hey guys

leaving work tonight, got in the car started fine pulled out drove 3-4 kms up the road and stopped at a red light.

took off quickly to get infront of the car next to me as i was merging (definately far from drag racing) reached about 70kph and the car started to shudder and stall. it came to a stop and died.

- the car starts but only lasts a few seconds, however it doesnt quite idle and just dies and you can't rev it to catch it. just dies.

- it has plenty of fuel in it

so it has spark, fuel, power, starter.... everything. i dont know what it could be.

any thoughts or anyone experienced this?

im going to tow it to Nissan tomoz as there is one close to my work. - hopefully nothing major.

might be the AFM.....see if there is a difference when it's unplugged and you start it.

Funny, ive never heard of a decent (read VQ) afm getting dry joints, still it could be. Was it out in the rain? The hotwire could have gotten wet?

Are you running the powerduct? That could let water in from the front.

lol....smart arse.....Danny's died mid flight a while back!....mind you he had just put a Stillen set up on.

i am running powerduct. so whats the theory? water has gotten in and messed with the AFM?

i doubt fuel pump. i can hear it when i turn the key to accessories sounds as it does always.

Check the intercooler end tanks haven't burst too.

Either way there are parts around. I have Craigs intercooler down here if you need it. lol

I also have the stock pump in a box somewhere.

someone's a parts whore!!!! :D

its at work locked up for the night.

so ill try to start it again in the morning - hoping its water in the AFM.

if not ill have to tow it to Nissan.

ill let you know how i go scotty and if i need any parts.

cheers

Just a whore in general I think.

Not much need for them now eh Craig? :D

I don't think it will be the crank angle sensor. When that fails the motor just turns off.... there is no in between, it runs then it stops.

The loss of power and shudder sounds more like a leak in the intercooler piping. I remember seeing Danny's car going like that when a pipe popped off. He could start it but it would stall straight away.

ok well it started this morning.

its idleing but the engine light is on. and it wont rev very well.

the guy from nissan told me over the phone it sounds like its in "Limp Mode"

but Nissan dont want a bar of it. and claim they cant help.

AFM is stuffed would be my bet.

Happened to my mates M35. Run as rich as hell, idled poorly (obviously) and couldn't push it pas about 2200rpm.

I may have a second hand AFM lying around.... or you could just get an Xtrail's AFM from Nissan and plug it straight in (my mate has a 350z AFM which works fine)

i drove it home and swapped it with my motorbike for the day.

it has NO BOOST. so im guessing it is turbo/cooler related.

watching the gauge it moves up but when it gets near 0 it starts to shudder.

so could it be a rooted cooler?

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
