Yes, the Nissan replacement ones are shite, grab an aftermarket one as I don't sell them anymore.

Thanks man, just thinking is it ok to get aftermarket one which could directly replace the OEM one? It looks same as OEM one but is it more stronger??

Even if it is the same life they are about 1/4 the price and work fine.

That's true mate. But I want to know if they are stronger than OEM one. I found some AFM on eBay approx $60, but no idea about the quality. Actually I could get cheap 2nd hand OEM one from Japan. So if they is no difference between eBay aftermarket AFM and OEM AFM, I would like to grab OEM one. Any suggestion??

Why buy a second hand one? Search the forum and you will see they are terribly unreliable. As scotty said just buy the new after market ones. No they probably aren't any better, but they are newer and will have more chance of lasting then a crappy second hand one

just got brand new aftermarket 5PIN AFM from ebay. then I did throttle relearn. now the idle rev is 650-700rpm, AFM voltage is about 1.35v-1.37v at idle.

some question here:

1. I feel the car is harder to start engine compare with OEM AFM, whatever the car is cold or warm

2. there is long delay when rev up from idle. it means when you press acc pedal from idle, the OEM boost gauge will go up to about 0PSI first, then rev will go up. also this feeling is compared with OEM AFM.

any suggestion? thanks guys.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
