Hey guys i need some advice/ help from the incredible brains of the import community please.

Ive got a 2003 Stagea VQ25DET and ive got an HKS OB-Link connected. My problem is lack of power, lack of boost (gauge hows 7-8?psi max) and a rough idle and if left to idle for a few minutes will stall...

Sitting idling the ob-link shows this20200606_123724.thumb.jpg.aaf86aa50e1e939a7092e30bbbf8a573.jpg20200606_123808.thumb.jpg.600ecc8ba8760d1aac20134d0d33502e.jpg

sorry for the hazy photos the glass on my cameras broken...

Its also has the fault codes P0100 and P0235.

Ive replcaed the AFM twice and had the codes cleared by a mechanic but has returned...

When it idles rough or stalls theres a strong smells of fuel coming from the car.

Also the exhaust seems to sound like theres a hole in in the exhaust but the sound isnt there all the time its intermittent...

Dont know if this is related at all but the fuel gauge doesnt show the correct fuel level..  

First off what does the 82% a/f learn mean plz???? Oh and that figure does not change!!! Idling or under load its always 82%

Any and all help would mean the world to me ive only had the car 6 weeks and still dont know what its like to drive a healthy M35 stag....

Please turn the photo round the right way.I am looking at my desktop and cannot easily turn the screen.

So far as I can tell that device is only reading the information that is in your ecu so if you do not have a wide band sensor it will not have any useful information about your AFRs.

So forget the device and go back to basics. Check your plugs, coils and look for boost leaks (as in test for boost leaks - they are not always easy to spot).

get hold of a scan tool or obd reader and actually check what the sensors are doing if voltage is stable or random. Bet it will be a failed O2 sensor and a leak near the cat giving odd readings.

Check for loose / leaky hoses, in particular the ones to the fuel pressure regulators. When they've hardened a bit with age the boost can blow them off. In mine, the fuel trims maxed out when i had leaks. If you can measure vac at idle, i'll check mine so you can compare.

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
