Hey, well to my enjoyment, my car problems have come back. Just to recap, im getting an AFM problem. This is caused by either the ECU or the Loom connection. I got the ECU checked over today for any faulty circuits etc and it seems all the soldering is fine. This by all means doesnt mean that the ECU is fine thou, one of the chips could of burnt out or somethin. Anyway by being able to test another ECU, this will tell me if it is indeed my ECU which is faulty or the loom connection.

Anyhelp greatly appreciated hint hint steve :(

Thanks Dean

Yeah sorry Dean, I acutally gave my ECU away about 6 months ago to someone who was in a similar position to you :D

Have you had all the electrics checked out? Just ask because if something caused the ecu to choke, putting a new ecu in may result in the same problem. Seems pretty strange that something like an ecu would go tits up, as there are no moving parts and are pretty well protected where they live. You must be getting pretty frustrated by now, all this dicking around?

For a second hand stock ecu, you could perhaps try one of the shops around that deal in parts or get front cuts, ask them if you can try before you buy? Tuning shops might have them sitting around too, where I got my power fc fitted, they had like 1/2 dozen in a box from people that upgraded and didnt want them anymore - but that is in the west.

Sorry I cant be of more help

Hmm Daim, well i still think the problems in the loom. The reason why is if i take the ECU out of its mounting position, and place it at different angles, it works sometimes, like tonite, i was driving to town, at the petrol station i stopped at, i moved it into a different angle and it started to work for 10mins, then it went gay again. Also another really weird thing is if i press on the wiring loom at a certain postion about 2 cms from the center nut thing that holds it in, the engine dies. Like ill press it and instantaneously the engine will die just like turning it off.

Steve: Thanks matey, yeh this is gettin really annoying. Its strange how this has happened, and im betting its something really small. I cant see it being the ECU but i still have to make sure of it.

I dont know what else i can do.... Maybe i HAVE to take the car back to the auto elec :P

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
