The Nissan replacement AFM's are not lasting long at all, and they refuse to warrant them. I have some aftermarket ones coming in the next week or so, they tested out fine so I am ordering a bulk shipment. Hopefully they will work out at around $65 each. A few of the M35 guys are using them without issue now. Let me know if you want one as I am sure they will disappear fast.

I thought they would go quick. :P

Unfortunately I doubt the manufacturer will warrant these either, so I can't offer one myself for now. If they seem reliable after this batch I will add a little to the price and offer some kind of warranty with them perhaps. Not that it matters, Nissan won't warrant their $330 ones either.

Put me down for one when you get them Scotty.

I'll be keeping one as a spare; that way it'll never fail again. :whistling:

Spot on. Its like washing your car to make it rain. Works every time.

Throw my name on to the list for one of your new fandangled AFM's Scotty, I've killed 2 or 3 OEMs one myself to date.

Mate, I figure the status quo remains; if Nissan won't warrant them, and they are failing randomly, you shouldn't be expected to anything more.

I'd rather have no warranty on a $65 part, than no warranty on a $330 part.

At $65; it's a consumable as far as I'm concerned. A bit like oil or a filter.

What information do you want to know? They blow when you boot them, very hard to hang out of the bonnet at 100k's an hour. :P

I have a theory, the Chinese are spitting in each Nissan AFM as it rolls off the production line. I think they are still pissed over that island dispute...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
