Hi guys.

Im sure this question has been asked a million times but I'm new here and also a new GTR owner.

My question is basically whats wrong with my GTR?

basically when I start it its fine but once I start driving it seems to be losing power or serging the rpm drops down to 0 and the car stalls. it seems to be getting worse and worse each time I drive it. I have only noticed it today after I pulled out the boost restrictor. I didnt read anywhere that this could be a problem.

Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.

just look at the title of almost every single response lol. somewhere in there, with some further diagnosis of your own, lies your answer.

everything seems to be working fine.

It was a pretty hot day today and the car doesnt seem to play up unless its hot or ive been driving a bit.

I read the other topics but still struggling to work out the problem as i am not a mechanic or very familiar with this or any turbocharged cars.

scratch that last post.

it seems to play up even when its cold. one of the small hoses near the air box seems to keep popping off when i drive the car, it has been doing it for a while but this seems to only slightly affect the cars performance not like how it is driving at the moment. I will get sore clips to hold it in place today and see how it goes. im sure there must still be something else wrong.

Small Hoses? pic would help

This could be 1 of the lines going to your boost controller either way if its connected to an intercooler pipe then this coming off is your problem, can you hear air rushing out of the hole on idle?

Doesnt seem to be leaking air.

it is stuttering real bad now. only seems to do it at low rpm because when I open it up it plays up for a little but as soon as the rpms high enough if seems to drive fine.... is there an easy way of testing the afm if thats the problem or should i look for somethin else?

Its strange because some days it seems to run fine and other times its junk

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
