My R32 GTS4 has been a bit random of late. When idling, it sometimes hunts up to 2k where it idles for a bit. Sometimes it idles, hunts lower and lower then stalls. Sometimes when I am driving (cruising at 3k in 5th) the power comes on an off. Sometimes the car keeps stalling and I can't get it to turn on and after 4-5 tries it turns on and runs fine. Other times the car runs really well.

There are no leaks apart from a minor leak from my BOV at idle.

I have tried jiggling the harnesses with the car on and have found no change in the idle of the car. I am thinking that maybe the AFM is on the way out. I have had a pod on it with-out bracing for about 5 years and am thinking that the bouncing of the car has shaken the AFM up to the point where it is rooted.

I am not sure if I am right and am curious as to whether or not an auto electrician will be able to tell me if it is ok? Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ben.

A pod without bracing for 5 years???

I did that in my car and my AFM f**ked up in like 2 months.

It was the dumbest mod Ive ever done to my car right after fitting and atmo BOV. Needless to say my car is back to its "stock" form and runs 100 times better.

Anyway, i think it is your AFM and it may need resoldering inside the electric circuits as when pods are not secure, they bump your AFM around and destroy the electrical contacts.

Open that fuse box and check it out. Have a soldering kit with you.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
