It is very likely that in a tb it will be a non issue. A tb has standard 6 cylinder firing order while our TD has an odd one.

On the down side, I think my AFM is cactus. After all the drama I had with the original one when I first did the efi conversion it was an easy troubleshoot this time around. Car just would not run with it connected.
I'll give it a good clean today and see if it works, otherwise I'll be hunting around for another used one(screw paying $750 for a sensor).

Is it common for these to just stop working out of nowhere?

The tb45 ones are the same so that may help you on finding one.

Can you not get it just tuned out of the equation?

Thanks for that, should help in the search. Going to try the last guy I got one off again, see if he has another.

Not sure whether you can with the nistune to be honest, think it requires the factory sensors. If I could tune it out, would I run into air/fuel issues, e.g. it'll be getting tuned at almost sea level, but realistically most 4wdíng is done(for me anyway) in hilly/mountainous areas?

Shouldnt run into afr issues if the tune is done correctly. I dare say you are more than likely right about the nistune and it would be easier to achieve with a stand alone ecu.

you dont need to worry about the tune from sea level to altitude, and theres no problem running unbreakable mounts on both sides on a tb

Okay, did some reading this morning and it turns out that this nistune setup is even better than expected.

so with the AFM, you can substitute in pretty much any other nissan AFM and the software will let you integrate it easily.

Seems the best option is the Z32 afm, which has a much higher resolution than the stock unit and even a brand new genuine Nissan/jecs/bosch one is under $300
