So of course my stagea has to give me the shits while my other car is getting work done >.<

driving home today stopped at a light and when i took off again the car went about 10m then lost all revs so i pulled over, i have gathered its gone into limp mode and narrowed it down to a dead MAF!

The big question does anyone know where i can get a replacement in the northern suburbs melbourne? any help greatly appreciated.

Hey Dave.

Open up the top with a knife first and check the soldier on the pins. Will be a lot cheaper than buying a new one. New ones are roughly $100 from memory. Or try your local tuner for a known working one.

I used to sell them but ran out of stock. Try the part number in Ebay, there are heaps of aftermarket ones available that won't bugger up like the Nissan ones commonly do.

I am trying to find the reason the AFM faults, it's likely caused by low voltage I suspect. Have you popped the bung out of the battery compartment by any chance? That's where I would start. The large 2 inch bung gets blocked flooding the relay box causing all sorts of issues. Not sure if the AFM is related to this as yet, but it looks like it may be, at least you will have fixed a source of many other electrically related failures.

What's your factory part number? It may well fit but they don't know so they say it doesn't to cover themselves.

Here's another one I found - does the factory number it quotes match yours?

Maybe the high voltage? I saw the voltage reach over 5v if run in height boost.

the part number on the one i linked matches but that trademe one is different. I found one on ebay just before that someone else used in an m35 so ordered it :) hopefully it works

I bought 2 from eBay but all shit! One is dead after ran 10km. another one is still alive but the voltage is not same as stock one...so I can't use it. Finally I bought genuine one from Nissan with bloody price...so far so good for about 1000km

Sorry to hear Yang, it did take me a while to find a suitable supplier for the aftermarket AFM's I used to sell. Amayama would have been a better option for genuine, but the shipping times from UAE aren't as good as the local Nissan dealership.

Maybe the high voltage? I saw the voltage reach over 5v if run in height boost.

You are looking at the output voltage, not the input which is 12v. The AFM's have a processor inside which would likely fault if the voltage dropped too much, and the water in the battery compartment would be the obvious cause. A lot of us have had AFM's fail after or during rain too. Not saying it's definitely the cause of AFM issues, but it most certainly creates many other electrical issues. Pop that bung out before it leaves you stranded, it serves no purpose other than to keep dust out of there.

Mines been playing up and im about to grab a new one. If after genuine amayama have australian stock 22680-6n21a for $110 + postage.. if you look up the original number the price is 5x that for some reason.. the replacement number above looks to have been used by people on here with sucess by searching the forum. if in more of a rush justjap have genuine stock for a few dollars more but still cheaper than half of the ones on fleabay...

Not really, the new Nissan PN just fails constantly, some of my customers went through 7 or more before fitting my aftermarket ones. Mine were lasting fine.

The original PN works very well, 15 years nearly in my case.

      Nah. I reckon that that is the HICAS CU. Just the large plug, PS specific and other I/O. I can't see that there'd be a need/want for the (non-HICAS) PS CU to be watching any of those inputs other than the speed sensor.

      Is there coolant flow to (through) the IACV?

      98 ER34 GTT idle races, if AAC is unplugged, then idles perfect

      By JC71 · Posted

      I replaced the entire IACV assembly with new unit from Nissan, idle acts the exact same, starts and runs with idle rock solid at 900, as soon as I plug in the solenoid from the new IACV the idle races up to 1400, even with idle adjustment on side back of intake manifold maxed out for lowest idle still way too high around 1200.  Again if I unplug the IACV, turn idle screw to about half and it runs fine at around 900. thinking about just leaving it unplugged, do not ever plan to drive it when its cold, and always stored in climate control garage, just sucks to spend 500 dollars and have no change, could have left the original at this point. any other thoughts as to what it could be? maybe not even worth pursuing? that is if cold start idle aid was the only reason for Nissan to have this part anyway. tried AC and other loads and it never seemed to push idle below stall.

      I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.

      Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.
