Hi guys

i was driving my R32 the other day and was giving it abit and hit a small bump in the road which lifted the car abit which made the RPM's spike over 9000rpm. then i heard a puff sound and looked back and saw lots of black/grey smoke. then the car stalled.

i pulled over at that stage and tired starting it. which it idle at 2rpm and then stalled seconds later. so im thinking i blew the engine.

got the car towed home and did comp test which came up good. range of 135-145psi which i had at start of the year.

recently i been having problem with my Z32 afm. would the cause the problem of the car stalling and ideling high?

cheers

bill

check you diddnt also blow a cooler pipe or similar..... sometimes an easy way to check is to unplug your afm then try and start it

checked all the piping all good. how would the car run without the afm pluged in?

Did you solder the Z32 wiring plug yourself or do something dodgy like only twist the wires together? The non-standard idling could be the AAC needs cleaning

the Z32 wiring was done by a auto elec...

would the ACC stall the car?

it may not be the afm wiring but the actual internal pins of the afm which need soldering.

your car lifted off the ground then landed?

that would be enough of a jolt to crack solder joints on an old AFM.

search these forums for SOLDER+AFM to see the DIY on how to fix it.

when mine started playing up, the symptoms were.

1.) idle go from 300 to 2000, then back, then up, then back etc.

2.) and when I get it to drive, it would not boost or go over 2000rpm.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
