I need to buy a new afm now as the one I have now is playing up.

I'm about to fit a gt2530 turbo, pfc, gtr injectors and 040 pump to my r32gtst, however not till after christmas.

I'm chasing 200 rwkw give or take.

It seems pointless to me to replace the afm with a stocky but some people seem to make this power without changing to a z32 afm.

If I buy a z32 afm now and fit the pfc and select the z32 option will the map run the car satisfactorily without an immediate tune?

Stock AFM is fine, but the Z32 AFM is a better unit for tunability and future proofing.

If your stock AFM wasn't playing up I'd say leave it for your 200rwkW target (or until it becomes a restriction), but I'm going to take a guess and say you're not going to want to live with "only" 200rwkW forever. At which point, your replacement stock AFM is going to be a waste.

And its not like the car is going to perform worse with the Z32 AFM at your current level of tune because it can't cope with the lower airflow, so there's no technical negative to it.

Be a man.

Do the right thing.

I've read a lot of threads on this.

My conclusion is that either afm would work for 200rwkw.

I'd probably buy a z32 afm later but have been forced to decide now due to the stocky failing.

The main point of my thread is to find out how well the pfc will function with the z32 afm on it's base map until I can fit my new turbo and 444cc injectors and have it fully tuned.

U may as well get a Z32 meter coz it really wont hurt especially with a pfc, however running a HKS GT2530 u dont really need a pfc, if u upgrade your fuel pump and get a HKS FCD and maybe a fuel regulator to adjust fuel pressure you should be good to around 220-230kw at the rear with your standard injectors, u can get ur ecu remapped and your rev limiter changed to 8200rpm and u should have one sweet ride

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
