My 32 gtr has a Nistune running 310rwkw. It has e85 1000cc injectors hks gtss turbos dumps exhaust.. from what I have read I have now maxed out my afm. I was thinking of buying the nismo afm and getting a haltech ecu. Is this a good option or do I just need to upgrade my afm?

Tuner can tell you.

Once you know, get rid of AFM and go MAP.( adaptronic or haltech plug in )

That said, you can still go beyond the limits of AFM's

EDIT

I remember Matt saying from there testing the limit is around 370kw for a single z32
Could try a HPX maf, but i would just replace the ecu if you are looking for over 400kw

Either you upgrade the AFMs to Nismo and you retune and get a better result, probably to the point where you max out the injectors/turbos and other components become limited.

Or you get rid of the Nistune ECU and buy another ECU and go with a MAP based sensor and forget about AFMs all together and tune the new ECU to the point where injectors/turbos and what not will be limited.

Measures the absolute pressure, which in turn allows you to mitigate the negatives of a AFM.

Eg, reverbaration, dirty afm affecting the signal, removes pretty much any limit on max airflow.

Atmos based blow off valve will not stall an engine
Comming off throttle will be alot "Smoother"

A pressure line will run to a sensor ( think of it like a boost sensor ).

This sensor will either be external, or internal to the ECU.
Most plug in ECU's use internal map sensors, and would be what you want.

You then remove the need for a AFM, and take them completely out of your engine bay.

And run a single boost line to the map sensor

Thanks it seems like this is a common question as to which is better? Afm or a plug in ecu which eliminates the afm? The general consensus leads to deleting the afm and spending the money on an ecu? A pair of nismo afm is going to cost 800ish I'm thinking this could be money better spent on an aftermarket ecu

You can't tell that your AFM and Nistune is "maxed out" by reading. Your tuner will tell you when that happens. How many turbos and how many afms do you have? I doubt anything is "maxed out" at 310awkw..if your tuner can't tune it because of the afms get a couple of RB25 afms.

Yes a Link would be great if money is burning a hole in your pocket but the ecu, map sensor, temp sensor, installation and tune won't leave much change out of $3k

won't a haltech platinum pro plug and play eliminate the need for any of those?

Just bought a hpx airflow meter from Nistune. All going well it will be getting tuned on Friday. Nistune say its goo upto 800hp.

What did they cost for the pair if you don't mind me asking?

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
