Just a warning. If you have your Airbox open at the front and/or a power duct installed. Close it up in wet weather as a single drop in the right place will fry the AFM. I have had mine just go and read countless other stories. Make sense now I think about it. Would just like to save others potential wasted money.

Shit that sucks.....pretty sure a late model X-trail one will work if your searching. I have to say though I have had my power duct for over nearly three years now and haven't had a problem.

My only problem with the AFM is it is reading up to 4.97% because of the tune!!!!

I told you that 9 months ago Craig.:P

I have had the Powah duct for a year with no issue but I can see why it would happen. What filter were you using? I have an oiled k+n, perhaps the oil traps the water better?

At 4.9v you get thrown through the windscreen. :bunny:

lol... tell me about it.

Have had my powerduct on for a while now and have driven through some pretty damn serious downpours (95mm in 3 hours for example).

No issues.

Which filter are you using Matt?

I have to agree with Cam on this one, I've done lots of driving in heavy rain since I put the Power Duct on and have had no issues resulting from this.

The car also sits outside in the heavy rain, no problems starting it or driving it.

As I was commuting over an hour each way to work for several months, 70 - 110km/h in pouring rain and no issues.

Surely this is isolated or caused by something else?

I'm running a K&N panel filter. I've closed my box up until the rain stops. There are guys in the US running Pod filters on there V35 and g35's in winter and going through 3-4 AFM's a year....lol I'm sure the std filter would do a better job at keeping the moisture out.
