We don't get offended since we have been making more power for so long that we are genuinely happy every time you guys crack a little more power than stock...... :P

AFM = Air Flow Meter

MAF = Mass Air Flow

AFM = MAF

..ahem..a little more power? i think scotty and jetwreck have both achieved a bit more than a little :)

I'm surprised no-one has bitten on this comment, as I run into all the time I'll end my rant now :/

lol.....I did write a couple of responses.....but there is no real come back.

Your right....heaps of parts straight off the shelf to build a decent tractor motor....sorry RB.....hey after 20-30 years of the motor being on the market getting 270 AWKW's reliably out of one of them without cracking the motor open and with the same turbo housings should be easy aye!

lol.....how did we get here from AFM :/

Yeah, but isn't that almost what Scotty is doing anyway?

Funny thing but AWKW and RWKW readings are almost always identical unless there is wheel spin. Sure people add 10kw or so to their figures but I take that with a grain of salt...in fact all dyno numbers as well.

The R33 is in RWKW cos it only has one diff and doesn't struggle for traction (in a straight line at least). Obviously the stagea was missing its front driveshaft for the dyno runs. It grips up fine with it back in.

some of the C34 guys get a little confused.....I give you a heads up as they don't quite get it :( ......our car is 98% different to the C34! So when you hear the line "Well on my C34......" more than likely they are completely wrong with the assessment!

Sorry in advance if I have offended any C34 owners :P

98% different hey?

I was going to say: "Well on my SR20......" I was right anyway, despite the fact that I own a 4 cylinder. BAHAHhahahaha.

AND it still ended up being the AFM!

:D what error code comes up and how do you get it with your SR20!

here's one for you.....the C34 has a shit load more in common with a R33, R34 yes?....or would you say the C34 has a lot more in common with a 350Z!

and congrats on the diagnosis........your a rocket scientist aye! :)

I've got the factory MIL light on the SR20 fitted to the 1600. Never use it though.

I just plug in the nistune software and it tells me the fault codes. Pretty easy and highly recommended.

C34 has a motor in the front and so does the M35. Both are made by Nissan. Both have an AFM and by the sounds of it, have a limp home mode. That's enough commonality for me :bunny:

Rocket Scientist? Nah, just willing to help a nissan brother out...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
