couple months ago i was driving my gtr and went round a corner dong about 25km in 2nd gear then the car started to splutter and died. turned it on, got it started but it sounded more like a v8, extremely chunky, rev'd it a bit but it wouldn't go over 2200rpm then just died. this morning i was having a look over it, checked all hoses and piping and thats all fine. got the car running again and it was still chunky and blowing a shit load of grey smoke. fuel pump engaged. I'm thinking that maybe my battery could be a bit dodgy because when i got it started power fc had reset itself and just before my car originally started to f**k up i hit a bump which i thought might have caused the battery to do somethin weird and cause the pfc to reset.

if anyone has any ideas please let me know. quite puzzled as to what it could be.

it was in the car before it came to australia and as far as i know it was retuned before i bought it. yea i'll have another look at the intake piping but i was quite thurough.

that wont cause the pfc to reset where is ya hand controller any chance it was bouncing around? this happined to me abit back had it in the glove box it managed to bounce around pushing buttons and changed my afm to rb25's lol i have a gtr and it didnt like that at all wouldnt rev past 3,000 was like a rev limiter

i reset my pfc again and changed it all to the appropriate settings, r32 AFM's, boost controller kit off coz i got an avcr, etc things like that. got the car running, took it for a quick drive and as i hit about 2500rpm it was struggling. was popping alot and was about to die. possibly blown turbo? ran like a piece of shit.

dont think my hand controller would be too succesful with bouncing around haha

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
