Hey guys,

Was driving the GTR around the other night and just as I came on boost the hose from the turbo manifold to the intercooler came straight off. I reattached it and clamped it back on but is still running like it wasnt reconnected, I had a look at the pfc hand controller and the air flow graph was all over the place and would eventually just stall

I disconnected the AFM, started the car and it instantly stalled. I reconnected them and tried starting it again, same as before I disconnected them.

Ive had a look at the cooler piping and all seems to look okay, as much as you can see through the bumper vents.

Could there be something wrong with the AAC valve or something a bit more serious?

Going to pull the front bar off and have a better look over the weekend, but any suggestions in the meantime would be a massive help!!

Cheers

An update on the situation...

I took the piping that popped off right off to see if the silicone split and there was no spliting. I shone a torch down to the intercooler inlet piping and to my misfortune there is a BUCKET TON of metal shavings.... Ohhhhh man..... Fml

I was hoping you'd say an intercooler pipe was rubbing and had worn.

one way to find out about the turbos. post a photo if you can take one. Hope your motor is okay

Im taking it down to allsparks performance later in the week to get Frank to go over it and provide me a better indication of what is going on.

Its doing similar stuff to when the first coilpack shit itself, but seeing those shaving really makes me worried. I dont know if.the previous owner had his turbos go and its just residual flakes from when they gave way and have just stuck to the blowby oil in the piping or what it is

Best case scenario, im up for some new coilpacks, worst case... You can imagine

So turns out, no blown turbo, THANK GOD! The "filings" was simply the reflection of the light reflecting off the ripples in the blowby off the silicone piping haha!!

Damien from G6 motorsport had it all day and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

He had a look at the spark plugs and they were disgustingly black.. Simply from when the cooler pipe popped off and the mixture in the cylinders not being what the computer was programmed for and fouled out 4 of the 6 plugs. New set of plugs and away she goes, back to normal!

    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy. 
    • I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year. 
    • Hey guys, Purchased and drove up new wheels from Vic last weekend. Car never been registered in Aus before. Only thing was aware of was pod filter which reverted back to stock. Went to get blue slip in western sydney. Everything with car fine (compliance etc) and knocked back for coilovers. Was told illegal and need engineering cert. Called the certifier they recommended and was told at min $1000 to certify them. I was then told HP can STILL defect you even with them certified. All this was news to me. Is this just a case of deal with pay the $1000 and run the risk? Kind of nuts given the amount of people running with coils I know of. No one I know has OEMs to use to pass, either.
    • Welcome mate. Best Stagea is best Stagea. How is it driving a correct hand drive vehicle driving on the right? The Japanese do the opposite here and they've made parking boom gate ticket things on both sides to cater for LHD and RHD cars, as there's so many of them (mostly German but there are quite a few American cars too).
    • So of these and these, which ones have ethanol in them?
