Hey Guys,

Recently the GTR has been runing really rough, this started happening when I was out of town (of course).

I have come back yesterday and with some proper help have found that my air flow meters have been playing up. I have had many stops on the freeway and the car stalling and only reving to 2500 rpm. And then all of a sudden all is ok. This problem is really starting to get on my nerves, and with some thinking with Verms have decided to see if there is anyone willing to help me by donating 2 working air flow meters for us to check if this is indeed the case as told by the stock ECU DTC.

To make matters worse I am leaving on posting to Melbourne on the weekend so all this is very urgent if I am going to be able to make it on time, if indeed at all.

I am also willing to buy a set off someone as if this is the case I will needed replacements.

Any help here will be very much appreciated, and im sure a dinner will be thrown in if you are willing to help me with coming down and helping (and lending the AFMs) as this is really important for me to meet this posting.

Thanks Guys

i dont have any afm's but have you tried cleaning them? they can get oiled up and wont send the correct signals.

Motoguard Electrical Contact Cleaner works well, $8 from autopro.

We found the code coming up with the airflow meters so first thing we did was clean them with contact cleaner.

Though that might have fixed the problem but its still doing it.

If anyone has a pair of them we could borrow to confirm that they are the problem.

When idling they read on the power fc hand controller around the 1000mV and when it started playing up dropped to 500mV.

I'll swing past on my way home today and grab them if possible!

Perhaps the boys at ESP can help. Glen has his red R32 GTR sitting in the display room.

Paul has some FS - $200 each with plugs and they were hardly used.

2 x AFM's (Z32)

Call them first and if that Fails then swing by mine on your way home.

You fcuk them - you buy me a new pair too

Im nearly 100% sure paul sold 1 so only 1 available.

I thought you werent running afm?

Im hoping someone has a pair thats they aren't currently using to make things easier.

If the possibility is there for alex to possibly buy them so he is able to get to melboure on the weekend to start course!

My AFM's are still on my GTR eventhough I'm not using them.

Saves me making up pipes and they're always there - just in case.

Plus if I get pulled over all looks as it should :thumbsup:

PS. If it is your AFM then I expect oonly 1 is failing. Hence 1000 to 500 ?

Keep the fuzz happy :P

All it needs to do is get me to Melbourne, so if its one or both that are stuffed I'm going to either find them or find away to drive it.

But any help is good help. I would even consider borrowing one and posting it back to anyone who is willing.

Thanks guys for all your help. One of the AFMs I got off Paul is faulty, but I have now found my good one and both are now working well. And it was nice to meet you too Paul, thanks for the tips for future upgrades for the GTR. Melbourne here I come!!!

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
