Z32 afm not larger in diameter than the R33T stock unit.

I was under the impression that the afm itself was bigger in overall diameter.At least the stock holes still line up leaving me able to use the current filter.

The only difference asthetically being the solenoid,the post that holds it and the plug.

Maybe i confused it with an rb20 item?Hmmm.At least this afm gives a more accurate readout.

Is it ok if i remove the mesh at the rear of the afm?

People fit Z32 AFM's to gain a larger tuning resolution from them - NOT because they are physically larger. If you do not have aftermarket engine management, get some or you've wasted your money.

Yes it is okay to remove the mesh from the back of the AFM if you feel the urge. Make sure you get it all out though.

Just a pet peeve, the Z32 has a larger RANGE the resolution is actually worse!!!!

Curse you HPI and your misuse of terms!!!!

I need coffee...

I don't quite understand what you have written there.

Range and resolution are two completely different things.

According to Sydneykid's magic table the RB25 is good for about 226rwkW whereas the Z32 can do about 255rwkW (has a 13% larger range).

I suspect that simply putting the Z32 AFM would give false lower load readings which would make the car run lean, I would get your car on a dyno and check it out.

if you dont have an aftermarket ECU...

as 2rismo said - you've wasted your money as it wont work without one.

if you do indeed actually have an aftermarket ECU, you also need the Connector Plug for the Z32 AFM also, not just the AFM itself.

do a search in the Forced Induction secion. This has been covered 100's of times in detail

Yes that's what I meant. At least I think so.

The reasoning is sound if the logic is not.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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  
    • 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.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
