Just recently changed an AFM and the o2 sensor in the inlet manifold which were giving me trouble, I found another problem. I have good power in the first three gears, but can't make power above 4000 rpm in fourth and fifth. Thought it might have been fuel, so I inst. an 044 bosch and surge tank, but no help there. I live in the country and its at least an hour drive to any workshop who can help

Has anyone had any trouble along this line.

Thanks

injectors?

fuel pressure?

Injectors are standard GTR, and fuel pressure appeared to be fine, ie, pressure doesn't drop when power drops.

Before I changed the afm and O2 sensor, it ran fine, aside from coughing out with the dodgy afm every now and then.

Running around 12 pound of boost.

In terms of power being made, just as it's coming on to boost in fourth and fifth it's not following through. Very happy to sit at about 4000rpm, but will go no further. Fuel pressure doesn't drop, boost doesn't drop (aftermarket gauge), they just don't continue to climb. In 1,2 and 3rd, it will make 12 pounds and 8000rpm no worries.

The injectors haven't been cleaned since I've had it, but until this I've had no indication that they might be dirty at all. Can it happen so suddenly as to cause this?

Sorry, not O2 sensor, I think it is air temp sensor in Inlet!

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
