hi there

i recently had the fun of experiencing limp mode (wow they got the name right lol) after my AFM filled up with black crap soot etc after a backfire. Ive cleaned (properly with carb cleaner etc), full reset, and the car has been driven for hour or so to map new ones and it running much better but its taken a few drives and time to sort itself out, although i know its doin small tunes and adjustments as things change each time......however its not boostin much and is generally sluggish etc Its orib been about 2 half days since it has been reset So it is coming good but very slowly......

- am i better off going in for tune /dyno rather than waiting for computer to sort out

- does it look at differents maps after a while to choose best

thanks for your help

Sounds more like the backfire half-killed your AFM?

If I reset my ECU, the car runs pretty much exactly as it did before the reset. It'd mostly be listening for knock and adjusting timing based on the fuel you use and the temp it runs at.... it shouldn't run POORLY afterwards.. I wouldn't have thought?

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
