looking at upgrades at the moment and an afm is on my list of things to upgrade, lookes at both items(z32/q45) and i have a few questions. after my upgrades i am aiming for approx 320rwhp.

i have heard that the q45 is a beter afm because it provides clearer reading of something like that??? which is the beter afm in tems of tuneablitiy?

is a z32 big enough to handle this power? or is a q45 required?

your comments and advice are appreciated.... :D

cheers!

THe Q45 AFM is 90 mm and the ZA32 is 80 mm (same as the RB20/25 AFM). SO the Z32 will fit up without mods to the plumbing, the Q45 won't. The Q45 will have very low airspeed at idle on a 240 rwkw engine, may make idle control difficult. The Z32 will handle 240 rwkw easily, so why make life difficult for yourself?:cheer:

Z32 is good for 300rwkw.

mine is fine @ 270rwkw so far.

Get a new one for the few extra $$$, Z32's are getting a bit tired. Save problems later on

thanx for the reply's guys, z32 it is :rofl:

where is the best place to source a brand new item?

cheers!

I got my Z32 from a bloke that has an account with Bosch.

 

$280 bran spankin new, +$10 for postage.

The Bosch ones are different i think arent they?

i'll check who made my Z32...

I do know the bosch ones are a lot cheaper though

to add to this...

ive just purchased a trust cooler with adaptor plate welded to the inlet end tank with the z32 bolted straight to the inlet... ive been told it provides a more accurate reading on the preasurised side of the turbo (japs tend to do it often)

see how this works out...

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
