Just followed the tute at: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...-s-t113284.html to attempt to fix my afm's (intermittently dies under acceleration OR when im cruising at a constant speed and need to wack it with a torch to fix)

My solder connections seem fine, putting a bit of pressure on them no movement, and they look fine.. fresh even ( sum1 else has pulled these apart)

Was just wondering if it matters that i'm missing the yellow cover for the AFM circuit board? (just in case it acts as a ground or smtn, not the outer black cover)

thanks,

Also, is there anything else that can go wrong that i could check for? A dirty sensor wouldn't cause this would it? I have already re-wired about 40 cm of the wiring going into the AFM (i was moving it and it was stuffing up randomly) but that didn't fix it, and only hitting it fixes it so i would think that'd rule out a sensor problem

a 'new' one will cost a lot more than $100. (closer to $1000 - thanks Nissan!)

2nd hand you should be able to find them for $50-$100 max

i'd resolder it anyway. visual inspection of solder will tell you very little. Resolder it just to be sure and see if it works then.

otherwise, could just be borked.

Resoldering is so easy you might as well. I did mine even though they appeared to be ok.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
