Hi all

I rang Nissan today, due to the fact that I have a faulty AFM on my R32, He said he'd get back to me.....

3hrs later he quoted me 1000.00 because they wont just sell the AFM to me.

Any thoughts?

you could get 2 z32s for a lot less than that...

Your getting your pants pulled down over the price..

Search the for sale sections. You can find them second at a FAAAR cheaper price.

Call up some Jap wreakers or Places that import half cuts. Or upgrade to Z32?

1 grand is rediculous

So $1000 for them to repair your afms? That sucks. I repaired mine a couple times and got jack of it breaking down so I bought a pair of genuine afms through nissan for $1100. Expensive, i know, but i didn't want to upgrade to z32 or buy second hand. Don't understand what they mean they wont sell them to you?

I guess they are 16 - 20 yo, so they don't really want to get rid of them?

were yours for r32's?

my cousin was also quoted a similar amount for an rb20 AFM about 1 year ago. very strange.

and no Greg you dont need a SAFC or anything like that to 'tune' an afm :|

you cant run a car with a standard ecu with z32 afm

Not sure if SAFC can be made to make it work, but your standard ecu will hate the z32

Nah man Nissan will rip you off big time, just get a (300ZX) Z32 AFM from any aftermarket place afew hundred dollars as some has said on here.

I don't think you will need a tune, but you can run it on a dyno just to make sure.

Ahh k Cool guys,

Least its not only me, that fixes my theories of being cursed :D

What about airflow meter elimination with an emanage ultimate (airflow map), anybody had a shot at that?

:) Thanks for all the info BTW

Do you mean running the car with no AFM?

If so I have seen a R33 GTR with a APexi Dejectro and there is no AFM's and also SAU member DSTROY has one and you can ask him about it.

I asked about it one time and from memory it came to the conclusion that it does the same thing as having AFM's.

Or rather there was not much of an advantage, as the APexi Dejectro was monitoring the Air Flows, insted of having AFM's.

But if your having trouble finding an AFM you could use the eManage Ultimate...

Yeah i did some research on it and found that i could drop the AFM, so i was sold on the Idea hahaha.

But i did want to know if it was reliable as a daily driver still after using the map, I.e. cold starts etc.

That and in the future i was thinking of a FMIC hence the i could get it tuned.

If you wanted to retain your AFM a better way to go about it would be to get a change over item through Injectronics, http://www.injectronics.com.au/.

They send you a new AFM and if it fixes the problem you send your old one back to them.

If it doesn't fix the problem you send the new AFM back.

New units come with a 24 month warrenty and cost about $300.

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
