So basically I was going from a 60 to a 100 zone, car started reving up and making boost and the engine cut out, died completely.

Fortunately there wasnt much in the way of traffic and I had a mates following me in another car (we were going to go camping). The car struggled to turn over, but got there after a couple of attempts but sounded a bit spluttery and the engine light was on. Managed to limp it back home, but I it wont rev much past 2000 rpm, if I tried it would bounce the revs back and forth over a 100-200rpm range and surge almost like a bunny hop. We pulled in to a servo part way back, my mate was low on fuel. I didnt need to fill up but when I went to restart it it REALLY struggled to get going again, almost thought it wouldnt start up at all.

Ive tried to pull the ECU codes, got four zeros. Took the front end off to check the intercooler piping, and also checked the engine bay - all looks to be fine (Im not a mechanic by any stretch though)

Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions as to what I can do/check to isolate the problem?

Cheers!

Airflow meter?

That thought crossed my mind too, but surely thatd through an ECU code? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ob...st-t281894.html indicates there are AFM malfunction codes.

Hope you get it sorted quickly.

Cheers mate

Sounds like airflow meter Dunc, at least they have been sourced cheap now, around $80 or so new I think. I have no idea why the codes didnt come up...

Can you borrow somebody's to try?

Its possible to check an AFM with a multimeter, isnt it? Maybe I should give that a go

I take it there arent any AFMs that would work other than a unit off another M35?

Quite a few cars use the same airflow sensor but in a different housing, Subaru use it, and many VQ's like maxima.

i let scotty operate on mine too - and they arent repairable as per the older ones.

so will be a new/second hand one

they are available on yahoo auctions japan.

and before you try a 350Z one wont work as the adaptors are different.

unsure about the skyline v35 350gt but id imagine they are the same as the 350Z

mine did the exact thing about 4 months ago.

i was overtaking a car and was in boost when it died mid flight!!!

it was the air flow meter.

I remembered bits and pieces of your thread - couldnt remember the outcome or exactly what was the go. Its reassuring to hear that someone had the same problem and the fix wasnt too costly.

Time to get in contact with Jesse Streeter I guess, doubtful I'll be able to source one here for cheaper than what I can do on Yahoo auctions!

They are available here, im sure Jetwreck got onto a cheap source...

Airflow meter? Hope you get it sorted quickly.

+1 and +1

AFM Nissan part number is 22680-6N211

It should be the same as used in the 2001-2007 X-trail and the 2000-2005 Pulsar

Or you could pick one up on Yahoo... they are routinely on there for under $30 (ex shipping & commission)

you serious ?

doubt my 98rexy spare afm would suit surely ?

mate i had the same issues about two weeks ago, i only just managed to get my car home, i took out the air flow meter and sprayed it with contact cleaner and it worked an absolute charm, the car hasn't gone better, it's always worth a shot.

Have you run over anything? like a rock that could possibly squash your fuel lines?

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
