This dodgy looking dude at the wreckers told me today, that if i replaced my AFM with a skyline one, it would give 10% extra air flow and therefore more power. I think its bull**** but maybe it isnt.

Unless they are bigger or have no mesh to protect the air sensor thingy in the middle, i think he is pulling a bit of ****. with that money - buy a standard vl AFM and make yourself a bigger pipe for it if you really want- Cheers

this geezer is just trying to sell you something that you dont need. to get more power out of it take the 2 mesh bits out of the afm. i didnt notice it with my auto but my mate noticed a power increase in his gts. read somewhere (probably here) that someone did a test on the vl intake and the most restrictive part was the mesh grill in the afm!!!!!!!!
