Hi boys,

Hope someone can shed some light to what happen tonight.

Driving home tonight and at the lights had a bit of a squirt so I could jump in merging lane and all of a sudden revs cutting down and engine light on???

Pulled over quickly turned the car off and after few minutes started again with same thing not going over 2K revsmwith engine light on?

Lucky only 500 meters from home drove very slow. I"m now one very concerned Stagea owner.

Any input or where should I start looking is much appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

So when you said died no cleaning will help? Also where to get new one as I would imagine second hand would be a waste of money?

After I replace it how do I get the engine light not to be on or will it clear itself?

Thanks everyone for posting reply!

Cheers

Dave

There was an RB26 AFM fix in the DIY section - basically some of the soldered joints go dry, so you just reheat the solder to make it "take" again. You pop a cap off the compartment where the plug is, and check the pins that run from the plug to the PCB. You should be able to see dry solder joints with magnifying glass, or just re-do all of them anyway. No idea if the VQ AFMs are similar, and of course it could be some other problem.

VQ ones aren't similar and can't be repaired. It seems the processor on the board inside the afm stuffs up, it will require replacement.

The main issue is the original part has been superseded, and the new AFM Nissan supply doesn't seem to last long. Your original one has lasted 13 odd years, these are lasting 4 months if you are lucky. Nissan don't want to warrant them either, and at a cost of $350 each... My suggestion it to try and find a second hand one for now until I sort out an aftermarket alternative for us to use, at 1/4 the price, then keep it in your glove box. ;)

Our original Nissan p/n is 22680-6N211 and the new Nissan p/n is 22680-6N21A.

Regarding our chat the other day Scotty, apologies for not sending the link.

Here is the one that I purchased; Part number on my unit is exactly the same as the one pictured.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290794600600

As Scotty says, I had a brand new, OEM replacement (new P/N) fail in less than 3 weeks. Hit the key one morning, pop; dead.

Super pissed of would be an understatement. :rant:

The ebay replacement is working fine; and arrived very quickly. Has been in for a bit over 3 months according to my records.

Hey Scotty, I was thinking of sending one to my contacts in China to see if they could get it manufactured for a couple of dollars. Would need to buy a few thousand, but if everyone bought 5 or 6 they get used up pretty quickly. It wouldn't matter if they lasted 6-12 months either, if they were that cheap (change with the oil, lol)

However, the risk is they could be as bad as the Nissan ones & then we'd all be annoyed, even if they only cost 5 bucks.

Hey Dale, keep us posted on your experience with the Ebay one. Maybe we could do a deal with that guy for a bulk order?

That is the path I was going down Leon, but I wanted to check the quality and test the airflow map. As Dale is running a Chinese one I assume they work well, as long as they are all coming out of the same factory... And I bet that's the same factory Nissan buy from.

No luck with second hand unit so it's either nissan for $318 ex Melbourne or e-bay for $99 or I can get just the sensor from Amayama for 106 bucks?

The question is which one will last the longest??? or will the sensor be enough or do I need the whole unit?

Anyone.....

just the sensor, I've gone thru 4 of them, once done keep it clean. Touch would. Also what filter do you have I've had k&n and was nothing but trouble, paper is the best:)

The sensor is all you need to replace, the tube is just a plastic tube.

The Amayama one 'should' come with a 12 month warranty. Best to speak to them about it before purchase. They are known to last anything from 1 second to 4-6 months. Like I said, I wouldn't be buying one.

The second hand one can come from many different cars, eg Maxima, Xtrail, Pulsar, if you google search the part number you will soon realise they are all similar just with different numbers. Even VW and Merc ones look the same with a different plug. How long it lasts is anyone's guess.

I would just buy the ebay one in the link provided for now and try it out. There are a few guys running them without issue, I just wanted to check how accurate the air temp sensor was to ascertain the quality first. I will probably place a large order directly from China to bring the costs down for us all, and allowing us to afford a spare for the glovebox.

You guys getting early failure on new AFMs should talk to Fair Trading or the equivalent in your state. In NSW Nissan cant get away with saying there's no warrantee since its mandatory under the law to supply goods of "merchantable" quality.

I'd imagine they're going down the "part is being damaged by a fault on the vehicle" if the one on the car fails, then the replacement fails, they'd be arguing that an issue on the car is making the component fail.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
