Hi guys,

ive been into rotaries since i was little, and have been fascinated by them (by the amount of power you can get from a 1.3L, and by how you can go through 2 engines in 2 years) however now i have bought a 1993 skyline r32 gtst-4.

Im still figuring out this website, as its pretty different to ausrotary, and i have a few question about air flow meters that i wasnt sure where to put.

Why are z32 afms so good? They are the standard air flow meters off a 300zx yeh? are they simply used to enhance singnal to ecu in high boost applications? Hw much would one expect to pay 2nd hand?

If someone could PM me (ive figured it out now ;) ) thatd be mad.

cheers,

Josh.

hi and welcome, to answer what you said about the z32 AFM, they are the same size as the stock skyline AFMs but they read in a slightly different resolution so they don't max out quite as easily (allowing a higher max power before they max out). you do have to have either a piggy back ecu or an aftermarket ecu to run one though. you can't simply hook one up to the stock ecu.

hey, ahk, thanks.

and yeh i know about the ecu tuning business etc etc, but has anyone else got any info on weather or not they are the airflow meter off a 300zx?

cheers.

      Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
