as the tittle states i was just wondering what AFM are prefered and recommended. i am looking for somthing that is straight swap or least difficult to adapt with standard GTR AFM and i am tossing up between the Z32 and the Q45. so far i have found that they are booth pretty much on par.

any suggestions? thanks

cam, it was more.. which will just swap over with stock gtr afm's... my guess is as nismoid said.. dunno wat the plugs on standard gtr afm's are like but yer... z32's tend to be a common upgrade on gtr's from wat i have heard

Warrick,

What was more? what will swap with what? :confused:

The plug on a Z32 is 5 pin ;)

Hi GTR94, if you had done a search you would have found out that GTR AFM's are 65 mm. A search would have told you that Z32 AFM's are 80 mm (same as RB20/25) and Q45's are 90 mm. By doing a search you would have noted that NONE of them are a straight swap over. They won't fit the airfilter box or POD's for a start, as quick search would have shown. The ECU will also need retuning, as per the search results.

;)

PS; did I mention that you should do a search?

it all depends on your rwhp level you want to run

my first

first choice

good up to 540rwhp and around $150ea second hand

rb20/25 are straight fit (same plug ) but will requires sum piping mods and tuning adjustment

second choice

good to around ~700rwhp and around $300 second hand + $30 plug

Z32 require a different plug solider in and the same piping as rb20/25 and a larger tuning adjustment

Q45 i have only seen on one car that was a 1100rwhp drag car(apexi's car)

all are relative easy to fit when running APEXI PFC as you can select afm at the touch of a button

cheers

pete

There are 2 issues with AFM's, one is the restriction caused by the small diameter. The second problem is the one you hear about most often and that is the calibration of the hot wire sensor for higher airflows.

The Nismo GTR replacement AFM's I have seen are the standard GTR diameter (65 mm) with what look like Z32 sensors inserted into them (replacing the standard sensor). This fixes the calibration problem, but does nothing for the diameter based restriction.

:P

there are a large number of cars running upwards of 330rwkw here in Vic now with the Nismo items.

They have no problem and results arent too dis-similar to others with say Z32's.

every car is different though.

Lee - will find out Wed

    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.

    • Yep, cheapest options, neglected and abused. The fastest way to dislike a car is to get assigned that model by a budget rental company  
    • The noise complaint could be from absolutely anywhere, and anyone. Get it actually noise level tested to find out if you're actually over, or if you're fine. If you're over, quieten it down. If you're under, carry the test results in the car with you.
