Hey guys,

I just took my GTR out for a drive tonight. And i left about 20 secs up my street, when i was driving up a hill just normally not pushing it, i suddenly felt a lost of power and then i can hear rattling sounds from the engine. I can still drive it but when it is idling it feels like its about to stall, it idles really rough. I didnt really hear anything blow or pop. just sudden lost of power.

Also when i try to start up the car again it kind of struggles to start but when it does it idles rough for a little while then its normal again. But when i rev it up to about 4k rpm and let it go back to idle I can hear a bit of ratttling from the engine. Also i noticed the standard boost gauage is sitting above -7 now. Hope its not a blown turbo or engine! :D

Help please!

Does it blow smoke? Usually it would if you've done some turbo damage.

Maybe it dropped a cylinder as one of the coil packs died?

Or it needs a new fuel filter/injector clean?

Or even a clogged air filter?

Does it boost at all? Did the guage always work correctly or maybe you have just noticed the guage isn't working now that you think you have broken something?

Lots of smoke will mean serious damage more than likely

cheers

Hey,

-No there is no smoke anywhere that i can see or smell. I coudlnt see any leaks either.

-I just got some brand new apexi pods so it cant be clogged.

-The boost gauage has always worked. when not on the throttle it sits around -7, but now its a bit higher.

I suspect its either an injector problem or coil packs or maybe spark plugs? Maybe??

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
