nah im out all weekend and baby shower on sunday so yer ill be at my olds though i was playing around with my AFM my mate said that he heard that S1 AFM can unsolder on the plug dunno how true this is as i see no phsyical difference apart from a colored sticker from S1 and S2 afm Mine is green s2 is pink.

Now started my car and it died would crank over unplugged AFM started ran for at least 5 mins on a bumpy idlebut mostly above 500rpm i also gave it a rev np it wouldnt make boost and alsi seemed like it cut at about 2000-2500rpm this is from engine bay cable rev now i turn it off i gave my AFm a clean again let it dry plugged it back in started it as soon as i reved it it just died and also didnt seem like it was making boost (also led me to think a cooler pipe had split or blown off) but on a switch off then back on again i had boost this is all while AFM was plugged in then it died...unplugged my AFM started it idled without dieing for at least another 5 mins gave it a few hand revs and it still didnt die until i turned it off....So im thinking this problem is AFm isolated OR the plug or AFM loom.

i seen on ebay S2 AFM Pink and orange sticker for like $80 should i invest in one of these will they work on my S1 looks like some come with a brand new plug aswell.

Ok pulled the AFM apart i noticed that the plugs wasnt so tight in but more on one side then the other so after getting the plug off i filed all the prongs on the board and the plug to clean them up and got all the old solder off i then resoldered the prongs back on then tested with a multimeter to make sure power was running through it all four prongs were conducting nicely so i pluggged it back in started the car 1st start run np alil jumpy on idle but could be semi fouled plugs nothing major and did not stall at all seems all good so i put the top plastic lid back on siliconed it around the edges gave the inside of the AFM a generous blasting of Contact cleaner and its sitting in my garage ready to go back on tomorrow with the Pod filter lets hope my problem is solved.

just installed it all back in my car started it ran did do the bouncing idle but hasnt stalled yet after about a 8min idle plugs could be dirty so il change them next.

Just to let you all know my problem is now fixed cleaned the AFM with CC and also resoldered the plug inside onto the board and resiliconed it on the top so far so good.

Just for others reading this thread, it should be noted that some contact cleaners contain a very small amount of lube, while proper Air Flow Meter cleaner does not, you really need to avoid using the lubricated cleansers.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
