Finally found time to get on here. Work has been a bitch lately and just no time for fun stuff like cars and forums.

Car is sitting in the back yard, where it hasn't moved in at least 2 weeks or so. Battery on charge. When it's got power again I'll put it in and try and get it running on F-con. Hate driving it on the stock ECU now, uses 2-3L/100 more fuel and just doesn't feel as strong.

Now that the boost spiking appears to be fixed and I've got the Scotty actuator in, it should be ready for a retune. See if it can do any more on 17PSI, rather than about 188kW @ 7PSI last time :/

If I can't get the throttle fixed soon myself it'll be going back to the tuners for them to fix it - after all, they said they had F-con experience, should be able to get it working. I have some setup info from elsewhere that might help too. It's tuned on AFM and I really think it needs to be on MAP to work properly the way everything is setup and wired.

Anything else exciting going on in here? Alex has a 180, Spoolin's Stag has a new owner (what did he buy?) and Aaron is getting ready to buy a new Stag?

Craig has his car in bits. He has vowed to beat the Mexican 12.9 1/4 time.

Several have blown up AFMs. They are fast becoming the "RB25 coilpacks" of the NM35. Maybe someone should try a 350z unit, and run it up on dyno to see if the scaling is useable?

Spoolin has had a Golf R for a little while now. NFI about Aaron, saw he was selling the Emo today. Probably will buy something with VTEC to be more flatcapper.

350Z has same connector etc? If you get it cheap of Amaya (or whatever it is) almost be worth taking the punt.

Golf R would be fun. Big fan of the Golf.

Aaron will buy another Stagea. Unless the bastard is getting a new A45 AMG.

How's the 180 going? I have seen no updates in too long.

Connector is different, but it would just be a case of figuring out the wiring and chop/connect. Think its the same amount of Pins. I think Craig might have a VQ35de harness with plug hanging around. Take someone with balls to do it! You'd have to run it up, and see if the scaling of the AFM is similar, and the AFRs are safe. NM35s may well have a higher reading AFM from factory, and it will be incompatible. I dunno. Just thinking out loud.

Doing a bit of stuff to the 180...... :)

I'm not sure it's an airflow thing that's killing AFM's; mine pegged it a few weeks ago, and all I did was change lanes and give a little accelerator (barely 40%) and it just rolled to a stop. Mine has never hit airflow cut.

I did get yelled at by a guy in an XF falcon though; so that was fun.

For the $110 delivered that a new one cost, after 120,00km; I think it did ok. The only real issue was having to wait for it to arrive; I should've bought 2 then the next person could've had one sooner.

I agree, they seem to max out at around the same power so the sensor may be similar. Even the 35 GTR one may work.

Or you could just piss it off and go MAP sensor... :P

There's a bit of a thread about using the 35 GTR ones in the Forced Induction thread isn't there?

Guys using them on SR's and RB's; although I thought it was less about resolution, and more about availability than anything.

Because of the inability to scale it, it would be a trial and see what works best I think.

You can use anything if you can scale it using tuning software. Unfortunatly, that's not an option for nm35s.

I'm not sure it's an airflow thing that's killing AFM's; mine pegged it a few weeks ago, and all I did was change lanes and give a little accelerator (barely 40%) and it just rolled to a stop.

Mine died starting the car this week. I didnt have the luxury of sitting around waiting to get my car back on the road so I had to pick one up locally. Problem sorted now though... Might go and buy a 2nd one as a stand by at this rate.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
