G'day,

My skyline is running terrible, stalling and struggling to restart and this ones has got me stumped. The car seems to have a rev limiter of 2500? (AFM?) it really struggles to climb revs, and many times will stall and not restart. The strangest thing is the car will run perfect for the first 5 mins then start bunnyhopping all over the place like its running out of fuel. Give it a few mm of throttle and it dies in the arse and bunnyhops.

Any help is great the only thing left is the AFM, so how can I test it?

Cheers heaps

Try taking the AFM out and cleaning it with metho or something, I usually use a gas lighter on it as well to burn the metho off -may be a bit extreme but it seems to work for the last ten years of doing it every year.

Also change your fuel filter if you have not done so.

Seems to be when it gets hot that you have the problem so that indicates maybe a water temp sensor??

Yeah thanks mate, fuel filter was changed and whole fuel system was flushed out and a new tank was put it, so at least I know it's not that.

Yeah will give the AFM a better clean this time, but it was crystal clean last time was cleaned only 2 months ago.

Will check the temp sender again

I'm sure some other poor bugger skyline owner has had this before :wub:

Cheers

Yeah iv had almost the same problem. not as extreme as what your getting though. I took my car to a few different people and no one could give me very good answers. My car seems to of fixed itself though... wierd.. hasn't happend for a few months now..

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
