Hey Guys I Been To Every Forum So Far About This And Haven't Had Any Help.. Can You Guys Please Help Me And Tell Me Whats Wrong With My Wiring.


Recommended Posts

Today i did some fooling around with different maf sensors..

today i took the n60 mafs off and out. I went and re-installed my stock rb20 mafs.

When i had the rb20 mafs wired up my car started right up with no starting fluid and started smooth but my idle was still high and now it started smoking black!!!

so i took the rb20 maf out and went back to the n60 mafs.

n60 mafs car wouldn't start without spraying starting fluid but once started and running i noticed the n60 mafs my car will not smoke black.

so one last time i went and re-installed the stock rb20 mafs again and car started right up smooth but was smoking black again..

and also while car running...

car running unpluggin the n60 mafs car will stall out....

car running unpluggin the rb20 mafs car will not stall out.

so what is going on guys? am I wiring my mafs wrong or something???

ecu is still not throwing any codes other than 55.

ok and this i just found out with some searching...

it seems lik when running the rb20 afm i just found out my rb20 maf is using a rb25 series 2 pigtail haress which i found out the colors are

White with Blue Trace - Ground

Orange with Black Trace- Signal

Black with White Trace - 12v Power

which tells me that is a series 2 rb25 pigtail afm

sooo hrmm yeah my rb20 maf is using a rb25 series 2 pigtail so sonmething is wrong.

so i'm guessing i wired something wrong.. Can you guys help me clear this up?

Edited by hcr32sky240sx

sounds like you're running the wrong maf/afm then

rb20 ones have a green label on them with 4 wires

i have the right mafs its green label its j60 which is rb20 but the if u reaad my post.. the problem

my pigtail is an rb25 series 2 and the wire colors do not match.."

so bascilly all i want to know is how to wire the pigtal to my rb20 mafs harness..

is that so hard???

and yes its stock ecu

You cant use other AFM's without changing the VQ table in your ECU - i.e. the voltages are scaled differently

R32 AFM is the same as R33 S1 AFM

Wire A - Not Connected

Wire B - Signal

Wire C - 12v Ground

Wire D - Signal Ground

Wire E - 12v Power

R33 S2 AFM is the same size and calibration as the other two

White with Blue Trace - Ground

Orange with Black Trace - Signal

Black with White Trace - 12v Power

Hope that helps

Im sorry but what motor is it RB20, RB25 or RB26? and what ECU is it?

I ask because it sounds like one of those AFMs worked, one was right for start up but too rich for normal running and the other the opposite, if the second one ran properly it may be the start up componants maybe faulty, check the ACC valve etc (I say etc because there are others that I cant remember ATM)

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
