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

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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
