m35 stagea constantly going into limp mode

Hey guys, first time posting here.

I've had my m35 stagea for about 6 months now (250t rs our) and i absolutely love this car. ever since about the start of last month it decided to enter limp mode on me. since than i have replaced a lot of parts. Started with plugs and coils and that fixed it for about a week, then i moved onto cleaning the intercooler piping and tb, same thing happened as it was fine for about a week then started going into limp mode again. then replaced the throttle body, maf and accel pedal position sensor and did all the relearn procedures. car ran good for almost 2 weeks! and well this morning on my way to my morning college class it wouldnt even leave my driveway without entering limp mode. I'm honestly at a loss with this car and not sure where to go next with it

Can anyone think of anything else to diagnose? i dont have a scanner of my own to check the dtc's when it enters limp mode but im working on getting one.

to clarify, my stagea is a 2001 with 124000km on it. always maintained properly in my ownership as well.

I had the same problem just recently, going into limp mode  with an nm35 2003 model but is was limping  once a week or 3 times a day .( 149,000k)

There was no perceived pattern.

The mechanic swapped two relays around . one relay was the lights and unfortunately  I can't recall what the other was . PM me if you haven't resolved the problem then  I will visit him Wednesday  for you, as I don't come onto the forum very often. Obviously the relays were interchangeable if that helps.

He mentioned that perhaps there was some moisture or a poor contact. sorry I can't be more useful

Previously when this happened  a few years back, a throttle body was replaced but you have done that already

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
