Does it still do it constantly? Most cars run rough after a while if they havent been used. If the problem is constant, then there is a problem. Try doing an ECU diagnostic on it, see what the problem is. I cant see how its the Coolant Temperature Sensor, that just controls the temperature gauge!!

GeeTR, play nicely!!

Rhys, fair nuff sozzles :D

Sam a good start though for a SR20 in a Silvia issue.. would be the NissanSilvia.com forums; with the lack of more info, I did think u was taking the piss ;)

Does it only play up when you start the thing? Does it show any rudeness at all when driving? Is it only when cold / hot? Stock fuel pump?

BOV - how do you know your BOV is staying shut? Do you mean so when your driving, or again.. when idling after starting it? More info, gets more help :P

sounds like faulty or not plugged in AFM

got the car looked at today the main fault wa the safc 2 settings had reset themselves but now alot more problems hav come up... im gettin a big list tomora of them all... cant wait :)

only had the car a couple of months aswel

cheers for ur help anyway

much appreciated

Thats generally what happens when you buy used!! We've got a Holden WB Statsman HDT at work, needs $2500 work done on it!! Thats the first one, the owner has another exactly the same needs the same amount of work. When we called the customer to let him know, his answer was... ... ... ... ... "...Is that all...?" Wish I had that much money!! Good luck getting it all fixed though

yeh its pretty crap int it... wish i had the money 2!

got the list today not happy at all... who ever did these mods must of been brain dead... theyv used a heater hose for the turbo drain hose n its got a massive kink in it n thats jus the beginnin...

ill need all the luck i can get!

good luck wi urs m8

You'll get that alot. People will try to modify their cars, but have no idea what they are doing. For example, they think all rubber hosing can be used for fuel...

At work we had a Mustang come in, and the owner had blocked off the heater core with a Sidcrome 75mm 1/2 in extention bar. And a Holden WB Stateman has a vaccume line leak fixed with a nail. WTF? Try to think out all your modifications, and do them with a little common sense. It may just save ur life!!

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
