No air coming through induction 96 stagea

Hey guys I don't know if my account is the same as the one I introduced myself on cause I think it logged in through Facebook... anyway wondering if anyone can help shed some light. 

I don't know much about cars and by much I mean f all really. 

But my Stagea (96 RS) isn't sucking air through the intake. Upon having a look I see the sensor thing in/on there. It looked fine, I checked the connection and it was clean. 

I don't even want to drive it to the mechanics cause when i was driving it and it started to happen it didn't feel good and no air is not good. 

I searched on here and saw about air mass sensor? Is this it? Broken? 

 

Thanks and here is a pic of her

Trace the piping from the throttle body/intake manifold all the way along the intercooler piping and see if a hose has come loose or split. It would be making noise somewhere along that sucking in air from before the air filter.

Without air it won't run. At idle it won't suck much air - have you tried winding the throttle up? If its not coming in the front intake its coming in somewhere else so just check all the way back to the turbo intake.

hey guys sorry I haven't replied it turned out to be the turbo. So now I need a new one. Anyone got or know whom may have one? Also if going to buy a new turbo... which ones would you guys recommend? I don't have a lot of cash ATM. Seen some on eBay etc but a bit unsure

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
