Yep - that makes sense - Thanks SK.

BTW - You don't happen to know if the above pinouts are correct for the Q45 do you ??

ie:

Flow

=======>Turbo

1 2 3

1 = Ignition (12V)

2= AFM Signal

3 = AFM Ground

Cause when I wire it up like this it doesn't start - (I know it is something to do with the AFM cause the Y31 AFM works) ie I have the AFM wired wrong or it is busted,

Cheers,

Yup - getting 12V (ign), 0V (Gnd) and varying volts (signal) from the ECU.

PFC monitor on the AFM setting shows varying volts (1.1 and up , if recall) with the Y31 AFM installed but with the Q45 - I get 0.5V and it doesn't change cause it won't start.

BTW - from memory, my wires are different colours to yours.

From memory - I have (from the ECU)

Orange/Blue - Signal Wire

Black/White - 12V Power

Blue/White - ECU Earth

Which pins are B, D and E on the Q45 ??

Fluting around some more tonight .......

With ignition on only, PFC read out in Monitor reads 540mV when you crank it, it won't start and PFC continues to read 540mV (this is with my Q45 MAF in)

When I take AFM gnd (earth) off the AFM, PFC reads 5100mV and starts, but really really bad idle (which I can understand as the AFM is telling the ECU that I am at max air flow/oxygen density)

When I put the Y31 AFM in - initial AFM reading on the PFC says about ~500mV - when you crank it , PFC reading gradually climbs to 1100-1200 mV and idles fine.

BTW - the Y31 AFM terminals are marked A B C D E F

A= Not used

B= AFM Signal

c= Not used

D= AFM Ground

E= Ignition (12V)

F = Not used

BDE - Chris - maybe this is where you get your BDE from ?? (but not the right pinouts)

I def. don't have BDE or any letters on the Q45 or pins or anywhere.

I still think (hope) that maybe that I have wrong wiring - but don't want to try all combinations in case I blow something up.

OR - the Q45 could be stuffed.

I have searched the web all over the place - and do you think I can find the wiring pinouts for the Q45 ?? Nah - I've even searched on the damn part number of the Q45......

I'm begining to think Z32 is the way to go.......... he he :D

Anyone, Anyone ??

Need to have the car running and tuned by the 27th so I can take it Wakefield and put in a PB.

B-Man,

I may have the info you need. I have the q45 MAF on my car (RB25 in an s14a Silvia Chassis), but it is at home, and I am at work. I am trying to remember, and I believe that the power and ground are reversed from the rb25 MAF (series 2 anyway). I will look when I get home and see what is going on. In the meantime if you want, below is my writeup of how I determeined the correct pinout, so you could do that too if you want.

I couldn't find the info anywhere on the net either and ended up using a voltmeter/ohm-meter to deduce how to hook it up. First, figure out which wire is which from the ECU (I.E. Ground one lead of the ohm-meter on the body of the car/head/block, and touch other lead to the wires from the ECU, the one with Zero ohms is the earth, next switch the ignition on and test for which wire has 5-volts, that is power, the left over one is the signal).

The next part is harder, compare the resistance between the pins on the rb25 MAF to the resistance between the pins of the q45 MAF. I don't remember exactly what the values are, but they roughly similar (I.E. same amount of resistance between the power and earth pins on both MAFS etc). You know what the pins on the rb25 are from the first step. Measure the resistance between the earth pin and signal pin on the 25 AFM, then look for the same reading between two pins on the q45 AFM. When you find the same reading, you know that those are the ground and earth pins, but you don't know which is which. However, you do know now which is the power pin on the q45 (the one that isn't ground or signal), MARK IT!

Now, measure the resistance between the power and signal pins on the rb25 MAF, look for that same resistance between the power pin and one of the two unidentified pins on the q45 MAF. When you have found that, you have found the signal wire. Mark it too. The remaining one is the earth pin.

There you go! Like I said, I think it ends up that the power and earth pins are simply reversed from the rb25, but I don't remember for sure.

Greg Mitchell

P.S. If you can't find similar resistances between pins on the known working MAF and the Q45 MAF, there is a good chance your VH45 MAF is no longer working.

Also sorry about the Americanisms in the post, but that is what I am, and I don't have the time to change them all to Aussie friendly terms, but I did try a little, (earth instead of ground) :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, and typos, I am sure there are some of them mixed in as well. Looks like I also used VH45 and Q45 interchangably, the American version of the President is called called the Q45, so that is where that came from.

I have a Q45 AFM in front of me, it has three pins, they are marked "B D E" above the plug on the body of the AFM. The "B" is closest to the AFM inlet and the "E" closest to the outlet. The plug wiring is as follows;

The white wire goes to B

The black wire goes to D

The red wire (with black stripe) goes to E

The part number is 22680 61U00 A36-000 P60 903F, label is Yellow and this one was made by Jecs (Made in Japan).

I can send you a photo in high res if you need, PM me your email address.

Hi B-Man

I cant help you with the digi pics my camera's were stolen take SK up on his offer cause mine read's the same as his air flow left to right B.D.E. Sorry i cant be of more help

Cheers Peter

Sorry guys,

I've been in Melbourne all week for work. So I haven't done anything.

The P/N on my MAF is 22680 6IU0I A36-000 P61

6Z20A

Nearly the same as SK's excepts for the P60/P61 thing - don't know if that matter.,

Well, if BDE are in the order that SK mentions and BDE are Ign, Sig, Gnd respectvely - the I am wiring it up correctly and I have a stuffed AFM

OR since I have no BDE on the AFM - maybe they are different for the version I have - I'll take a pic

SK - can you please send pic to bfauldsbigpondnetau ? Thanks.....

Greg - I thought about doing it your way - but wsn't sure if the resistances would be similar - I will check that out on the weekend - thanks for the tip ?

I'll let you guys know how I go.

IF anyone has any more info , please post it up - cheers.

Greg Mitchell - you are a farking legend my man........

Measured the resistance betwen gnd and sig/12V on the Y31 AFM - Gnd & Sig = 5.6 Kohms , Gnd and 12V = 12.55 Kohms - between Sig & 12 V = 18.21 K ohms (the sum of 5.6 and 12.55 approx)

Measured resistance between B & D on my Q45 (5.74 Kohms) and then between D & E (12.54 Kohms) and then between B & E (18.09 Kohms)

Therefore I deduced that:

B = Signal (orange/blue)

D = Ground (Blue / White)

E = Ignition 12V (black /white)

Started first pop - lovely ! :D :D ;)

So happy :)

Thanks guys for all your help ! !

Now I need a tune - Chris - mate - send me your maps......;)

Who's the best PFC tuner in Sydney ???????

And for those of you who thought I was making it up when I siad I had no BDE on the AFM - here is the proof (note the BDE in texta , I put that on there - and only works with the above post)

Ignore the I,S,G (in texta) - THIS IS WRONG ! !

Let us know if you experience any strange idle issues.

Steve and I have both had issues due to mesh not being on both sides of the AFM.

Mine used to have a slight idle hunt and slight pop on idle.

The car had problems idling on 600rpm.

With the mesh the tacho needle sits rock solid.

    • You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.
    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
