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...

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
