ok here we go. Today it was nice so I decided to work on my car.

1st I wanted to diagnose why my horn wasnt working. Ends up being that the relay is bad.

2nd I wanted to bondo my fenders. Thought that I didnt have any hardner so I skipped that task(later found the hardner)

3rd Heat shrink the power wire that enters the engine bay and joins together with the upper and lower engine harness.

4th relocated my s-afc with the extended ash tray thing that I found at the junk yard.

So after all was done I decided to crank her up. Noticed that the throttle and afm wasnt reading anything. Both read 0. So I started to jiggle a few wired and nothing.

went over to the throttle body and unpluged it and the car dies. Normally the revs increase a lil bit but not cut off. Then I went over to the maf and unpluged it. Nothing happened. Now during this whole thing I noticed a lil smoke coming out the tail pipe(just a little bit) So I placed a rag over the maf sensor and nothing changed. I know there is something wrong here but then again why is the maf and throttle not reading on the safc???

When I peg the throttle the engine does like a delayed 2 step and the turbo builds boost. I guess somehow the timing is retarding causing this effect.

Does anyone have any ideas?? I drove the car for the past 3-4 months with no problems. I mean everything I did this afternoon was minor stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mods:

-1989 240sx

-rb25det

-safc

-boost controller 12psi

-3 inch exhaust with cat delete

-freddy intake manifold

-q45 throttle body

-fmic with RFL bov

-aftermarket radiator with slim fans (2 fans)

What about limp mode?? I noticed anouther cat on NICOclub had the same issue. Never told what it was or if he fixed it but it is the doing the exact thing. Would this happen if im throwing a code?? Im sure that I wired the check engine light into the cluster but not really sure how to check codes.

It will have something to do with the AFM wire that you have to use for the SAFC. Probably a dry solder join or it's come loose.

EDIT: Or you changed the settings on the SAFC accidentally where you have to program what type of AFM you are using.

Nah. All my settings on the safc where the same after reconnecting the battry. The power wire,blk and brn wires broke off but I soldered those back. Everything is still the same.

I pulled code 12(MAf) once. Could not get it to pop up again.

I als code code 55. I read here

found the problem....

comes to find out that when I went to relocate my safc that I pulled just a lil to hard. At the end of the wires is a plug. Well the plug goes inside the safc and plugs into some computer board inside the afc. I had to seperate it in order to plug it back in. Plus my plugs where fouled out from the none maf voltage. cleaned plugs and reinstalled. All good.

Oh yeah. I noticed that everyone says that the rb25's run rich. Well I have huge throttle body and freddy intake so I subtracted 2% from 5500 rpms to 7 grand. She pulled like a champ

And you pulled the 2% without putting a wide band on it? f**king smart...

Get it on a dyno NOW and check the AFRs.

Not "every" RB25 runs rich. Some have minor issues and make them run lean, although they seem to run perfect. Just guess working is bad

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
