just be wary of aftermarket AFM's. A friend of mine had an AFM failure in his Zed last week, bought an unknown brand AFM (no markings on it at all). It looked the same as a normal z32 afm but when we hooked it upto datascan to clear the codes and went for a drive we found that the Airflow Voltage through it was different to a normal Z32 afm. His car is an NA and it hit 5V airflow at around 6000rpm which caused the fuel cut to kick in (i think, car just lost power). Swapped with my standard afm and everything was fine again. He is now using a Bosch Z32 afm and his car is now back to normal.
