Help :p

[davidnsw]

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.

What car do you have?

[davidnsw]

m35 stagea , sorry should of mentioned that, vq25det maf, i believe they are very $$$$$ from nissan....

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.

yeh scotty, no water in there, i have hardly driven it in the rain I guess it was just its time to go bye bye

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?

[davidnsw]

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

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

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

[scotty nm35]

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.

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...

[YangLIU]

i always put an old genuine one in central box and another old genuine one in garage. very cheap to get 2nd hand genuine one, just for backup usage

[davidnsw]

well 2 weeks and its gone again... was a justjap one, in a bit of a bind now as i just totalled my other car >.< anyone know of any that aren't from Nissan in stock in Melbourne today or tomorrow?

much appreciated. if anyone can help pm me and i will get back to you straight away.

could the impul ECU have anything to do with blowing mafs?

[scotty nm35]

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.

[davidnsw]

Yeh i believe the first that went was the original one to. Then 2 replacements in 2 weeks. Dont build things like they used to lol

Just don't boot it Yang, they seem to let go at full throttle.

I lost my supplier unfortunately, and it took me a long time to find a decent one initially. I tested many AFM's before finding a decent supplier.
