ahh ok and ill get the part number and check it that way

it isnt brand new its 2nd hand

Why risk it with a 2nd hand AFM? It simply is a waste of money.

But a new one, from a respected workshop - you won't get a fake, or one that could break in 6 months.

Don't know what all the fret is over second hand genuine units are... Most of these are run with good filters. What if someone bought a brand new unit for their car, used it for 6 months, and then upgrades to map and sells the afm for half the price? Its a good saving on a unit which hasn't much age and will probably last you the life of the car...

I bought my genuine piece over from the US a while back. Never had any issues with it(touch wood). I wouldn't buy an "z32 alternative". Often, the fake ones are listed as alternatives or aftermarket parts.

How do you know someone only used it for 6 months?

You don't.

AFM's are so cheap that it's just not worth the risk. They seem to only last 10yrs anyway so almost a consumable like a timing belt really. They certainly don't last the life of the car at all. AFM's are known to fail regularly.

A 2nd hand Z32 could be 5 years old for all you know, and belted around a bit. For the sake of a couple $$, just get a new one.

Exactly anyone can say part x has done 10000km, but in reality it has probally done close to 100000km. That's the problem with buying second hand parts. Seeing as the afm is a critical part of keeping everything running sweet i don't see why people don't fork out the extra say $100 for a new one. I got my bosch one bran new for $310 from bursons.

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
