Perhaps a search would have been easier?

Yes, the Nissan replacement ones are shite, grab an aftermarket one as I don't sell them anymore.

Thanks man, just thinking is it ok to get aftermarket one which could directly replace the OEM one? It looks same as OEM one but is it more stronger??

Even if it is the same life they are about 1/4 the price and work fine.

That's true mate. But I want to know if they are stronger than OEM one. I found some AFM on eBay approx $60, but no idea about the quality. Actually I could get cheap 2nd hand OEM one from Japan. So if they is no difference between eBay aftermarket AFM and OEM AFM, I would like to grab OEM one. Any suggestion??

Why buy a second hand one? Search the forum and you will see they are terribly unreliable. As scotty said just buy the new after market ones. No they probably aren't any better, but they are newer and will have more chance of lasting then a crappy second hand one

just got brand new aftermarket 5PIN AFM from ebay. then I did throttle relearn. now the idle rev is 650-700rpm, AFM voltage is about 1.35v-1.37v at idle.

some question here:

1. I feel the car is harder to start engine compare with OEM AFM, whatever the car is cold or warm

2. there is long delay when rev up from idle. it means when you press acc pedal from idle, the OEM boost gauge will go up to about 0PSI first, then rev will go up. also this feeling is compared with OEM AFM.

any suggestion? thanks guys.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
