Hey all, Im having trouble with my airflow meter on my rb20det r32. Im pretty sure its the plug that if faulty, does anyone know where to get another one? can you even cut and reconnect these wires? when i drive the car, it randomly runns really rough and idles around 1,500, you cant drive it because its really jumpy, and then the revs bounce up and down after putting it in nuetural. Playing with the wires of the airflow it fixes itself...drive another 500m up the road and it does it again. Iv cleaned it 5 times within 2 days with MAF airflow Cleaner. Spraying the plug with WD40, RP7, CRC, it last a lot bigger drive then if i dont spray it.

what series is it?

if its a 3 prong one...

i got a plug off a N15 or N14 uplsar from the TPS???? i think thats what it was off, it was brown. if you find an N16 pulsar they have a plug that goes to the coilpack that is exactly the same as the 3 prong plug on a skyline afm.

it wasnt a perfect fit, but you just modify your afm plug bit ever so slightly and bam, new plug fits.

im pretty sure r32 and r33 afm are the same (i did it to my r33)

you then solder/clamp the wires to match, make sure u look up the wiring, or pm me and i can help you out.

however if it is a 4 prong one i havnt looked for a plug to suit

Thanks, I will try this tonight. :action-smiley-069:

thanks for the replies

if the soldering dosent work, its probably the plug, especially if it looks ratty, when my afm was playing up, i replaced the actual plug going to it, i didnt touch inside it.

i think i wll try that first. everytime i play with the plug it stops, so im pretty sure its the pllug. where did you get your plug from? and it fixed your ploblem? well my airflow meter hadnt been used in ages because i had a greddy emanage ulitmate in it which had a MAFless tone, (no airflow meter)

what stops? the car?!

lol. sorry, when im driving along and it starts to run really rough, i pull over and stop. its idleing at about 1500 and then starts to bounce up and down between 1000, 1500. pop the bonnet while the car is still running like crap and play with the plug of the airflow meter and it runs fine again...for a little while.

sounds like the afm, could be touchy ground wire? do both techniques, no harm can come of it

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
