Hey Guys,

Recently the GTR has been runing really rough, this started happening when I was out of town (of course).

I have come back yesterday and with some proper help have found that my air flow meters have been playing up. I have had many stops on the freeway and the car stalling and only reving to 2500 rpm. And then all of a sudden all is ok. This problem is really starting to get on my nerves, and with some thinking with Verms have decided to see if there is anyone willing to help me by donating 2 working air flow meters for us to check if this is indeed the case as told by the stock ECU DTC.

To make matters worse I am leaving on posting to Melbourne on the weekend so all this is very urgent if I am going to be able to make it on time, if indeed at all.

I am also willing to buy a set off someone as if this is the case I will needed replacements.

Any help here will be very much appreciated, and im sure a dinner will be thrown in if you are willing to help me with coming down and helping (and lending the AFMs) as this is really important for me to meet this posting.

Thanks Guys

i dont have any afm's but have you tried cleaning them? they can get oiled up and wont send the correct signals.

Motoguard Electrical Contact Cleaner works well, $8 from autopro.

We found the code coming up with the airflow meters so first thing we did was clean them with contact cleaner.

Though that might have fixed the problem but its still doing it.

If anyone has a pair of them we could borrow to confirm that they are the problem.

When idling they read on the power fc hand controller around the 1000mV and when it started playing up dropped to 500mV.

I'll swing past on my way home today and grab them if possible!

Perhaps the boys at ESP can help. Glen has his red R32 GTR sitting in the display room.

Paul has some FS - $200 each with plugs and they were hardly used.

2 x AFM's (Z32)

Call them first and if that Fails then swing by mine on your way home.

You fcuk them - you buy me a new pair too

Im nearly 100% sure paul sold 1 so only 1 available.

I thought you werent running afm?

Im hoping someone has a pair thats they aren't currently using to make things easier.

If the possibility is there for alex to possibly buy them so he is able to get to melboure on the weekend to start course!

My AFM's are still on my GTR eventhough I'm not using them.

Saves me making up pipes and they're always there - just in case.

Plus if I get pulled over all looks as it should :thumbsup:

PS. If it is your AFM then I expect oonly 1 is failing. Hence 1000 to 500 ?

Keep the fuzz happy :P

All it needs to do is get me to Melbourne, so if its one or both that are stuffed I'm going to either find them or find away to drive it.

But any help is good help. I would even consider borrowing one and posting it back to anyone who is willing.

Thanks guys for all your help. One of the AFMs I got off Paul is faulty, but I have now found my good one and both are now working well. And it was nice to meet you too Paul, thanks for the tips for future upgrades for the GTR. Melbourne here I come!!!

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
