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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
