I just wanted to let everyone know that I am now back terrorising the roads again. Thanks to boostn32 who sold me a sweet AFM.

I hate when she doesn't run right. Now it does so I'm happy again.

ok I'm over it now.

.....

..........

yep definately over it.

R32 GTST. I just rebuilt the motor after cooking it on the highway. It sat for a while while I saved the money to do the job. I did forged rebuild and everything had everything done properly except the turbo I left, the oil pump and the clutch pressure plate(new clutch plate though). So far....the turbo fried the bearings coz of the burnt oil that had been sitting on them for 4 months, the pressure plate is giving way, the oil pump is not holding pressure (probably the release valve). I just forked out for the AFM and it looks like there may be a problem with the coil packs as well.

This is turning into a nightmare.

I guess I'll know the extent of my worries when I pull the oil pump off tomorrow night.

I think what you actually want to use is "Circuit Board Cleaner"

Contact cleaner leaves a residue behind designed to lubricate the slides etc of a contactor. This lube is non conductive and oily, not something you want covering your hotwire afm?

Electronic circuit board cleaner is the gear to use, doesnt leave a residue and doesnt harm the AFM itself.

sounds like some issues still yet to fix :P

/hijack thread  

where can i get a AFM for my 33 GTS - think it needs replaceing - or someone said spray some contactor cleaning into the sensor while the car is running to clean it?

/end hijack

:D

Send pm if you need a replacment one.

Steve

ps sorry for hijacking

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
