if the exhaust wheel has gone to heaven youll may get a high pitched squeal sound when you give it some curry but you haven't mentioned any of that. it sounds like an airleak somewhere in the pipework.

did u get any smoke/puff/noises/pops when it occured?

I think its more likely that you have popped a hose off

Is the car blowing any smoke?

Blitz is on the money here, more than likely you popped a cooler hose just have a look under the bonnet .

In my limited experience, when I popped the intercooler hoses off (shit silicone rubber & clamps; now replaced) the car simply stalled, and was a real shit to start to just get off onto the side of the road. Was very 'fluffy' when running.

If the car felt 'fluffy' then yes itd be a 'cooler leak of some kind, but if the engine felt normal but just didnt have any boost, then Id be spending the first 10mins looking inside the cat-converter for some ceramic bitsnpieces.

yep there was a sound of a thud and then no boost

it starts fine and runs untill it hits the point of boost where nothing happens and not even the noise of the spooling happens

well its off to ICE to be fixed and new turbo and bits and pieces to be played with.

hear hoping its nothing any more major..

( NEW TURBO HAHAHAHAHA)

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
