hey everyone.

I have a rb25det r31 and just need a bit of help diagnosing this problem.

in neutral and in gear: when on the gas it revs smoothly until it reaches 6000rpm then it looses power and it sounds as if its backfiring/misfiring/spluttering.

more info

.aftermarket turbo

.turbosmart boost t

.intercooler

.sard fuel pressure reg

removing the boost t made a difference from 5000 rpm misfire to what it is now at 6000rpm as well as changing the spark plugs and gapping them to .8 with feeler guages. original plugs where at 1.1 gap

any help is appreciated. thank you.

also, when I first bought it the previously owner had turned the fuel pressure right up and said he was running aftermarket injectors. he had removed the injectors and replaced them with the originals but didn't change the pressure. I have dropped the fuel pressure back to stock.

any help is really appreciated

thanks mate.

it has a r33 ecu. I'm looking at getting either the z32 or r32 ecu and going with the nistune chip once i get all the bugs sorted out. iv cleaned the airflow meter with a store bought spray. I hope it's not the coil pacs, there not cheap.

I have taken the fuel rain out and looked at the injectors, they are a dull purple and not much information stamped on then.

I can almost garuntee that it isnt a stock ecu if it is running different injectors. Stock ecu's cant do it.

to be honest id get that car in for a tune soon and attention from somebody that knows because if you are changing the fuel pressure over the shop you could really run into some trouble and damage the motor.

Be prepared to be throwing coilpacks and perhaps a z32 ecu and even some proper aftermarket injectors at it in order to get it running right, safe, and making some reasonable power if indeed it has an aftermarket turbo on it...

well iv just blow the head gasket:( so that could be why it was loosing power at high rpm.. bad compression?

iv started ripping the motor apart to check what damage has been done, what else could I be replacing whilst its all apart??

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
