Yeah okay interesting. Well update this thread if any other issues arise. Hopefully it's fixed though.

I’d love to say yes, but I have another issue where its losing power and then kicks back in, am trying another afm and seeing how it goes. :)

That's the issue I'm trying to chase which is why I posted in this topic to begin with. It's an S2 R33 RB25DET that is cutting out and coming back and then cutting out again, stalling etc. Sometimes is okay for a day, then it will be bad the next day and won't even drive 100m.

We've tried AFM already with a refurbished one. I thought it had to be this but it still has the problem. I'm not sure how much I trust the refurbished units so I've sourced another AFM which is apparently a good one but not refurbished so we'll see how that goes.

It could be so many different things. >_<

I’ll send you some pics where it is. I also had my mechanic do some tests and it didn’t get pressure at all, I’ll ask him what tests and crap he did. Also I was reading on another thread on here that some people have dyno’d there car to check fuel to air ratio and have found the problem to be fuel pump. I’ll link ya to it, also has a bunch of things you can try

Sorry I know where the regulator is, I shouldn't have asked that haha. So you think your factory one was faulty and that caused to pump to fail, or at least you hope that is what the problem is?

When the fuel pump in my 32 was nearing the end of it's life I also discovered that on a dyno, however there were never any signs of it failing.

All good man, hahah, I believe the mechanics told me before I got my regulator replaced that my fuel pump was fine and it was working, but I dunno as it’s showing signs that I’ve read about when it’s either dying or dead, so am going to replace that next week. Replaced afm tonight and took it out for a spin, felt more responsive and held revs a lot better, however I start my car 6:40 in the morning so will have to test that on the weekend to see if it’s made a difference, will let you know

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
