Hey S.au need help with my gtr -__-

car runs like a shitbox especially when is warmed up!

car will miss and broad minded personter and wont rev past 2,600 feels like its a tune issue .. not a coilpack miss or spark miss but an electronic part shit itself f**king my shit up

had issues with air flow meter ... when it was warmed up 1 AFM was causing it to stall when hot ... replaced the faulty AFM now just runs shit house but runs -__-

timing has been checked .. throttle position sensor doesnt cause survere symtoms im having .. coolant temp sensor was recently replaced (ecu type)

any1 have ideas on what would cause this ?

any1 know any good import mechanics preferably with scan tester in brisbane southside?

cheers S.au f**k piggs!!!

car doesnt shake heavily .. although it could possibly be 1 cylinder down =/ or head gasket issue ( hope not though ) dont have comp tester or TK tester

hope its just some sort of sensor fault ... ecu shit itself ? common problem =/ ???

I've got Nissan data scan and I live in Ipswich/work at Richlands if you would like to see if the self diagnostic has anything to say.

diagnostic scanner would be choice !! when are you free ? would be much appreciated!!

It still sounds like an AFM issue. Do u have 2 known working ones u can borrow off a mate or sau friend.

Where are u located

Southside brisbane Forestlake

originally had AFM issue .. 1 was causing it to stall .. replaced that 1 and it stopped stalling ... but runs like shit =/

when i change the other AFM with the 'faulty' 1 .. car stalls again *thinks* dam 26s

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
