Hey guys, I have a mate who have a R32 GTR and something happen!

He was driving on first gear and floor the accelator until around 5-6 thousand RPM and he heard a "Pop" sound and the engine lost power not able to rev above 3000rpm and soon after his car stall. When he try starting, the engine does start but doesn't last long.

When trying to start after that, we saw black smoke from the exhaust.

Got a tow truck instead to tow it back home.

So we know that something has crack. But we do not know what exactly is it?

Does anyone have the same incident? Does anyone knows what really went wrong?

Exhaust manifold crack???

Engine Blow? ( I hope not...but if engine was to blow, smoke will be out. but there isn't any smoke from the engine)

what we know is that the exhaust is shooting out black smoke when we try to start the car with some depression on the accelator.

Need some ideas and experience suggestions.

Cheers.

Guys, my mate has got it check and the car can idle without stalling only when he pull out the 2 switches that are attached to the AFM.

And the car goes into lean mode i suppose. cant rev above 2.5 thousand RPM.

Any ideas????

Electronics problem?

Replace AFM?

or what?

Need help seriously. haha...

Cheers.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
