Hi have a Z32 AFM here. Need to check its condition properly before I go try selling it. Last time I looked at getting my RB20 one checked I think I was quoted around the $30-$40 mark!!

Apparently it is possible to test using a multi-meter.. If you know please tell.

Cheers.

Yeah its not to difficult.

All you need is a 12 volt power supply, a fan and a multimetter.

Hook the power supply positive to pin 5 and the negative to pin 3.

Now hook the multimeter positive lead to pin 2 and the ground lead to pin 4.

You should once power is put the the afm see a voltage of around 0.5volts with no air flow.

Now turn on the fan and see if the voltage increases to around 2.5 volts.

This could be more or less depending on how much air the fan will blow.

A variable speed fan is best as it allows you to test the afm at different levels of air flow (more air more voltage).

The pin out of the afm is the same as the RB20 unit so if you get confused have a look at http://rb20det.com/air_flow_meter_pinout.html

Hope this helps

Yes however I am unsure if the R33 afm pinouts are the same as the z32 or the R20.

cool, will have to get the correct pin outs.

nothing actually wrong with my afm, but good to know.

my fuel consumption seems quite high, just changed my O2 sensor, but not too confident it will fix anything.

would afm affect fuel economy? i dont really think it would. by my reasoning (which isnt that great) i would think a dirty afm would show less airflow and therefore adjust to leaner mix rather than richer.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
