I need an afm for my rb20det and i've heard that the z32 ones are a popular item. Just a few q's about them...

1. Are they a direct swap with the std item (loom plug is the same and plugs in??)

2. How much do they generally go for 2nd hand?

3. what beneifits do you get with using a z32 item?

4. I take it z32 is off a 300zx?

1. They are the same but you need to wire up a new plug wich is piss easy.

2. I got mine for $250 but they do go from $250-$350 from what i have seen.

3. Once you max out the RB20det AFM it's hard to tune it so bring on the Z32 that is all.

4. Yes of the twin turbo one.

Wiring for Z32 Maf into GTS-T

Z32 terminals are lettered A Thru to F, total of six terminals of which 5 are used on the Z32 and 4 on the GTS-t.

Working from A upwards as follows:

A: do not use

B: connect to Black wire on GTS-T MAF loom

C: connect to black/silver

D: connect to white

E: connect to black with white tracer

F: do not use.

Use a VL AFM plug if you don't get one with the Z32 coz it's the same.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
