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!

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
