Hey all,

Just of last night I have been having some problems with my car. First of all the idle has become really really rough. The car will literally "shake". Im not exactly sure what it is but it seems to be excessively rich as it struggles to stay alive.

I put new plugs in it today but they did absolutely nothing.

Could it be the AFMs?

When the car is like this, the boost gauge also "flickers" while it is in vaccum.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Sounds like it may be a vacuum leak.

The ecu is measuring the air that comes through the AFM, but too much air gets in, so the ecu compensates by adding more fuel as it tries to maintain idle, then it over fuels, cuts the fuel - viscious cycle.

If it is vacuum, you will notice it alot more when hot than when cold too.

My guess anyways:)

have you checked all your vacuum lines?

I may have similar problems with my car.

When I stop up a hill (this occurs when driving normaly beforehand) the revs drop really low (sometimes at this point the car stalls) and then pick themselves. This loops for about 5 seconds (at a frequenct of about 1 cycle per .5sec) and then the revs stabalize.

Background:

I have a s2 R33 gtst.

I have a blitz BOV.

My AFM maxes out at less than 250rwhp on the dyno.

Sometimes when going up a hill at about 4000rpm by engine check light flashes (indicating my AFM is maxing out - its not the quick flashing that indicates pinging).

I'm running low boost (0.6bar) when this happens.

There is a Z32AFM sitting under my bed waiting to be installed to fix my AFM problems.

Anyone know what my problem is?

Well I am not sure if this is the prob, but does the pump have a non return vavle fitted? I have seen the non return valve taken off the top of 044 pumps to make them easier to connect.

I am sort of guessing :P, but when at idle the fuel pump will switch on and off as fuel pressure increases and decreases, just like when you turn the ignition on and dont start the car, the pump will prime then shut down. I am thinking that perhaps the pump is shutting down, and fuel may be returning back down the lines, which isnt a major problem until you are facing up a hill.

Have a look at boostmeisters low engine rpm stalling thread, goes into detail of wiring fuel pumps to be constantly on to avoid such dramas. Not sure if this is your prob, but may be:)

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
