Hi guys.

Im sure this question has been asked a million times but I'm new here and also a new GTR owner.

My question is basically whats wrong with my GTR?

basically when I start it its fine but once I start driving it seems to be losing power or serging the rpm drops down to 0 and the car stalls. it seems to be getting worse and worse each time I drive it. I have only noticed it today after I pulled out the boost restrictor. I didnt read anywhere that this could be a problem.

Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.

just look at the title of almost every single response lol. somewhere in there, with some further diagnosis of your own, lies your answer.

everything seems to be working fine.

It was a pretty hot day today and the car doesnt seem to play up unless its hot or ive been driving a bit.

I read the other topics but still struggling to work out the problem as i am not a mechanic or very familiar with this or any turbocharged cars.

scratch that last post.

it seems to play up even when its cold. one of the small hoses near the air box seems to keep popping off when i drive the car, it has been doing it for a while but this seems to only slightly affect the cars performance not like how it is driving at the moment. I will get sore clips to hold it in place today and see how it goes. im sure there must still be something else wrong.

Small Hoses? pic would help

This could be 1 of the lines going to your boost controller either way if its connected to an intercooler pipe then this coming off is your problem, can you hear air rushing out of the hole on idle?

Doesnt seem to be leaking air.

it is stuttering real bad now. only seems to do it at low rpm because when I open it up it plays up for a little but as soon as the rpms high enough if seems to drive fine.... is there an easy way of testing the afm if thats the problem or should i look for somethin else?

Its strange because some days it seems to run fine and other times its junk

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
