R34 gtr boost limiter?

Hey guys, so pretty much important myself a bayside blue 2000 r34 GTR, been super keen to get this car for the last couple months waiting, and today was the day to pick it up and drive it home, first 10 minutes car was a dream looked felt amazing just wanted I wanted, then... a problem started so  symptoms are this,

- start the car turbos/boost everything runs great, give it some gas and the turbos spool up to about 1 bar ( which I didn't think was stock boost settings but anyway ) 

then 5-10 minutes later I will go to just Accelerate normally and it will start to spool but when it gets to around .4 bar it will cut all the boost and the car will act like it has a speed limiter and not getting any air in, after that I had to keep driving the car in a higher gear to make sure it never gets into + boost because it would loss all power and not run, in 6th gear it will spool to around .2-3 bar at about 110 but as soon It gets over that bam cuts out again.

if I turn the car off and back on, problem immediately  goes away and car runs perfect again, then all of a sudden will start up again a couple of minutes later, watching the boost gage on MFD I can see it climbing into + boost then all of a sudden drops fully down ( with no wastegate noise or anything ) and the car staves for air.

any ideas of what it could be would be amazing, it's kinda put a downer on my excitement for getting this car, and really hurts when I still have a 1000km trip home with no boost

Bummer, but these old cars need TLC like any other. 

If it happens only when the car is warm it could be vac line that expands, could be bad sensor (I once had a bad CAS and an O2 that would only play up warm). AFMs with dry solder joints can also play up when warm if they are only just started to go. 

You need to pop the bonnet and get in there for a look. Dos a boost leak test, get a field services manual and multimeter and test some sensors. If you are not comfortable with those basic testing things take the car to a workshop that knows RBs. 

Factory ECU? You can buy a consult cable (I think like $100?) and download ECUTalk for free.

Seem to fix the problem, have driven about 600 more Kms and if hasn't gone into limp mode so that's always good, I pretty much unplug all the easy to get to cables blew them out and plugged the back in, someone I know also thinks that it could be because the car wasn't driven for 7-8 months that it could have build up somewhere and driving has fixed it 

 

cheers heaps for advice and help 

time to enjoy the car now

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
