I wonder if the v35 or r35 afm may be an upgrade, do they have have a longer lifespan?

I haven't heard of the same issues on the forums from Z owners. However the characteristics of the AFM are most likely quite different, and we have no way of tuning the AFM table. Does emanage have AFM table adjustment, or just switch over points?

So were stuck giving the same old advice - if you have a oiled filter (K&N) get rid of it for a dry, clean the AFM in contact/afm cleaner overnight and it might come good, and look for shorts in the wiring to the loom that could cause a short and fry the unit.

What component/s are in there? Probably a diode & resistor, lol.

If someone wants to post me a broken AFM, I'll try to work out if a 'field refurbishing' kit is possible. The components might only cost $2...

I've never had mine go faulty, & I've had it in/out dozens of times when playing intakes. There is something weird going on for those guys who have broken multiple AFMs.

Agree 100%

I've had Rudis car logged, and there was nothing in diagnostics logged, and nothing dodgy going on with the voltage output through the test. It may be a suspect pin or solder within the ECU, or even bad earthing from somewhere. I dunno :down:

If replacing the afm fixes the problem then I guess the afm's are faulty. As far as I know there is no repairing them, I have tried and failed. Grab one of these guy's old ones and have a crack if you like Leon but they are more complex than you think.

Like I said, the best option would be to replace it with a more reliable unit, yes the emanage ultimate does have various maps for z32 afm's etc I believe...

So that pic is our standard AFM pulled down? Didn't know it had circuitry inside, lol. I thought all the smarts were done at the ECU end.

Pretty sure I still have my old one if you want to tinker Leon. Let me know and I'll post it up.

Yeah, send it up Ryan & I'll have a look. The problem could be simple, or not, but it's worth another go at it for the sake of the poor buggers having continual problems. And Scotty, you don't use your welder to fix these :P

I used to do component level electronic repair but this is out of my league, it is potted in a soft silicone and makes getting to the board difficult without damaging it. It is definitely not designed to be repaired, only a couple of components can be de-soldered anyway.

The circuitry would smooth the signal and probably adjust the airflow voltage dependant on temp and perhaps air pressure. It would make manufacturing the ecu and tuning easier.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
