Hey all, Im having trouble with my airflow meter on my rb20det r32. Im pretty sure its the plug that if faulty, does anyone know where to get another one? can you even cut and reconnect these wires? when i drive the car, it randomly runns really rough and idles around 1,500, you cant drive it because its really jumpy, and then the revs bounce up and down after putting it in nuetural. Playing with the wires of the airflow it fixes itself...drive another 500m up the road and it does it again. Iv cleaned it 5 times within 2 days with MAF airflow Cleaner. Spraying the plug with WD40, RP7, CRC, it last a lot bigger drive then if i dont spray it.

what series is it?

if its a 3 prong one...

i got a plug off a N15 or N14 uplsar from the TPS???? i think thats what it was off, it was brown. if you find an N16 pulsar they have a plug that goes to the coilpack that is exactly the same as the 3 prong plug on a skyline afm.

it wasnt a perfect fit, but you just modify your afm plug bit ever so slightly and bam, new plug fits.

im pretty sure r32 and r33 afm are the same (i did it to my r33)

you then solder/clamp the wires to match, make sure u look up the wiring, or pm me and i can help you out.

however if it is a 4 prong one i havnt looked for a plug to suit

Thanks, I will try this tonight. :action-smiley-069:

thanks for the replies

if the soldering dosent work, its probably the plug, especially if it looks ratty, when my afm was playing up, i replaced the actual plug going to it, i didnt touch inside it.

i think i wll try that first. everytime i play with the plug it stops, so im pretty sure its the pllug. where did you get your plug from? and it fixed your ploblem? well my airflow meter hadnt been used in ages because i had a greddy emanage ulitmate in it which had a MAFless tone, (no airflow meter)

what stops? the car?!

lol. sorry, when im driving along and it starts to run really rough, i pull over and stop. its idleing at about 1500 and then starts to bounce up and down between 1000, 1500. pop the bonnet while the car is still running like crap and play with the plug of the airflow meter and it runs fine again...for a little while.

sounds like the afm, could be touchy ground wire? do both techniques, no harm can come of it

    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
