Did you remove the AFM at any stage?

If not, I'd still be looking for a vacuum/boost leak somewhere. It'll be pretty large. Get a can of Aerostart or Start-ya-bastard and spray it around if you can get it running. When you spray it near the vacuum leak the revs will increase significantly.

If it won't start now it will be because the plugs are fouled. Clean them or put new ones in

What AFM was taken off, and replaced with what. Hopefully you haven't replaced a stock RB20/RB25 (green sticker I believe) with a Z32 one or something silly like that?

....and if i did this with the stock ecu still in what would happen? my 32 is not starting after i put a z32 AFM in with the stock ecu. so i removed the stock ecu and battery. put dr drift ecu/battery back in.

now the engine will not fire.

pretty sure the ecu is tuned to remove the lean-derivative when adding the z32 but could i need a bigger fuel pump/injectors? I got it off a friend who had it running fine on his rb20 sil with z32AFM - he was also running 16psi vs my stock 11psi.

i will post a picture of the wiring to the z32 AFM as i had problems with it reading the signal at all.

any help would be much appreciated.

checking plugs/battery terminals and further vac seal testing tomorrow.

i was afraid of that. i wired it up. 1st time was a dull attempt i must admit. but the second time i made sure everything was soldered/heatshrinked and secure. the pins were nicely revealed facing the socket. they were in correct order. although i may have had them in reverse at first....could that be the fault?

btw i had to go to global auto spares to buy 2 little slider socket things which are a B$%^ to find for those faced with this problem.

do they need to be heatshrinked right until the end so there is absolutely no copper exposed? do u think by extending the lines i may be "altering" the signal ? cuz the cables were way too short to work with.

do u have a pic of ur wiring?

Can't use a non-stock AFM with a stock ECU. It may idle but it will run super rich because of the Z32 afm + stock ecu pairing, and probably fouled your plugs. May be worth checking if your Z32 is an actual genuine unit not a chinese copy.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
