Hi all

I rang Nissan today, due to the fact that I have a faulty AFM on my R32, He said he'd get back to me.....

3hrs later he quoted me 1000.00 because they wont just sell the AFM to me.

Any thoughts?

you could get 2 z32s for a lot less than that...

Your getting your pants pulled down over the price..

Search the for sale sections. You can find them second at a FAAAR cheaper price.

Call up some Jap wreakers or Places that import half cuts. Or upgrade to Z32?

1 grand is rediculous

So $1000 for them to repair your afms? That sucks. I repaired mine a couple times and got jack of it breaking down so I bought a pair of genuine afms through nissan for $1100. Expensive, i know, but i didn't want to upgrade to z32 or buy second hand. Don't understand what they mean they wont sell them to you?

I guess they are 16 - 20 yo, so they don't really want to get rid of them?

were yours for r32's?

my cousin was also quoted a similar amount for an rb20 AFM about 1 year ago. very strange.

and no Greg you dont need a SAFC or anything like that to 'tune' an afm :|

you cant run a car with a standard ecu with z32 afm

Not sure if SAFC can be made to make it work, but your standard ecu will hate the z32

Nah man Nissan will rip you off big time, just get a (300ZX) Z32 AFM from any aftermarket place afew hundred dollars as some has said on here.

I don't think you will need a tune, but you can run it on a dyno just to make sure.

Ahh k Cool guys,

Least its not only me, that fixes my theories of being cursed :D

What about airflow meter elimination with an emanage ultimate (airflow map), anybody had a shot at that?

:) Thanks for all the info BTW

Do you mean running the car with no AFM?

If so I have seen a R33 GTR with a APexi Dejectro and there is no AFM's and also SAU member DSTROY has one and you can ask him about it.

I asked about it one time and from memory it came to the conclusion that it does the same thing as having AFM's.

Or rather there was not much of an advantage, as the APexi Dejectro was monitoring the Air Flows, insted of having AFM's.

But if your having trouble finding an AFM you could use the eManage Ultimate...

Yeah i did some research on it and found that i could drop the AFM, so i was sold on the Idea hahaha.

But i did want to know if it was reliable as a daily driver still after using the map, I.e. cold starts etc.

That and in the future i was thinking of a FMIC hence the i could get it tuned.

If you wanted to retain your AFM a better way to go about it would be to get a change over item through Injectronics, http://www.injectronics.com.au/.

They send you a new AFM and if it fixes the problem you send your old one back to them.

If it doesn't fix the problem you send the new AFM back.

New units come with a 24 month warrenty and cost about $300.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
