just wondering guys, what can u expect to see from faulty fuel injectors in the car?? and what about faulty afm??

my cars jerking n missfiring like no tomorrow, i cant even drive it to 70-80km/h

got brand new 040, spark plugs, split fire coil packs

any help appreciated

thanks

so a faulty afm can cause all of this? jerking and popping? has anyone else had this issue? i just wanna make sure coz ive spent soo much n gotten nowhere

First off have you tried cleaning the afm? My r32 gtr was having some issues (to start with I thought it was the spark plugs too, went out and bought all new ones and had them gapped correctly haha. Problem not solved), so I removed the pod filters, took off the afms and sprayed the wires (2 little wires running parallel with eachother) with an electrical cleaner spray. There was lots of dirt build up on mine. Once that's done, flush it (NOT with water, I can't remember if i used methylated spirits or another one. I always forget what the chemicals are called until I go to use them haha. Has a very low flash point anyway). Let it dry, re-fit and see how it goes.

My car improved drastically after cleaning the afm's.

tried cleaning it and does no good :)

u think i can directly swap it with a z32 afm if i dun have an rb20 one available? i know u usually have to tune it n change ecu, etc.. to make it run properly, but can i just chuck a z32 one in there just to see if all the jerking n popping goes away? just so i can confidently determine whether it is the afm?

if yes: are the plugs the same? n all i do is directly plug in the z32 afm?

thanks in advance

didnt want to start a new thread so i thought i would ask here. as its simular.... my R32 gtr runs really well to the say last bit of topend then just starts to spluter as its adjusts it self ....its odd because the car is potent right up to where it plato's out then goes hard again. i am guessing fuel pressure maybe?

I'm not sure that i can get this car on a dyno in this town as there all 2 wheelers and i dont really want o send all drive to the back until i undestand it more ...

Any hints before i go hunting !

Sounds like a screwed spark plugs or fuel system to me, You might have a good look at that first before doing anything else could save you alot of money.

AFM problem normals tends to play only after hard revvin and coming to the traffic light your rev will drop and wanting to stall.

interesting!!! ... it sits at idle fine and nothing changes after a harder drive ...

i am thinking a plug would give a more constant miss and not just fail up top .

I am from Vl land and the learning curve is faily simular but totaly different........ i will work it out :)

i find that the problem gets worst after a drive. like a drive first thing in the morning, the problem is still there but only at high rpm. i would park my car for like an hour, then when i start it up again, i couldnt barely drive it home. it would jerk n pop like crazy, i cant even revv past 2500rpm

why dont u just ask someone near you with an r32 to swap over the your AFM and drive it for 15 minutes?

i had the same problem and changed everything (plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump etc) and after changng the AFM it was perfect

with a screwed AFM i could barely drive. the car would jerk back and forth rather voilently and everyone would look at me like i was a retard trying to drive. other times the car would run smoothly with no troubles

i had the same problem, basically after driving around for a while it would basically shut down and only allow me to rev to 2500rpm and stall when coming to a stop.

The problem was afm's and since replacing them have had no problems at all.

But i also had other problems associated with my top end power, my throttle position sensor and neutral switch were stuffed and my fuel pressure regulator was buggered only giving 3.5 bar instead of 5. So after all those things were fixed my GTR is running very sweet.

I have same problem but from about 4500-5000rpm. Also sometimes nearly stalls at lights. Could this be afm?

does it feel like a harsh fuel cut.. mine does it too, but it sorta like splutters, then goes crazy with power... it also stalls at lights to on occasion.. and it seems to happen when the car is warm....

I had a similar (jerky) type problem with the AFM on my R33.

After much stuffing around I pulled it apart and found that 2 of the connections inside the AFM had broken.

I soldered all four of them again just for good measure, put it all back together and sealed it with silicone and haven't had a problem since.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
