Afm's Alternative

[MP_R33]

Hey all,

Got a bit of a dilemma.

My AFM's decided to give out on my R32 GTR and I am not sure what to replace them with. Is there a cheaper NEW alternative than going through Nissan for $850 each. There are Z32s but my car is completely standard and they are 80mm compared to the standard 65mm.

Do I just look at getting mine replaced with a second hand set or getting them repaired/cleaned.

Some advice would be great.

Thanks

There is a simple repair for the AFM's, its just a dry solder joint on the plug connection.

You can get a pair of nismo afm's for less than that, they have Z32 internals in stock housings.

On another note i have some afm's for sale from my BNR32 if you're keen.. shoot me a PM

if your car is stock stock dont get Z32s or Nismo's

it wont run as the car expects stock BNR32 AFMs

you should try to repair them or even a local elec repair place that does tv etc

it will just be a dry solder join on the connector or on the board

the vl commodore has the same problem when the plug dies

If u have a stock ecu etc tyen stay with stock afm's.

As above there is a diy repair on the afm's. Normally inside the black box part near the connector the solder joints dry out and crack causing non contact.

just in case you were somehow in doubt the best option is either get yours repaired or buy a pair of used standard ones. nismo ones would be the other option if you are planning more power down the track but they will not run with your standard ecu so you'd need to get an aftermarket ecu and a tune just to use them. so really a waste of time at this point. again just buy a used pair or get yours repaired.
