Hi guys been having problem with my R32 GTST lately, just some info on it first, stock turbo, gtr front mount, turbosmart bleed valve, pod filter, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, apexi bov.

The problem im having is very intermittent sometimes I can drive with no problems for a whole day ,ive only noticed it happening when the cars warm but sometimes when im around 2000rpm in any gear the car just loses all power, I can put my foot flat to the floor and nothing will happen and then all of a sudden it will jump to 3000rpm then no higher, sometimes after this happens I wait a few seconds then its fine other times it will then stall, when I try to restart the car it is very hard to start and needs me to rev it as its cranking over, sometimes once its restarted it will work fine again and sometimes the whole process will repeat itself, it can happen any time even while cruising along in say 4th the revs will just get stuck around 3k.

Ive also noticed since this problem started the car is idling quite low sometimes around 400rpm.

Any suggestions what it could be as its doing my head in,

thanks guys.

Hey Guys,

Dave & I cleaned the AFM on his car last night. So far it seems a bit better but time will tell as it hasn't been taken for a good drive yet. Will let you know how that goes. If you have any further suggestions or comments let us know!

FYI; It's running 11psi.

Ryan

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
