Found the problem, after ordering o2 sensors (x2 for gtr's). Got the car on to a four wheel dyno and found out my ECU was chipped (suprise, suprise) as datascan wouldnt connect to it. Started a dyno run and the car was flooding the engine with so much fuel it was CRAZY. Eventually the tuner diagnosed that the knock sensor was cause, turned the crank angle sensor all the way and the engine didnt ping at all... meaning it was running on limp mode (apparently when the ECU cant detect the knock sensor it automatically goes into damage control mode and disregards all timing, plus floods the engine with fuel). Have a Power FC on the way, hopefully i get the GTR back on its feet. Thanks to everyone that helped with this topic!

yeah, i had pretty much the same problem as you Scratch..

my dump o2 sensor died after getting my car tuned for my new afc NEO, for the first time,

must have have over-done-it at ovaboost..

or they didnt tune it correctly..

because like 2 days later my car went into limp mode...

fine 1 sec and then, boom nothing...couldnt rev past lik 2500/3000rpm...so bad :|

so i ended up reseting my tuned afc to drive..lol

but i took it too a different tuner this time(speedworks) and they tuned it up nicely =)

i get round 400-500k's trashing tank, and highway/city traffic driving too...

so yeah

i recommend and apexi a/f controller for those getting bad fuel eco,....

but yeah, i want a power fc too...should solve all problems...

    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
