for a couple of months i have been complaining to you guys about my car randomly stalling, and i was fed up and about to sell it. but i came around and tried one more time...

i never thought this would be possible as you lose all hope after trying many times and mechanics being dodgy, anyway heres what i did.

i unplugged every single sensor connection, AFM IAC TPS and more, took intercooler piping off, took boost controller off, disconnected Boost solenoid, let it sit there for a while, more than half n hour,

i cleaned the AFM with contact cleaner again for the third time and let it sit in the sun.

I then by accident dropped the AFM and i thought great i screwed things up now didnt i ?

Anyway, put it all back together, secured all the connections, fired her up, and drove for 30 minutes, its been about one week almost and i havent had Hunting, hesitation, idle stall , power back off, heavy power steering at round abouts,

i guess the connections where loose, ill give it one more week of driving and see how it goes.

ill post another comment and let you guys know.

As for the blokes who offered thier Advice

thanks heaps!!!!!

it came back today, but i think ive pinpointed the damn plug causing me issue, Either the AFM is blown or the afm cable plug is rooted,

it starts becoming wierd, i accelerate it hesitates, i pull over turn the car off unplug - replug firmly, then its fine.

is the air flow meter in need of soldering ?

or is my Air flow meter plug dead.

not your afm, i just fixed a problem just like it on a r33 s2 gtst, the plug became brittle and cracked, so cut the wires back about 1cm, then soldered the plug on it, now doesnt have any issues any more. been over a month and not a single problem.

if you want, run your car under idle and wiggle the plug around, you will notice stalling and hesitation.

so make sure you wire the cables into the plug, get a very small screwdriver to take the connectors out of the plug, then cut the wires and solder them onto the connectors and re plug the connectors back into the plug.

there is a similar issue on the coilpack loom, with heat they become hard and break after some years, i replaced my loom a couple months ago

damnit lol, im not very good with Wiring and electonics. Your right on one thing, For 5 days straight i had no problems, i could boost high and low, idle properly no stalls

untill last night, i took her out for a drive, and as i came to the lights, she died, so i fired her up, starts fine, idles ok Take off driving it bogs out a bit if i blip the accelerator it comes back after a second. I DONT GET IT ANYMORE!

somebody come fix this crap lol. i mean the last 4-5 days weather was pretty much the same, so then we get hot day/cold night

So i pull over switch the car off, pop bonnet, unplug airflow meter Replug as firm as i can, start drives fine for X amount of time?

So is this the plug wiring? its killing me......

plug wiring, go to an auto electrician and ask them to re-connect or solder the plug, say its not getting 100% contact to your AFM, shouldnt be much to fix. maybe 50 bucks.

i would do it if i was in melbourne, but a bit too far for me... :P

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
