M35 Surging During Warm Up & More Power

Hi Guys,

I have noticed that during warm up and under very light throttle (no boost) the car wants to surge and has trouble holding a constant rev.

I have also notice that there is considerably more power during warm up that when at operating temperature.

Any Ideas ?

I was thinking it might be something to do with AFM and the air intake temperature sensor. As we all know that performance is reduced in hotter temperatures.

yeh mine does the surging thing as well.....did it with the standard turbo to. Don't know about the more power when cold thing....mine goes like a piece of shit when its cold.

yeah mine does it too. i have a theory, i rekon its something to do with the TPS being old/dirty. one day (when i find it) ill clean it with some contact spray and lubricate it.

apparently SOME V35s had TPS failures, maybe M35s suffer a similar problem?

I find it has consuderable more power though which is a little anoying. I also find that once the ambient temperature is over 17 degrees power drops off. So there must be something going on

well, cooler air is more dense, so it compresses better. i find mine doesnt go AS well above about 26. saturday night i was giving it a hard time with a mate and it was hauling ass but it was around 16 degrees outside.

maybe the intake temp sensor is faulty?

take it to a nissan dealer and ask them to check it. or run the diagnostics thingo yourself with the key/throttle combo trick

The default richer fuel mapping when cold coupled with cooler denser air would give you more power I would think.

Is your AFM clean? Could be a minor issue.

Definitely have a look at the intake Temp sensor, sometimes those plugs can come loose.

Have you removed your front bar and checked your intercooler fins? I know that I had an area that was bent to fark, no good for cooling the charged air.

(out of left field) Maybe install a voltage stabilizer such as the Hot InaZma? May help settle things down.

Thanks, Front bar was removed not long ago and everything is clean. I might build a beat shield around the AFM to see if it is engine ambient heat heating the sensor and Ill see if this makes a difference.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
