Hi,

I've still got some on going issues with my car. Basically what it does; it will run fine. Then you'll hear it drop down in rpm, almost like it's going to cut out but it doesn't. It will then pick up the rpm and sit on about 1100 or so; when running normal it will idle at 900.

If you rev it up, you'll get to 2,500 rpm; but it won't go any further than this. Will just bounce up and down 100 rpm or so and does not sound good, It's difficult to explain. Anyway I think it's the AFM's. I just replaced the Fuel Pump..this has no effect.

It seems definately like a fuel related or air flow problem.

I wanted to see if anyone has some working AFM's for an R33 GTR that I could borrow, before I go ahead and buy some after market ones.

If I do use aftermarket AFM's I would assume it needs to be tuned? Is this correct?

I've tried looking for standard AFM's; but can't find anywhere to buy them. Heard they are rediculously priced from Nissan.

Or if anyone has any ideas on this problem, feel free to post :)

Thanks,

mate try SSS Automotive or Just Jap in Sydney as they will most likely have some. they also appear in the for sale thread. original will be stupid $. by aftermarket do you mean Z32? if so you are right it'll need a retune but also changes to airbox etc if you're running one or at least pod adapters as Z32 is a different diameter.

they can be repaired in some cases, at times they suffer from dry joints. crack the top off the AFM by carefully cutting around the square cap which is secured with sealant and have a really close look at the pins that attach to the plug. it's obvious when you take the top off. sometimes you can't see the break so resolder them anyway. search the forced induction thread it's all there. it's worth a try some people have had good success but take it to an electronic repair place if you're not confident. there's also a place called PLMS in Adelaide - do a google search - that has repaired them previously.

After all, it was the AFM's. Who would have thought the first set I swapped would have been dodgy lol.

After getting some more AFM's from Sly, the problem is fixed.

Thanks, Sly. Appreciate the help.

I've driven the car to the coast yesterday and it's running absolutely perfect!

It seems like it's never run so good!

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
