mines fine, But shes been chewin fuel lately after i put in my R34 GTR fuel pump. Checked all lines no leaks looks ok. Thought I might clean my Pod again, and clean the AFM while im at it. its running really rich. And i just got a new O2 sensor thinking it would help ($180 :O ). still running rich..

*Edit* Oh no thats right, When i told nissan I go on SAU they gave me a $30 discount :D

Hey,

as others have said; carby cleaner or electronics contact cleaner works well.

If your AFM is constantly reading under what it should be (and thus, your

car is running slightly lean) this will help - you will find that mixtures will richen

up as the AFM now 'sees more air'.

If you're having problems with your AFM voltages going to 0 and the ECU going

into limp-mode this won't help. What probably _will_ help is the re-soldering sticky

(basically, cut the sealant off, remove the metal shield, resolder, replace and reseal).

Regards,

Saliya

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.

      Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
