when i have been pulling into the carport after work, as i slow down and near full lock and just let the auto pull me into the parking space, the car shudders and looses rpm

i have only noticed this of late with the need to use aircon.

i'm thinking it is the engine at idle turning both the powersteering pump and a/c compressor making it hesitate

is it an issue, common, really worth me worrying?

does it do it any other times? I had an issue where the steering would cause it to lose revs and sometimes stall when driving at low speeds, and very often when pulling into my driveway in a block of units (full lock one way then the other).

First I had the power steering fluid flushed (that was all nissan could find) which kind of alleviated the problem ever-so-slightly for a few days...and then it was back again.

But it turned out to be a build-up of black around the butterfly on the intake, making the butterfly sticky and so it couldn't adjust the idle quick enough. The M35 has no idle air bypass valve so it relies on the ecu adjusting the throttle to let the right amount of air in.

If you have some time, remove the throttle body and give it a good clean out. This fixed the issue 100% for me and straight after that it idled perfectly every time. I did have to do the idle-relearn procedure afterwards to make it idle at the right revs again (i think there's a sticky in the DIY or servicing section at the top of the forum).

Some other guys had the same or similar problem although not all of them were the same cause...

If you find the solution, let us know :cool:

thanks for that - it is very occasional but when it happens you notice it.

i'll give that a try one day when i'm bored and inspired - it causes no issues, just curious to why.

your example seams very plausable i'll try that first

cheers

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
