Got my Scotty's Customs AFM in the post this morning, it'll be finding itself a home in my glove box along with a a small star pattern screw driver :cheers:

Same here Dunc, hopefully we'll never need 'em. ;)

Blew my 2nd genuine Nissan AFM in 6 months yesterday. WTF is wrong with the new Nissan AFM's?

Now I have the one from Scotty on the car. We'll see how long it lasts and the differences.

Scott, you got anymore? need to carry one spare.

Yes mate, I ordered another batch, come and grab one.

The Nissan ones aren't suitable for our car for some reason. (Not that Nissan will tell you they keep blowing...)

Will squeeze in time over the weekend to grab one of you.

Just a query, how long have people been running the AFM from Scotty in their cars so far?

Any failures?

Some of the guys have been running these aftermarket AFM's for years, they are obviously more robust than what Nissan offer (for some reason.) They look like they all come from the same factory, same markings etc.

I have had one return so far, the car was running a little rich on boost and swapping the AFM fixed it. Perhaps I should send that AFM up to craig, it may help his current engine last longer. :P

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
