Mine started doing the same thing this morning. Started fine, CEL came on, then got half way down the street when I realised I couldn't rev above 2100.

As soon as I happened I figured it was the AFM, I was just hoping someone could confirm the part number.

I've seen 22680-6N211 bandied about, and cheapest I can find it for is $202 (http://www.g35parts.com/Nissan-part-number-22680-6N211-p/22680-6n211.htm)

However there is another thread where 22680 6N201 is quoted, which is HEAPS cheaper (http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=22680+6N201&_sacat=See-All-Categories).

Can anyone confirm what the right part number is, and how much I can expect to pay?

If anyone has a working spare now's the time to speak up! As soon as I get the Fcon in I'll be running the MAP sensor anyway, just need one to see me through about 1-2 months.

Pretty sure I heard Iain say a X-Trail one is the same. Might be a a 2nd handy around (local wrecker) if you only need it for a few months. Otherwise they mightn't be too expensive new from Nissan. If you buy one, it will only be a matter of time before you can sell it to someone else with the same problem, haha

Edit: found the post from Iain- "...same as a t30 xtrail - 22680-6N211. thats for the hotwire only, not the whole tube - which isnt required anyway"

Yeah I found that post too, thanks Leon.

Only thing is I've found the 6N211 is ~$200, and the 6N201 is ~$80.

Big difference in price for a hotwire. Iain thinks they're ~$300+ RRP from Nissan, have to check with them Monday. I'll check the local wreckers but last time I called them they tried to shaft me big time.

[Commsman]

I just found the awesome forum thread too, & it sounds too pricey for my liking. If you can do without driving your car over 2500rpm for a while, the cheaper option would be the go.

[Commsman]

Iain blew his by sucking in fine red dust @ Coffs rally. Apparently his filter didn't seal perfectly against the airbox.

Could your failure be related to you running that pod filter...? I think I may have commented previously "no free lunch", lol.

[zei20l]

6N201 is the plastic tube that the AFM fits into. the 6N211 is the actual hotwire which you need.

yeah mine copped some dust and blew. but it was a 2nd hand one off the wreck, so it was bound to go soon anyway.

the part number Leon has quoted from the M35 stagea forum is the correct one.

How did I know you'd bring that up?

Cheers for the part numbers guys, will order one tomorrow. As for whether it's the pod's fault, I was planning on replacing it so I might get that nutted and see if another one goes.

For all I know it's still the original AFM, so I'm not too worried yet.

[bigkevracer]

$240 trade from Nissan for the AFM, and it'll be in tomorrow.

I can probably get it cheaper from the US, but by the time you pay for freight, and have to wait for it over Christmas, I figured it was worth it to get it this week.

Has ANYONE tried a 22680 6N201 ?

Has ANYONE tried a 22680 6N201 ?

See Scotty for AFM. He has some in stock that are spot on. I have done more than 10,000 K now with Scotties AFM without a problem.

[wht510]

I've just had mine fitted (personally!) by Scotty as I was 'stranded' at Nissan.

I was quoted $270+gst from Nissan for the 22680-6N21A version after providing my VIN (informed it was supposedly not the original part number that I had done 115,000K on, but the next revision from Nissan)

NOTE: for those who think it's the AFM that needs replacing: I couldn't get my car to idle at all (5 seconds ish of idling like it was on 3 cylinders and then stopping), and as soon as I disconnected the AFM it was drivable in limp home mode. Got me out of trouble, that's for sure.

Thanks Scotty for the AFM. I'll let you know how it goes (I'll keep noting the fuel economy too).

For those of you who have a NM35 with 100k+ on the clock, I'd even carry one in the glove box just in case you are interstate etc. Cheap insurance!

[wht510]

Oh and I don't think it was dust that did mine. I think it was vibration. I drove to Korumburra recently via kooweerup and the roads out there require a lift kit and 35" tyres.

115,000k's might contribute to that

[scotty nm35]

Glad I could sort you out mate.
