Hi people

As the title says I've got a problem with lack of power with my 93 gtr, I've done some searching on this forum and found a few things which I have already done, The problem started with fuel consumption and then lack of power and not reving over 2500rpm. The things I've done to try fix the problem so far have been new o2 sensors, and just put in new nismo afm which haven't seemed to work, apart from that the car has cat back exhaust, hks panel filter and ebc set to 14. Any help with this problem would be great.

thanks

chris

The nismo AFMs I replaced my stockers with were a different internal diameter and required a retune of my power fc after installing. Wouldn't even idle, had to give it throttle while we backed it onto the dyno. Had your tune checked since installing? Because they are larger it will make your air/fuel ratio way out.

Get your tuner/shop to look into it. Don't get anything fixed but find out what's wrong and what it would cost to fix.

Could be a long list of things or a combination. Shouldn't take them more than an hour.

You've checked all you Intercooler piping for leaks/Splits or plain just no longer secured ?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
