Hey i just want some info on this conversion as ive heard mixed arguments.

I have been told you can fit a Z32 AFM to a gtst to eliminate its boost cut. now i have been told this can also be done without tuning the ecu. just a matter of wiring it in.

the directions for wiring it in are this:

• 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.

Enjoy............

Can this be done with standard computer without tuning ecu?

Has anyone tried it?

Hmm, well when I put on my Z32 I tried to run it without changing the setting in my ecu - idled like shit. Probably becuase the afm delivers different voltage for the same airflow.

As the voltage is different, say at 3000rpm and 50% load, the ecu is only recieving a signal that used to be associated 2500rpm @ 30% load, there fore your car will run very lean.

As far as I know, boost cut works on boost pressure, not air flow?

well the really wierd thing is that with std turbo i was running 1.1bar. with the 2530 it cuts out at 1bar. either its just creeping over 1.1bar and thats cut out or its just sending alot more air. i dunno.

I just wanna run more booooost!!!!!

I was going to get a fuel cut defender today but after reading the latest zoom article i think i want to steer away from the SAFCII and fuel cut defender. there is a great article on "sensor benders" the main problem is that by lowering afm signals the ecu will automatically advance ignition timing - and running high boost with highly advanced timing is looking for detonation.

so with a tuned ecu i can get bothe a/f ratios and ignition maps tuned correctly.

i figure as im aiming for 300rwhp its probably a safer move....

Cheapest thing to do is if your ECU is running the engine ok (std ECU right) with the exception of the boost cut, then plug my old ECU in and see.

If we swap std computer then im happy, i just want something that will run my car if i ever return it to stock, dont car if all the factory cuts are on it.

And i dont think the boost cut is related to the AFM being maxed out. There is a preset signal that when reached, will trigger the boost cut, but may be well before the AFM maxes out, i dont know... go to work with a willing passenger and a multi-meter.

I haven't read that article but it sounds like a crock. The S-AFC will see a lower air flow and send less fuel through. How does it know to advance the timing? It thinks the car has less air going into it, and that's all. On my PowerFC, the ignition advances as revs (and therefore airflow) increase. If anything I would say it's not advancing the ignition enough!

Whatever the case, the tuner should be able to tune the S-AFC without any detonation. I haven't heard of a single person that had detonation issues after getting their S-AFC properly tuned. I think the guy that wrote the Zoom article doesn't know what he's on about. Did he mention any alternatives maybe? Like some Aussie built ECU replacements? Sponsorship potentially at work here.

You have an R32, forget the S-AFC anyway and just get your ECU remapped. Should cost around $600 or less.

If you have an R32, just get it remapped - cheaper than an SAFC.

I know a guy who ran a fuel cut defender on an RB20 cefiro, ran 1.3bar, and in that trim it was driven hard for 2 years without a problem, so I have trouble believing what is being said about fuel cut defenders.

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
