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

    • We have 2x Swifts and my plans for a Swift, unfortunately, do not extend to an intake and an exhaust. I've been having dirty thoughts about a 2.5L Suzi V6, AWD gearbag out of a suitable donor, rear floorpan graft to take the rear cradle from same, and either trumpets of evil or a small supercharger. If I'm going to make noise in a Swift, I want it to be anti-social, evil handling and rough. Probably need to be fully stripped inside, matt black paint, plastic windows, 7" wide wheels, big brakes, silly suspension, etc etc etc. I have no idea if any of the proposed driveline components could take the pain. But it would be a hoot finding out.
    • Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile
