Your right Scotty , I checked the sock but I don't have a check engine light on.I ran a manual MIL check and ended up with 10 slow flashes followed by 3 sets of quick 10 flashes.The car does start but idles good for 3 seconds than idles roughly for a little while than stops.The throttle butterfly is operating.What does AFM stand for and where is it.

Thanks

Bertt

I unplugged the AFM and the car now revs but a little rough so I am about to order a new Bosch one for $80 dollars but why wasn't the engine light on,

Scotty can supply you an AFM at a better price then that. Pm him.

Because the AFM was still outputting a signal, and the ecu though it was fine. They don't all blow in the same way, some fail and you need to unplug them to drive, others you can drive home without unplugging. Most throw the MIL though.

Contact me if you have any dramas, the replacement Nissan AFM's are crap and don't last long. Hopefully the one you got is from somewhere else.

Scotty I tried to PM you but the message is blocked.It looks like my supplier for the AFM cant supply for 3 weeks because of Chinese new year so I was wondering if you can supply me with a AFM.

    • 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. 🤣
