Hi all,

I couldn't find my prob in the search topics, although it probably has been covered. The car is acting like it has a massive induction leak somewhere, however I can't find it anywhere.

Basically what happened was as I had taken off from the lights in a quick manner and got to around 3000rpm, when suddenly I had no power (as if I had blown an intercooler pipe off or almost ran out of fuel). I backed off immediately and on deceleration and light acceleration everything acted as normal. Although the turbo builds pressure, as soon as it does the engine starts to die. I managed to get it home and began diagnosing when after 3-5ish mins the engine stalled and would not start again. This morning I went through and checked all of the pipes and connections on induction side for leaks. The car started as normal idled normally for about 3 mins then started idling rough. I cleaned the afm then tried again and achieved the same result.

So i'm not sure if its the afm (gave it a clean and no difference), bov stuck open, or something else. I use the car for work, so I am stuck without it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adam

Also, engine diagnostics give fault codes 0100 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction and 1805 (don't worry about this one - brake pedal sensor mod). It had been giving 0171 - left bank lean for a while, but not now. FYI engine mods are pod filter, fmic, bov, boost cont, radiator, thermo's, plenum spacer, turbo back exhaust.

Sounds very much like AFM, & given the pod filter I'm not really surprised. But the AFM's do give problems to guys running totally stock, so could be just one of those things...

Recent thread (first thought to be blown turbo). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420866-m35-blown-turbo/page-2#entry6771732

Thanks Commsman. I just read the post and it sounds about right. I wouldn't mind borrowing someones afm to test just to be sure...if someone is nearbyish or hornsby area. I'll play around with the connections, etc now though and see if there is any improvement.

So, I cleaned the afm and tinkered with it a bit with no prevail so I ordered a new sensor from Nissan. Cost a painful $309 and 10 working day wait.

YIKES!

I bought one from Amayama for $112...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
