Could be faulty AFM. Swap over if u have access, if not then resolderthe electrical contacts. Also check your coil packs.

Also if you have a pod filter, unsecured, get a CAI box or replace it withyour stock air box as this is what caused your problem with AFM.

99% chance it will be your ignition coils shorting out wich is a VERY common problem on the RB25DET engines

Quick test, take cover off the coils (black cover on cylinder head).. one way You could check them is to start engine and try to look for sparks whils reving and in the dark, But for mine the best way to diagnose if they are faulty (shorting out) is to give them a good spray with Inox (can be brought from bigw/ boating store etc) make sure you coat them well!.. than take the car for a good hard run and ill just about bet that you will no longer have the missing above 4500rpm, however this is not a permament fix.. it might last a few weeks max

The inox is insulating the parts of the coil that were beforehand leaking electricial current (shorting out) causing your engine to miss at the higher boost setting wich comes in at about 4500rpm from memory

If the coils are your probem there are ten thousand pages on here about how you can fix them or you can buy splitfire aftermarket ones wich is what some people do but your looking up to $1000.. i thing Sliding performance has a good deal on them atm for about $5/600

You can check your coilpacks very easily. Remove the plastic cover over them. Then go for a 'spirited' drive at night when it's dark. Try to recreate the situation where the engine does its bad thing. Then pull over and pop the hood and stick your head in over the packs. I had bad packs, and when I did this, I could clearly see the spark arcing on 3 or 4 out of 6. Bought new packs, and 100% fixed.

Just easy to check this first since it's such a common thing in 'lines.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
