My car revs out fine but it won't make any boost. Havn't looked at it yet but do any of you have any ideas. It was after a thrashing at the drift night last night at calder. The back afm reads less voltage than the front one so I think it might be a blown turbo since the exhaust manifold and dump pipe were glowing red before hand.

Hey Rowdy,

Which r32 was yours??

His is the Gunmental one, GTR wing and front bar (with paint missing), mis-matched rims (white LMGT4's on rear), and going by the pictures he finally got round to hacking up his spare bonnet with vents crazy dorifto style. :wassup:

Gaz mate, sorry i didn't get back to your SMS I was in the middle of summin and forgot about it until i saw this post, bad luck with the car though.

Are you gonna skip the Easter trip up to Gippsland to get this sorted? Hopefully it wont be too hard but those turbos did have a unknown history (just like everything else i guess) so i bet you've blown one. About time if you ask me buddy! :cheers:

Maybe this could be an excuse to buy a big-single or some other nice setup, get it sorted, then swap it over to your GTR when it gets here... :D

Anywayto anwer you question (and minor hi-jack your thread) my boost controller is going well, you'd be proud of me since i haven't tidied up all the wires running about, and my ECU was on the passenger side floor for weeks! :) Still got the kick panel of tho...

Good to hear oosh. Go the 32's. Now you've got the bug your car will never be in on piece ever again.

I got the diagnostic code 34 this morning which I think is a knock sensor but on thight acceleration front afm reads 3volts and the rear reads .9volts. I hope it might be a dead afm. I read they can die in zoom mag. I'll swap them at lunch time.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
