hey guys, this is what happened, i was driving and after a boost the car made a loud bang after i changed gears, then the car wouldn't hit boost anymore as soon as it revs up it hits a limiter at 3k revs then dies.

I checked all the intercooler piping that seems all good, i thought it was the AFM because when i unplugged it then the car idled fine and doesnt stall, then when i plugged it back in the car starts then drops revs slow then stalls,

so i bought a new AFM put it in and it started going all good then after 2 minutes done the same thing and stalled,

Car is an r34 gtt.

Definitely sounds like intercooler plumbing. Have done the exact same thing a few times. Make sure every single clamp is tight as Jez said, don't just look at them and assume they are tight. If they are all good then my money is still on a vacuum leak, but seeing as it happened after boosting then I am quite sure you will find it is the clamps.

thanks for the advice ive found it now the manifold was cooled down, the elbow silicone hose off the turbo to intercooler is rubbing on the manifold and the heat must of put a hole in it then it must of burst and put a 8 cm rip in the back off it. :action-smiley-069:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
