seejs Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Don't rely on that remedy too much as eventually it will probably just die on you, best bet is to just but a new afm and be very careful when installing it, making sure you don't knock it or anything like that. For me the afm took a couple of weeks of running in for it to get rid of all the shakes. I'm just going off what happened to me when my afm shit itself and now my car runs fine. So I hope that helped mate and good luck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454311-r34-gt-dying-need-help-asap/page/2/#findComment-7489228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiippy Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 How much roughly would i be looking at for a new one, i saw a few for around the $100 mark but just seems to cheap to me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454311-r34-gt-dying-need-help-asap/page/2/#findComment-7489248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinista32 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Could have been just a loose plug by the sounds of your remedy. Wait to see if it happens again before spending cash on new. No way will you get a new genuine AFM for $100 bucks. It's likely second hand for that price and could well be dodgey too. New would be sub $300 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454311-r34-gt-dying-need-help-asap/page/2/#findComment-7489254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seejs Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 They are all second hand as nissan don't make them anymore, I bought a second hand one that was re conditioned for about $100. Make sure you buy the right one as turbo models are different to n/a's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454311-r34-gt-dying-need-help-asap/page/2/#findComment-7489301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seejs Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Best to buy from someone who has a shop and actually knows your situation as they can easily be broken and also need to be quite specific to your model car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454311-r34-gt-dying-need-help-asap/page/2/#findComment-7489303 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErOR Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) If you still have the old AFM, take the cover off it on the side (the black square thing) and check the solder joints where the plug contacts meet the afm contacts. Mine has done this few months and and it's a 5min fix as the solder joints dried up. If that's the case, take the plug out, clean everything and then re-solder the contacts, pop it back in and drive for a day or two to make it's all good. Than way you have a spare afm and have learned something in the process.

Don't worry about it, people don't listen, people would rather spend $380 than follow a diy that would take them 30 minutes and $30 on an iron and solder. It's such an easy fix for such a common problem. I just don't understand.
