Thats weird about the AFM, I was under the impression they flowed well and only really need changing when going for big power as the tuning resolution is a better with a Z32 item. Mine's only running about 180@wheels anyway, and I need to get the sus/chassis sorted before I need anymore :(

Mine was maxed a little over 180rwkw as well as another mates.

Perfectly normal. You can tune them up to around 220rwkw odd but its a fairly rough tune. Essentially when the afm max's out you push in enough fuel at that load point to handle the boost being run. So what occurs is say its tuned for 15psi but the afm max's out at 12psi when it hits 12psi it runs the ignition timing and enough fuel for 15psi so not optimal.

But really you never try (thats if you were good enough to be able to do it) to hold 12psi at part throttle with the afm only just maxing out so usually it goes unnoticed. :(

The Z32 allows for a fair bit more scope. Mine went from maxing the std afm out to ~4.2-4.3v on the Z32. Then ~268rwkw was ~4.7volts and now 302rwkw is high 4.9volts on occasions flat 5volts on those cold nights. So nearing its limits again. :S

    • How do people sell and buy modified cars in Victoria? Because internet says you have to get a RWC every time the car is sold. In NSW the blue slip / full check is only required for cars that had their registration lapsed or are bought from interstate. The yearly pink slip / rego check just looks at tyres, lights, leaks and things like that. They tend to not care about modifications. So can buy a car that is modified as long as it was registered before modifications. And then keep driving it. With the lingering threat of getting defected and fu<ked at any time.
    • I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago.  Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.

    • It's not "interpreted as" it literally is no more than 1 mod to the intake system. The turbo is considered something that affects emissions. So this has 0.0% chance of passing it's current state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this would absolutely need thousands to get on the road. Perhaps the seller still has the stock bits, but god knows what state the OEM wiring is to run the ECU, whether an OEM cluster is still available, etc. Generally speaking, RWC testers in Victoria are more conservative than the rules actually are to boot, so even if the car will pass, they won't even want to look at it, nor consult the actual roadworthiness requirements. They will simply throw it in the too hard basket with a flavor of arrogance and move onto the next job, even if the mods you have meet the requirements of VSI14.
