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...

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
