any one know what a brand new air flow meter is worth for a r33 gts-t at all. my sons r33 was running like crap so we cleaned the afr for very little difference .so then we took the afm off my r33 and bolted it onto his car and farken hell what a difference it made so much smoother and goes like a cat with deep heat on its nuts plus his car has been using so much fuel its not funny so im hoping the afm was the cause of that as well . really dont want to put a second hand one back on his car just in case it is half buggered as well but have no idea what a new one is worth ? anyone know and would you have to buy a geniune one from nissan or can you get after market ones?

cheers midlife crisis

I recently had the same problem mate. My afm was screwed when I bought the car. I got it reconditioned for $350. Took a while for them to get the specs right but when they did it really cracked. I have heard new afm's costing from about $700-$950 brand new! If you can try and find a decent second hand one or get it reconditioned like mine. New ones are pretty rare and expensive.

gee i didnt think they would be that expensive might have to go the secong hand way . as for the ecu its just standed car just has a cat back exaust and a pod filter . he is not really chasing power as it goes pretty hard as it is just wants it to run clean , lol i dont hold much hope of getting my afm back of him now :-(

If you can use a soldering iron why don't you have a go at repairing your old one?

I did mine a couple of weeks ago and it transformed the car.

No more black smoke, it no longer stalls or hiccups and I get another 100km a tank.

You just cut through the outside edge of the sealant around the cover panel and carefully pry it off.

Unsolder the metal shield on top of the circuit board.

It's best to remove the solder with some desoldering wick.

The problem with mine was where the socket pins are soldered to the circuit board the solder had cracked.

Probably from someone wriggling the plug to remove it.

Just heat where the pins cross with the tip of an iron to melt the solder and add a bit or fresh resin-cored solder to each joint.

I also did a blanket resolder of the whole board, while I had it apart, just to be sure there were no dry joints but I think it would have been ok if I hadn't.

Resolder the shield and reseal the cover with sikaflex or silicon and your done.

Cheap second hand SAFC will do the trick, scale the voltage back to the origional afm values.

Definitely worth while if you need an afm now and have plans to throw a safc on it anyway.

Think of it as for the price of a new std item from nissan you can have your self a bosch z32 + safc, making more power and slightly better fuel economy.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
