes, the chinese copies of the chinese afm can be problematic. You should buy your chinese made genuine Bosch afm from an Australian supplier so at least you have some sort of recourse. There are a few traders on this forum who sell them I am fairly sure

can sum1 have a look on ebay for me and post a link to a decent one, would be much appreciated.

Why ebay?

There are over 20 Trusted SAU Traders that could source the product, for a decent price. Probably even have them in stock ready to go. Best thing is they are all Australian and you KNOW it will be legitimate.

If R31 gives me the okay ill post up the seller in here.

He has a very good rep on ebay and I purchased one off him for $130.

Jez had no trouble tuning with it and it was NOT a copy.

I read the "how to spot a fake Z32" on the nistune website as well.

Why would you pay $300 off a trader when you can get one for $130?

I understand there are fakes out there but fark look at kando...

You guys need to understand ebay has reputable sellers

How is a 2nd hand AFM - the same as a brand new one?

Buying a 10yo+ AFM is no more purposeful than buying a ebay copy. Everyone knows the AFM's shit themselves, yes you can attempt repairs, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

So you spend $130 ($155 posted) on a repaired AFM, 6 months later it's dead. All of sudden you've spend $300 (to get another)... When you could've just spend $300 to begin with and it would be fine for the next 10 years.

The poor man pays twice.

You wouldn't use a 2nd hand fuel pump, AFM isn't much difference.

Ask anyone that's had to diagnose a intermittent fault with an AFM. It's a ripe pain in the ass. For $150 difference it's just not worth the arse ache.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
