Z32 afm not larger in diameter than the R33T stock unit.

I was under the impression that the afm itself was bigger in overall diameter.At least the stock holes still line up leaving me able to use the current filter.

The only difference asthetically being the solenoid,the post that holds it and the plug.

Maybe i confused it with an rb20 item?Hmmm.At least this afm gives a more accurate readout.

Is it ok if i remove the mesh at the rear of the afm?

People fit Z32 AFM's to gain a larger tuning resolution from them - NOT because they are physically larger. If you do not have aftermarket engine management, get some or you've wasted your money.

Yes it is okay to remove the mesh from the back of the AFM if you feel the urge. Make sure you get it all out though.

Just a pet peeve, the Z32 has a larger RANGE the resolution is actually worse!!!!

Curse you HPI and your misuse of terms!!!!

I need coffee...

I don't quite understand what you have written there.

Range and resolution are two completely different things.

According to Sydneykid's magic table the RB25 is good for about 226rwkW whereas the Z32 can do about 255rwkW (has a 13% larger range).

I suspect that simply putting the Z32 AFM would give false lower load readings which would make the car run lean, I would get your car on a dyno and check it out.

if you dont have an aftermarket ECU...

as 2rismo said - you've wasted your money as it wont work without one.

if you do indeed actually have an aftermarket ECU, you also need the Connector Plug for the Z32 AFM also, not just the AFM itself.

do a search in the Forced Induction secion. This has been covered 100's of times in detail

Yes that's what I meant. At least I think so.

The reasoning is sound if the logic is not.

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
