So after my car being off the road for 6 months finally got her booked in to be tuned Tuesday next week.

Finished a few small mods and maintenance issues and last night I did my coolant.

Only real modification's worth noting for this topic are:

-removed aftermarket fuel rail and FPR in place of going back to stock.

-installed recalibrated 'Nismo' AFM's after having Z32's.

-removed 'Apexi' pods in place of going back to stock airbox.

Now I'm getting the dreaded poor idle, running rich and it won't rev over 2500RPM.

So after a search this all points to AFM's and the soldering inside (my units are virtually new though (refurbished) so I would like to think this isn't the issue)

The only thing I can think is that when re-wiring the standard plugs back in I've possibly mixed up one of the wires? If I recall there was two wires the same colour...

I've attached the best drawing I could find googling but naturally I don't read Japanese.

does anyone have a better standard wiring diagram for the standard RB26 AFM plug?!

...Or does anyone have any other thoughts on what else could possibly be wrong?!

Hi Ben

It has a Nistune ECU and was tuned with the standard RB26 AFM's (was installing Z32's until I realised they don't mate up to std airbox)

So I was under the impression that going from the standard units to Nismo (equivalent) items it obviously needs tuning but would still be driveable or has the Nistune ECU picked up that these are different units and decided to crack the poops with me?!?

Nistune hasn't "picked up" anything. The Nismo AFMs are the same physical size as the RB26 units but scaled the same as the Z32s. Consequently they are reading completely the wrong voltage relative to the amount of air that is flowing through them (compared to what the original AFMs would read with the same air flow). The ECU doesn't know you've changed the AFMs and is trying to run the engine according to a different amount of air than is actually flowing.

Agreed - Was just typing this as well until it popped up that you replied.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch

      re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
