Thanks guys, I triple checked all hoses clamps and the AFM, and everything appeared in good working order. my boost gauge seems to be operating in the normal vacuum and boost levels -20InHg and +14psi .

It does have a BOV. Maybe it needs retensioning?? Might be too soft and opening perhaps?????

Gunna try changing the BOV back to the standard bypass shit valve today and see what happenes then. I noticed on the way to work last nite while driving with the headlights off for a change that it didnt do it as bad!?!?!? Maybe the battery has gone again, but seems to coincidental for that, but will keep it in mind.

Blitz>>All vaccuum hoses check ok. cars due for a service soon(100,000km), and a set of cam gears and a PFC, so might be a job for UAS while they fit , tune and service.

YBSLO4>>It was one of the first vaccuum hoses to be plugged on, as its from the Greddy boost control solenoid thingy

Rob>>All silicon hoses appear to be ok.

When you say it doesn't idle... do you mean it searches? Like it bounces constantly from around 400-800? If so i had the same problem, its caused by a pressure leak. Can happen if you have a leak in your exhaust, a leak in your intake piping or either your O2 or TPS sensors are bung. It will definately be a problem with your cooler piping... the problem is it can also be casued if you have used the factory 90 degree rubber bend or 60 degree rubber bend that if you have pushed the piping into it to far that it overlaps the bend it restricts flow and will cause the same problem. SO basically i know you have checked it but it would pay to remove most of the joins and do it again making sure its 100% sealed and that all pipes are flowing properly. When i found the cause of mine it was because i accidently pushed the piping to far into the rubber bend and it had about 1.5cm gap for air to pass through :S When i fixed it i picked up 2.4psi and saved me a lot of fuel and really really bad lag....

When I had my FMIC fitted my AFM decided to do strange things.

When started there was heaps and heaps of black smoke coming from the rear and it sounded like it had huge overlap cams in it.

Removed the AFM, slapped a R33 AFM on for the dyno run, put my AFM back on and it was ok?!?!? Not sure what happened there but something is a little dodgy with my AFM.

XEQTOR; Let me know how you go, as i just finished doin my coola on the wkend, with the same prob.. Did a vacuum leak test, but no leaks... Sounds like it has a killa set of camshafts in it though :D ... Can notice a fair bit of difference even when it isn't running too smooth which is a good sign i guess..

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
