After complete turned car on as normal... idled fine... although as went to rev, it spluttered and acted as though it wanted to die.

I had to replace my AFM as mine stopped working (suspect due to using an oil-type pod filter). I ended up sourcing a 2nd hand replacement off someone wrecking their car on the forums - For reference it's the same AFM on NA as Turbo.

Cheers

id have to disagree. the NA and turbo AFMS are deffinitely different. GTST computers dont like NA AFMs, and likewise. different part numbers

  • 3 weeks later...

I have an AFM from my r33 gts4 n/a if you want it.

It has the pink label on it and was working fine when I took it off.

I thought something was wrong with it so I bought a new one, turns out it was fine the whole time. Massive waste of money on my part... but I was planning to change it anyway as a maintenance thing.

If you want it pm me :-)

Just a question, what filter are you running?

When you cleaned it did you put too much oil on it? or are you running one of the dry apexi filters?

Apparently if there is too much excess oil on the filter it gets stuck to the metal prongs in the airflow and will cause the airflowmeter to give a faulty reading.

The other thing is to clean your throttle body as it can get dirty and cause the rough idle etc, you'll be suprised at all the junk in there especially if you're running an aftermarket filter without a box.

I'm not a mechanic, these are just some of the things I have discovered since owning my r33. I work for toyota and a few of our mechanics own skylines (traitors I know haha) so that's who I grab all my info from... they haven't led me astray yet :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
