Hi guys i need to buy a z32 afm for my r33 with power fc. im looking on ebay and there are a few different brands, i can get a new one for $129 or the bosch and jecs for about $330. Is there any difference and is it worth spending the extra?

There is a difference.

One is original. One is a flea-bay copy.

You want an original - Google to find out why the copies are so bad if you want to know more.

Yes, the chinese copies of the chinese afm can be problematic. You should buy your chinese made genuine Bosch afm from an Australian supplier so at least you have some sort of recourse. There are a few traders on this forum who sell them I am fairly sure

can sum1 have a look on ebay for me and post a link to a decent one, would be much appreciated.

Why ebay?

There are over 20 Trusted SAU Traders that could source the product, for a decent price. Probably even have them in stock ready to go. Best thing is they are all Australian and you KNOW it will be legitimate.

If R31 gives me the okay ill post up the seller in here.

He has a very good rep on ebay and I purchased one off him for $130.

Jez had no trouble tuning with it and it was NOT a copy.

I read the "how to spot a fake Z32" on the nistune website as well.

Why would you pay $300 off a trader when you can get one for $130?

I understand there are fakes out there but fark look at kando...

You guys need to understand ebay has reputable sellers

How is a 2nd hand AFM - the same as a brand new one?

Buying a 10yo+ AFM is no more purposeful than buying a ebay copy. Everyone knows the AFM's shit themselves, yes you can attempt repairs, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

So you spend $130 ($155 posted) on a repaired AFM, 6 months later it's dead. All of sudden you've spend $300 (to get another)... When you could've just spend $300 to begin with and it would be fine for the next 10 years.

The poor man pays twice.

You wouldn't use a 2nd hand fuel pump, AFM isn't much difference.

Ask anyone that's had to diagnose a intermittent fault with an AFM. It's a ripe pain in the ass. For $150 difference it's just not worth the arse ache.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
