Blown Power Fc Caused By Afm Miswire... Shoot The Electrician!


Recommended Posts

What a sad day =( a week or 2 away from recieving my new turbo kit n i recieved my z32 afm, n i drew up a wiring diagram for a electrician mate to wire up so i could keep both plugs of the afms so i could use one or the other

So he connected the 12V power wire from the car to the signal wire..

took it for a spin with the standard afm.. sweet.. swapped afms plugged in the z32 n it came up 5112mV's on the airflow on the power fc..

5 hours later worked out the power fc was semi dead.. it still turns on and all just wont start the car and the 12V wire to the afm is only putting out 6.8vs, and one of the relays in the back of the car continues to click on and off

standard ecu car starts fine.. and the relay makes no sounds...

so if anyone is a whizz with electronics.. or would know a place that is either familiar with the power fc or possibilibly might be able to fix it plzzz let us know!!

couldnt sleep so i went thru the entire car checking everything =P

found a blown fuse swapped it with the defogger... n she started

didnt even think to check the fuses as the standard ecu started the car fine

Had the same problem on Monday. Thought I was up for a new ECU, even the RAC guy didnt know what the problem was... Thanks to SN1P3R and her boyfriend, we found the blown fuse and the car is back on the road!!

Moral: ALWAYS check your fuses!!

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
