definatly afm. get another one, or better yet, get a brand newy... there is one on ebay, brand new, $550, half of what you'd pay at nissan... or do what i did and get safc2 and a 300zx afm... brand new for $300 and the safc was $300...

the problem is... because its random, it has the potential to happen at the worst time... like overtaking or pulling out etc. and it will only get worse, it pays to get it fixed right, the first time. a second hand one could be on the way out aswell.

cheers

um.. why not pull it out and clean it first with electronic contact cleaner ($10 from disk smith)

if it still does it re-solder the units electrodes... search on here for "AFM+SOLDER" to see how it's done.

it will cost a fair bit less than $550 (like $530 less) and will get the exact same result.

Flux capacitor...

Bugger paying $550 for a new RB25 AFM when you can get the Z32 + loom plugs for like $200 - $300 if you look around. Then grab something like a PFC, or SAFC, and get it tuned. Then, it's all setup for future upgrades.

Definitely sounds like a sus sensor though, whether it be AFM or not.

Could be a bad TPS or CAS sensor or knock sensor also.

also i took the car for a drive today and everytime it hit boost it cut out like it didnt want to boost, so i assumed loose piping but after 15 minutes of driving it boosted fine???

hey julz, i got this problem too. does it still rev up fine on half throttle? when your boost gauge is on 0?

and when on boost it struggles like crap.. but the boost gauge is still full? i think this is rich and retard mode..

(this is my issue)

or does the boost fully cut and u get a big jerk.. coz that could be a fuel cut.

(this is not my issue)

anyway will be watchin for the answer.. some ppl say could be coolant temp sensor, afm, o2 sensor..

i think there's a diagnostic mode u can put your ECU in to check the sensors.. give that a go (google search the sky is the limit- the skyline book of something)

tells ya how to do it.

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