Help needed urgently...........

Guys i believe that my car has gone into limp mode , ie not revving past 2000rpm.

Now I went to Scott's place and we did the solder trick on the socket of the AFM (Z32) and swapped it with another one he had at the time and still didnt fix it . we suspected maybe that AFM may of been faulty. Strangely this wouldnt happen cold and would only occur when the car was warmed up and ONLY when restarted ie drive for xkm and then stop and then restart the problem would occur (but not always).

Anyway its been fine for a week or too and in the meantime i bought another z32 AFM as a spare just in case. I decided to change it and it happened last night on the way home (car not warmed up)

Now it happend first time this morning again fine for about 1 minute getting out of garage and up the street and the friggin thing is doing it again....

Does anyone have any idea what I can do as this is driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

Draren

It gets to 2000rpm then cuts and drops done to somthing like 1000 imagine brp brp brp if i hold it WOT, ie it would kill then climb back up the kill etc

Oh also it dosnt matter if your in gear or just revving it in neutral

visited Scotty again and resoldered in a new AFM plug as the old one had residue (oxidation) on contacts but didnt fix it.

Unpluged the TPS and hello......it can rev past 2000. Looks like the TPS maybe shot. This may be a give away due to the car idleing high most of the time around 1700-2000...

off home and swap it over with my spare and will let you know how it goes... I was always suss with it anyway as the vollage was always high in it 2.5v or there abouts on idle...

yeah ,

sorry for the late reply (went out) looks like the TPS can infact cause the car to go into limp mode. My ecutalk confirmed the voltage at idle some 0.5volts whereas before was somthing in the 2.5volts. so thanks heaps guys .Looks like we will have to all remember this in future ....

Check AFM ...

Check TPS

if you are limping....

Darren

"today kids, we are going to learn how to fix things by potentially making them worse"

R31Nismoid,

Nay dont have powerfc .

I have a Nistune so no display. It only comes up on my ecutalk which shows several voltages temps etc.

There was no error codes except for this "Fuel Temp Sensor" which I really dont have any knowledge what it is or even what it does

      What’s wrong with 2.6 first gear? I’ve done lots of 2nd gear starts from almost a dead stop and it just requires more clutch slip. A 2.6 first gear would be easier than that. I feel like the stock first gear is only good for severe traffic congestion where you need to be able to do 5 kph idling in first gear. Out in the US 120 kph is a very normal speed to be doing on the highways. If anything it’s slow, I regularly get passed by CA highway patrol doing that kind of speed. Out in the desert and plains even 18 wheelers are doing 130-140 kph. I would be less down on the Getrag if not for the fact that they cost north of 10k USD used and you’ll spend probably another 5k on a rebuild at least. I got my FS5R30A from Nissan for 1.5k USD. The cost of building one is maybe an extra 3-4k if you keep it reasonable. The final drive change to account for the 0.793 6th gear is also a pain to deal with.

      Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount. Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.

      Counter opinon. Having both an OS gearset car and the getrag 6 speed, will take the 6 speed for the street all day long thanks. First gear on most gear sets are ASS, the bloody gear you spend heaps of time in on the street too.   I run the 4.11 and it is fine at 110, (not sure who gets to do 120)  I do find the gears a little short and doing a 3.89 setup.    Anyway back to your question, running stock LSD rear, love it. Tried an S15 helical rear, it was aweful. In the process of doing a quaife front on advice as part of the 3.89. Seems like a good option. Let you know     Car is 800awhp and mostly street.

      I do the online time trials to get silver (1mil credits). Currently the EG at Tsukuba I got 1:14.015. Show me what you got! (Don't take it too seriously I only use the controller, CBF setting up G29).
