HYBRID VL

hey guys I been looking at different things with my r33 and I relized all spoilers look shit on an R33 flat back is best and then I looked at the front and thought hmmm a nice twin round headlight conversion would look nice and then it got me thinking ive seen cefiro and R32 R34 fronts on an R33 but what about a 370z front end I reckin it wouldn't look too bed aye. its a fat car like the R33 is really no other skyline has the fatty dynamics like the whale body r33 wide front gaurds with the lighst going up I reckin would look kick ass. what you guys think cant find anything on the net yets still looking so either it looks shit or im 1st to think about it lol.

No that was just on ebay i didn't bother ringing Nissan infact i think i like the look of them off the car the tinted purple plastic kinda looks out dated IMO maybe a dark tinted plastic might look better though atm it looks good off the car just this glue making it look crap.

Ok so I was on the M5 110kmh massive winds window down arm out just chillaxing after a hard day at work when suddenly my drivers side weather shield decides to snap in two and shank my forearm and spin over my r33 and under a semi behind me and into the wilderness.....gone. So I was stuck with buying a new pair or genuine parts or take them off altogether after seeing prices of over $100 for 2 items I thought stuff it il takem off so I pulled one off and now im stuck with sticky glue on the rubber door piece what can I use to get this crap off.

Just to let you all know my problem is now fixed cleaned the AFM with CC and also resoldered the plug inside onto the board and resiliconed it on the top so far so good.

im using the stock ECU only mods on my R33 atm is a pod filter and 3inch cat back exhaust...though my mates S15 is doing the same thing and he is using a Power FC

that is my R33 doing it cleaned my AC valve and it hasnt done it to that extent since. Maybe give that a clean see how you go it fills up with crap over the years might help there is a DIY cleaning post on here If i CBF id link it but yer just search bro and you will find it.

is it like this mate.

just installed it all back in my car started it ran did do the bouncing idle but hasnt stalled yet after about a 8min idle plugs could be dirty so il change them next.

yer its actully around that area what do i do about that if its the reason?

Noticed this while i was investigating another issue and im kinda putting it down to a timing belt vibration if that is possible my car has done 108k and im guessing at 100k the belt wasnt change i got it 99k and i havent changed the belt so is this what happens when it gets abit stretched or somthing ?

Ok pulled the AFM apart i noticed that the plugs wasnt so tight in but more on one side then the other so after getting the plug off i filed all the prongs on the board and the plug to clean them up and got all the old solder off i then resoldered the prongs back on then tested with a multimeter to make sure power was running through it all four prongs were conducting nicely so i pluggged it back in started the car 1st start run np alil jumpy on idle but could be semi fouled plugs nothing major and did not stall at all seems all good so i put the top plastic lid back on siliconed it around the edges gave the inside of the AFM a generous blasting of Contact cleaner and its sitting in my garage ready to go back on tomorrow with the Pod filter lets hope my problem is solved.

i seen on ebay S2 AFM Pink and orange sticker for like $80 should i invest in one of these will they work on my S1 looks like some come with a brand new plug aswell.

nah im out all weekend and baby shower on sunday so yer ill be at my olds though i was playing around with my AFM my mate said that he heard that S1 AFM can unsolder on the plug dunno how true this is as i see no phsyical difference apart from a colored sticker from S1 and S2 afm Mine is green s2 is pink. Now started my car and it died would crank over unplugged AFM started ran for at least 5 mins on a bumpy idlebut mostly above 500rpm i also gave it a rev np it wouldnt make boost and alsi seemed like it cut at about 2000-2500rpm this is from engine bay cable rev now i turn it off i gave my AFm a clean again let it dry plugged it back in started it as soon as i reved it it just died and also didnt seem like it was making boost (also led me to think a cooler pipe had split or blown off) but on a switch off then back on again i had boost this is all while AFM was plugged in then it died...unplugged my AFM started it idled without dieing for at least another 5 mins gave it a few hand revs and it still didnt die until i turned it off....So im thinking this problem is AFm isolated OR the plug or AFM loom.

nah i dont think it has anything to do with the TPS as it idle ok its just it dies it dont drop idle then die it just dies BUT..i will check that as it will be 1 more thing off my list.

Ok did all the above...about 2 weeks ago started my car last night let it idle NP... Today went out started it was idling died...started idle die....start idle die..thought id start it and acelerate see if it keeps the revs up and it was like i wasnt even acelerating..so im thinking its more to do with either ignition maybe plugs,coils,Fuel pump or Fuel PSI regulator but i doubt it or AFM still now wen it was dieing and i was stuck halfway down the driveway i jumped out popped it bonnet and unplugged my AFm and then plugged it back in and cranked it started and idled NP...drove it back up the driveway..let t idle NP. i was reading that if i unplug the AFM and it keeps running then the AFm is stuffed If it dies its working well i unpluged it and it died on me plugged it back in and started NP and ran well. Maybe ther plug is stuffed or a connection or maybe it is still abit dirty the only other things i can think off is fuel or plugs as honestly im lucky to drive my car once a month i do let it idle in the driveway a few times each week. Thats due to my truck being my transport all day and wifes subie when im home. what you guys think AFM ? i was also thinking about check the ACV again aswell after i cleaned it maybe even just by a new 1.

yer was reading this thread last night gunna do it

Ok just started my car with the AFM and O2s connected let it run for abit and it started to do a lil idle glitch and then ran good then stalled. Took the AFM plug out started it ran good started idle glitch didnt stall. Plugged back in the AFM unplug the O2s and it ran like 600rpm really roughish idle but didnt stall kinda smelt like it was running rich at that point. Plugged all back in started it and it ran just like before. Im starting to think maybe the AIC valve alotta people at work have been saying its a common problem with alot of older 90's cars that have built up crap inside the valve and it limits or stops functioning and was told to pull it off and clean it cant hurt to do AFM and AICV at the same time right..

ok imma go try the o2 sensor unplug and yer i thought maybe AFM was dirty so il clean that this weekend6

direct link dunno what i did there soz for sidewayz action. so what am i looking for when i unplug the o2 sensor?

soz for sidewayz action

But it dont seem to be running rich at all. infact everything seems perfect just this damn idle problem Vid will hopfully be up shortly.

car is pretty much standard apart from a Pod filter and a cat back 3 inch nismo exhaust it runs standard boost and ECU hasnt been modified at all standard BOV aswell no i havnet cleaned the AFM yet its on my to do list for this weekend do i read to use brake caliper cleaner for that.

ok noticed this with my car when i 1st bought it a few years ago would idle between 1000-400rpm boucing while stationary like at lights in driveway morning warmup stuff like that now only yesterday my car was idling whilei was in the garage and it stalled i was like hmmm strange so i went and started it back up and it would not start so i poped the bonnet and checked the AFM plug and just had a look and then qwent back cranked it and it started let it run abit then it died again then i started it and it ran and then died again. didnt know hat the prob was as i have never had it just die like that so i gave it an oil change and filter i hardly drive the car i have had the car for 4 or so years bought it on 99k and its up to 108ks. Now im just wondering what the problem might be im thinking maybe this idling problem is all connected with the stalling i have a Vid of the idling but it didnt stall i just have to reduce the vid size from 850mb so i can upload it to youtube and link here. My thoughts were AFM though i was told unplug it and if the car dies it isnt your AFM so tried that and the car died so thats one thing if its true. AIC valve maybe dirty so i might pull that off and clean it this weekend coming. also i thought maybe Air filter dirty or maybe fuel filter so ill change all them this weekend aswell. see how things go any thoughts much appreciated.

yer cause all i have is a pod filter and exhaust atm. wanted to get rid of the bov and im about to fit the rest of my 3 inch exhaust system but now i require my licence for work im having 2nd thoughts

yer i wish i had 1 to put back on lol.
