Don't forget the filament inside the AFM.

You'll need to remove it from the intake and physically spray the heating filament/element of the AFM until its clean of all oil/dirt/dust.

Cleaning this will be more important than just the contacts on the plug.

Should your AFM have no mesh on the ends (unlikely), try not to physically touch the filament bit.

I gots a strange feeling your economy will jump 100ks or more with just AFM cleaning and new O2 :)

So I'll have to clean that with the contact cleaner as well? I know its got mesh at one end, not sure about the other.

I will be very happy if it does haha

Yeah...electrical contact cleaner on the filament/element as well.

Do not use carby cleaner. While this works good, it leaves a residue*** and you will be back to square one LOL

***subject to debate. some say it does, some say its all good but why risk it when for $13 a can at repco this week, you can get electrical contact cleaner :P

May I also suggest new spark plugs...your current ones should all be sooty from the over fueling. Best to do all in one hit so wait for your O2 to arrive.

Lastly, wet weather = car stays safely in the garage ;)

Went to work myself.

The show's over-rated and very expensive nowadays to get in...unless you love dagwood dogs and $10 cans of coke.

True, I haven't been to the show since I was in grade 3/4 and no real desire to. Work public holiday and get a free day off in July for the Nissan time attack day at QR= WINNING

  • 2 weeks later...

Details for Sunday please :)

Not sure as of yet but would like to know anyways.

Wife says as long as we don't get up to anything stupid, I should be OK to go if nothing comes up..... :unsure:

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
