anyone want to help out a fellow SAU'er??

have had this weird 'miss' that can only be felt at idle or low rpm. gets worse when the engine warms up and seems to be better when its a cold night.

its not:

- coils

- plugs

- fuel filter

- oxygen sensor

- aac valve

i was hoping that there was someone with a working rb20 AFM that would be able to let me come over and try their afm in my car to see if it fixes my problem?

i live in the St Lucia area

anyone out there willing to help?

cheers,

Warren.

Sounds like faulty coilpacks??

One basic diagnostic technique to use when the car is in its spastic mood and is missing is:

Remove the coilpacks one by one, and if nothing happens when you remove that particular coilpack, it means it is buggered.

as in original post, i have changed all 6 coils with working ones. even tried many combinations of the 12 coils that were available.

coils are not the problem...

weird thing is it gets worse as the car warms up which is not representative of coil pack failure

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
