Hey Lads

As stated my RB20DET Onevia isnt in the best of health at the moment. For some reason the car will not rev above about 3000rpm or so (well when it starts to build up some boost)... Car was running fine for about 200km's after I took delivery of it. But all of a sudden it just lost all power and feeling through the pedal and sounded like it was hitting the rev limiter (although only at 3000rpm)

So I have had all pipes checked and some replaced, I had the intercooler replaced, the fuel pump is fine, the injectors and gaps are fine. So the only thing I have been suggested to check is coil packs. Possibility?

Cheers

sounds like its in 'limp home mode' happened to my car a while back

the ecu isn't receiving a signal from a sensor so it doesn't allow the engine to rev past 3000 to protect it

on my car it was a faulty afm, check all our sensors (o2, afm, aav, etc) an ecu diagnostic will tell you exactly.

My 2 cents

Cheers Mate. AFM was replaced about 2 months ago...

Thing is it will rev past 3000rpm... but only if your not booting it. 3000rpm is all it will go up to with the foot flat, because it wont let it rev once it starts to make boost. If that makes sense?

sounds like afm? was it replaced with a new item, or 2nd hand one?

better try a nissan consult I reckon.......

Ahh so u do step out of the Stagea section hey? :)

Well the standard one died and was re-built.

It hasnt been re-calibrated yet though. So you think it may be that then?

yeah, I do actually.... mind you Im pretty clueless tho.

Id suggest that the afm isnt able to read the large volumes of air being sucked in by that dinkydi Onevia of yours. hence rich and retard.

How is the fuel economy? ratshit?

Nup economy isnt that bad at all... Which is the strange thing. I think its too quick for rich & retard. Although wouldnt it be spilling black smoke out the rear from excess richness if that were the case?

well it could possibly be coil packs. Would make for an easy solution. Pedal looses all feeling at around the 3000rpm mark when the foot is to the floor... So I'm not too sure. Will talk to you about it more on msn

Mate I know everyone else has suggested AFM but I had the exact same problem in my R32 with RB20DET it would cough and splutter at about 3k RPM and putting the foot flat to the floor would do nothing then all of a sudden it would surge back to life it turned out to be my AFM so yeah it seems likely this could be your problem too.

I'm thinking AFM too... This is a re-built one as the old one failed for some unknown reason. Hasnt been re-calibrated yet. Car is at a mechanics today getting a blue slip done. I'll get them to check the AFM for me

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
