Reply from Ebay seller:

10+ for $75 each

20+ for $70 each
30+ for $65 each
That price includes postage to one address only. Someone would have to repackage / post to everyone else, so maybe an extra $3-$4e.
Scotty, see how you go with your hunt in China. I'll make some enquiries as well. I think a better price is out there.

So similar thing happened to me today in my NM35. I was driving the car to my old mans place, started fine and ran fine. Pulled up to the service station to fill up with fuel. Got back in the car (

A better price is definitely out there, just not sure on minimum quantities and quality yet. ;)

Correct Scotty.

We can do better than that.

Lets test them first and make sure they last longer than 3 months. Delivery is expected Monday.

IMO, the best way is to bulk buy from China as prices are so cheap. You don't worry about warranty, just carry a spare. Some I saw "guarantee" theirs for 12 months or 50,000km, lol. But why would you send it back when they cost so little? I'd look at it as disposable like an air filter, lol.

Anyway Scotty & ChrisB look like that's what they're doing, so hold tight till they report back success :)

At last my Stag is back on the road and I kid you not it feels a lot more responsive and grunty then before???.

What I ended up doing is installed a very good second hand one that came of 2003 rs250 from wrecker.

I placed and then cancelled at last minute order from Nissan @$318 for the sensor where second hand set me back $150 after negotiating.

So now who knows how long will this last? and yes from me for couple of sensors for glovebox stock once we decide with which one to get.

Thanks again everyne for input.

Dave

PS. The reason I was going to get one from nissan and not ebay is delivery next day ex Melbourne,

I have spoken to a mate today after telling him to return the faulty Nissan AFM's. He returned two with receipts and was told unless he told them the ODO k's at purchase, they weren't covered with their 12 month 20,000 k warranty. It would need to be installed by a licenced mechanic too, even better the Nissan service centre, that way they can sting you $200 more to clear the code. Great service by Nissan...

Anyway, nothing will make me happier than to put a stop to their thieving ways by undercutting their best seller. ;)

Has anyone installed experimented with fitting new ecu to eleminate the need for air flow sensor or that is not possible with m35 like with skylines?

How deep are your pockets?

Anything is possible if you're prepared to spend enough cash.

Your mate is ignorant of his rights if he believes what Nissan is telling him.

Considering he is the Nissan service mech at the dealership in question I assume he doesn't want to make too many waves. He is definitely ready to sell the car though, as the new afm he bought today lasted 20 minutes.

I am running with a blown AFM at the moment, as I lent it to another owner while he got a replacement. My Fcon Vpro runs off the HKS map sensor so the afm isn't required, but the engine light pops up still. I want a reliable solution for myself too.

Scotty, why don't you get a good electrician to tear one down and see what exactly fails. My old uprev one was a remanufactured OEM. I don't know if the s1 are as easy to get apart, but might be worth a go to see if you can learn to repair.

Sorry, I don't understand the relevance of this. I have a very basic understanding of circuit boards and electrics!

Care to explain?

The board is tiny; like 10mm square.

Any one fixing that is gonna have exceptionally good skills and bloody good eyes.

^ yeah, what Dale said.

That pic was taken from a manufacturers' website & isn't neccesarily what ours looks like; it's a representation only. In any case, I don't think many people have the tools & skills to fault find & repair SMD circuits. 'Through-hole' circuit boards & components are the sort most lay-people work on (think Jaycar kits), but those would make our AFM 5 times as big.

I did electronic repair to component level for years, they are not repairable.

The AFM that lasted 20 minutes was from Nissan, 21A P/N. He has since modified an N15 Pulsar 4 pin AFM (no intake temp sensor) and soldered the thermistor directly to the loom, then stuck it into the airbox. Works great and should last.

You'll be right mate. Late comers get all the benefit of others' experience.

Even though some have had problems with (multiple) AFMs, many have had none. Plus any day now I'm sure there will be a cheap solution if you do have issues.

Post up some pics when you get your new car :thumbsup:

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
