Just a warning. If you have your Airbox open at the front and/or a power duct installed. Close it up in wet weather as a single drop in the right place will fry the AFM. I have had mine just go and read countless other stories. Make sense now I think about it. Would just like to save others potential wasted money.

Shit that sucks.....pretty sure a late model X-trail one will work if your searching. I have to say though I have had my power duct for over nearly three years now and haven't had a problem.

My only problem with the AFM is it is reading up to 4.97% because of the tune!!!!

I told you that 9 months ago Craig.:P

I have had the Powah duct for a year with no issue but I can see why it would happen. What filter were you using? I have an oiled k+n, perhaps the oil traps the water better?

At 4.9v you get thrown through the windscreen. :bunny:

lol... tell me about it.

Have had my powerduct on for a while now and have driven through some pretty damn serious downpours (95mm in 3 hours for example).

No issues.

Which filter are you using Matt?

I have to agree with Cam on this one, I've done lots of driving in heavy rain since I put the Power Duct on and have had no issues resulting from this.

The car also sits outside in the heavy rain, no problems starting it or driving it.

As I was commuting over an hour each way to work for several months, 70 - 110km/h in pouring rain and no issues.

Surely this is isolated or caused by something else?

I'm running a K&N panel filter. I've closed my box up until the rain stops. There are guys in the US running Pod filters on there V35 and g35's in winter and going through 3-4 AFM's a year....lol I'm sure the std filter would do a better job at keeping the moisture out.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
