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.

[R31Nismoid]

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.

[N1GTR]

Ash don't bother, no matter how many times you or anyone else says it there will always be people that insist on doing it twice instead of right the first time

[GTRsean]

Where's that 'like' button!

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.
