Alright fellas, so, my car has been idling funny, missing and shutting down while idle etc. And it's come to my attention that its most likely the airflow meter.

Just wandering, will it make much, if any difference if i put an AFM suited for an rb25det, on an rb25de? im having a hard time finding an rb25de suited AFM on ebay.

Cheers.

I've heard green label, i checked mine and it was green label.

Also, today i tried unplugging it and running the car without one, but it ran like a piece of shit. basically ran the same as when it plays up, except when its connected it goes away for a while. (edit) just been informed this is due to limp mode.

Ill explain it so i can get a few more opinions;

When i start the car up cold is when it's at its worst, the idle will bounce up and down for a bit, sometimes sit at close to 2000rpm for a while, and i have to wait for the engine to heat up a bit before its driveable. if i try drive it before its warm, the car will stutter, and rev's behave as if they're hitting a limiter. if i idle and rev the car while its playing up, it will also behave as if it's hitting a limiter, at around 2500-3000 revs. recently its been quite hot and ive noticed the car has been able to drive straight away from a cold start, but in a cold climate it will play up.

The car will drive fine for a while once warm, and have the occasional miss and lose power for a bit, but it comes back. might do this a few times before back to normal. It hasnt been too bad recently in the hot weather. Also, when im idle, sometimes the engine will just die.

Thats all i can think of at the moment.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
