Calling My Fellow Skyliners From The Western Surburbs!


Recommended Posts

Hey mate,

I wouldn't post this up if I knew how to fix it... I know it's simple but really need some guidance...

Is there anyone from the Western suburbs that is willing to spend like 1-2 hours with me to help me fix this issue?

It'll be a good opportunity for a few people to catch up and then we go for some lunch this weekend or the next?

My just keepings stalling, and I think it's the AFM... please help... perhaps meet at my place, talk about our cars, fix my AFM issue then go to lunch which of course is my asking?

Explain the symptoms a bit more, and people on here will be able to help pinpoint exactly whats causing the issue :)

Thanks for your willingness to help mate.

Here is the issue more in details...

I am very keen to get this fixed as my Wife is going to use my car for work and if it does not get fixed... then it will be very hard for her taht's why I am very keen...

Thanks all!

u got pm. btw if it keeos stalling, do u have an atmo bov by chance? this could also be an issue

Hi mate, I've always had a HKS SSQ on my car - never had an issue until recently!!

I am betting on the AFM...

I got your PM - many thanks mate... if you could help it would be super!

Is it spluttering/cutting out then stalling?

Here is the first step: Get a can of CO contact cleaner, any repco has it, ask for it by name! When the car is dead cold(if the afm is hot it could f**k up), remove AFM, spray with CO contact cleaner, make sure it gets a good clean, alcohol based, dont touch the hot wire with any instruments, it will dry! Refit AFM, check all piping, and inlet piping, if symptoms persist which i doubt they will, refit standard BOV.

Check all wiring, especially earths. I honestly would take it too a mechanic.

The money you spend changing shit around could be spent getting it done right.

Thanks for your kind words, Ryan - you're right... I have spent thousands on mods... I guess 1 more on a good service plus to fix my car won't hurt... but I would like to exhaust all avenues first before I bring it to a mechanic... what you said is good and informative... but I think I'll just make it worst if I tried...

I'll keep everyone post on what I think will happen.

Clean before buying another... no point spending money on it if it aint broke.

Thanks bro, yeah... a mate from this forum is going to help me clean my AFM and get it resoldered... if it still occurs then, then gotta buy a new one.... but thanks so much mate!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
