Engine Problems!

Hi Guys,

I've got an 06 350GT Sedan with a strange engine problem.

I had a problem where i would be driving at any maintained speed and the car would start surging violently, i took it in and had the throttle body reset which solved the

surging but now i've got a new problem.

When i accelerate from a stand still regardless of if the car is warm or not as i accelerate the engine feels like its going to stall like the engine is starving, i put my foot down and it backfires and away it goes.

it doesn't do it all the time but its getting annoying and i'm worried its damaging the motor.

I always run 98+ fuel from BP or Shell.

Does anyone know what the problem is or anyone in the western sydney area that can diagnose it?

Thanks

Lack of fuel, too much unmetered air... There could be a hundred reasons. Fault finding like this can be a headache without a Consult3, it might be worth taking it to a mech. Where are you located?

Intank injector cleaner won't unblock an injector, the only way to test them is to see the spray pattern and measure the output flow. If you were local I could do it for you cheap, otherwise if you can rip them out and get an injector specialist, or ship them down to me, they can be easily cleaned and tested.

Have you changed the fuel filter at all? 8 years on the original might be pushing it, but if the fault is intermittent... I doubt that is the cause.

Could be a bad plug or earth problem. You could get the voltage at the injector plug checked.

Like Alex said, a vac leak could be the cause, especially as it seems to be low down more so than up high in the revs. Check the brake booster isn't leaking, or some hose hasn't snapped by pressure testing the intake.

The AFM could be dirty or covered in oil, especially if you have a gay K+N pod hanging off it...

I would start with anyone with a smoke machine/intake pressure tester, and a obd2 reader.

Hijack

Scotty, what do you recommend using to clean the AFM?

AFM/MAF cleaner.... ;)

There is a product. Brake cleaner is too harsh and can leave a residue.

Also, you can't resolder a vq35 afm. It's a little different to a RB.

^^ This.

CRC do an AFM cleaner. Make sure you let it dry well before plugging it back in, as it has a microprocessor inside.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
