If you have working eyes and hands and can read english, you can fix the AFM issue for yourself.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...p;hl=SOLDER+AFM

It'll cost you time and a about $30 for soldering iron and solder and sealant (if you don't already have any of those.)

there are pics and stright forward instrucitons of what to do.

anyone who buys a skyline should do a handful of things as part of the first service I think.

1.) new copper spark plugs gapged at 0.8mm

2.) tape up coil packs with good electrical tape (or buy that silicon shit for a bit more money)

3.) Clean AAC valve.

4.) Clean AFM

5.) Re-solder AFM internal points

6.) new nissan paper ai filter element for stock air box

these along with new oil and oil filter, new fuel filter, will see a brand new car in most instances... especially if you've just bought a stock or near stock skyline which is 10-19 years old.

it will cost you bugger all in the grand scheme of things and will probably solve many little bullshit issues these cars have.

Mate,

I have a few questions and please excuse the fact that I am so newby to all this...

1. After step 3... do I apply solder lead on that joints or what do I do... I don't understand?

2. Also, how do I reseal everything?

If you or anyone else can provide additional pictures, this would be much appreciated.

guys i just changed my engine oil to motul 4100 with rating of 15w50. After that the car feels more quiet but the problem is i normally warm up the engine about 5 minutes before driving but it has the tendacy of stalling and i noticed that the fuel pressure from the dash is kinda low:it will only stall if meter is pointing at 2. If its between 3 and 4 its fine.The normal level of oil pressure would be between 3-4 right?(during idle)

Just an update - it was the atmospheric HKS BOV .... I got a stock R33 GTR one and it works fine now as it's all plumbed back to the intake pipe.

However, I really miss the Ppsshhhh sound and am thinking getting a 50/50 BOV to avoid the stalling issues whilst getting the nice sound and engine response.... tell me what you think...

I think even with the 50/50 atmo/pb you will still get stalling issues, also the running rich issue. Update your ECU and then get an atmo :laugh:

My car came from Japan with a SSQV that is clearly plumbed back but still gives off the whoosh sound and it runs beautifully, never had a problem

maybe I'm just lucky? :)

Yeah, it's plumbed back... care to show how they managed to plumb it back - pic of the engine bay would be good?

The SSQV makes a very nice sound...

Yeah, if all things fail - I might bring the HKS SSQV into a tuner and get them to tune my car with the BOV.

Thanks.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
