My r32 afm wont work, so i ordered a z32. Now, ive been told that the z32 wont work on my car. Do i need a aftermarket ecu for it to work?

You wont be able to run the Z32 on stock ECU unless you get it remapped mate :yes:

nope... wont work. get an apexi SAFC 1 or 2, easiest way to run z32 afm.

can you explain to me what it exactly does? air flow converter? how much does it cost, how easily available is it?

so, your basically telling me i need to change the computer in my car to the z32 to work? how effective are the piggyback ecu's?

Get your ECU remapped. Will do a much better job than an SAFC

can you get a stock r32 ecu remapped? shouldnt i just buy a aftermarket ecu?

sorry if im asking stupid/obvious questions, but i have moved from N/A to Turbocharged, and boy, there is so much stuff to learn that its overwhelming.

safc might not be the greatest way... but i did that because i couldnt afford to have my ecu missing for a week. i bought a safc on ebay, installed it on the weekend, got it set up and road tuned by myself with an a/f gauge before i had to drive to work on the monday.. and any changes i made after could be retuned in.. not have to send the ecu away again. now that im selling the car.. i have removed the bits and pieces and the safc and everything is as normal.

aftermarket ECU or remap is the best option though.

Nistune will cost you $200 and probably $100 to get some one to adjust the afm setting or you can tell me what ecu model you are using and i could send you a stock tune adjusted to suit the Z32

Just go with the nistune setup, it's cheap and you can change your AFM size easily with the Nistune software while keeping that factory ecu.

Seconded. stealthy and easy to retune.

woah, you can connect your ecu to your computer and change the ecu settings through your computer? the r32 ecu just sits on the bottom left of the passenger seats just right next to the feet right...?

Buy the Nistune chip software and cable and you have a real time tunable ecu

id rather not tune it myself, as im still new to the tuning scene. Besides, im not going to fork out $400+ just to get my z32 working. How much does it cost to get your car tuned at a workshop?

Tunning the car just to take the Z32 will require it to be chipped and that will probably cost a couple of $100 to start with you are better off paying the $400 and adjusting this single setting your self very easy to do 1 drop down menu involved and it will at least mean when you do want the car tuned properly you are just paying for dyno time

i got my nistune supplied and fitted at status tuning, and they did the plug for the z32, i think it came to $700 or $750.

couldnt be happier.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
