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!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
