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...

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
