So I need help understanding how I’m pretty much 99% sure my maf is causing me problems but I can not find another maf to work. Long story short. My oem maf broke and I couldn’t get my car to idle it would just choke out and shut off. But if I cover half of the maf off without the filter it would run great. No vacumm leaks etc I’ve checked everything. Also when unplugging maf it runs great and rich. I tried a buddies oem maf off of his skyline and my car still wanted to choke and die. I ordered to e bay mafs j60 and they wouldn’t work either causes same issue. Then I used my buddies cheap e bay maf and it fixed my car for a short time being. It would then run great on cold start and driving when warm etc. but if I would shut the car off after the car was warm for 10 min and restart it it would run lean until I drove down the road for a mile or so and my afr would come back to normal 14.7 at cruise. Now my car runs 14.7 on cold start which is leaner compared to a normal Rb20det cold start. And slowly as the car warms up it gets more lean til it settles at 17.1. But if I drive it and push the throttle to the floor I can get it to run as it should but if I let idle for too long it falls back into the lean mode. Almost like I’m going back and forth from a rich map on my stock ecu to a lean one.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
