I did this fix to my GT-R about 8 years ago and it hasn't missed a beat since.

At the time, I wrote it all up but never got around to putting it up online.

One thing I would add is that I also found bad solder joints on the AFM board itself. Once I had the lid off the AFM, I repaired these as follows:

- carefully lever the copper cover upwards to gain access to the board beneath (see crappy photo - taken after resoldering)

- the three solder joints circled in red at bottom right of the top board were bad and needed resoldering

- the other solder joints circled in yellow on that board looked reasonable, but I resoldered them anyway

Note: Do not touch the lower board. It has been made using a completely different process (surface mounting) and is much more delicate. It also should not have the problem of “dry joints”.

Good luck!

Dave.

Wanted to bump this thread as well, because it fixed my problem with my R33 GTR.

My car wouldn't idle properly intermittently, and would sometimes miss, now it runs like dream!

Thanks, it's like a new car now!

My car doesnt rev up to 3k now, since I opened and cheked the AFM's yesterday, didnt do anything or resoldered, but before that, I experienced the same but I can manage to rev it higher just pumping the gas always, but now, I cant rev it high even often pumping the gas, I also clean the fuel filter checked the plugs and coil pack which seems ok. Now I dont know what to check next. Please help.

Had my car diagnosed and found error code 0012. w/c is AFM . So I told the mechanic it cannot be since I think the AFM is in good condition. So he decided to remove the socket while the engine is running and it died. so he ruled out that it might not be the AFM, he removed the silicon rubber inside the housing of the socket w/c is in not good condition and connect it again and whoalla!! It run as normal condition, we decided to diagnose again and the error was gone but another came out w/c is code 0055 (condition normal). we checked the code error here in this forum and it was listed "No Malfunction". I will drive test it later just to be sure!!

Great help on this forum!!!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
