I have a rebuilt r32 gtr thats suddenly developed a problem.

Its running a power fc with z32 afm's, 700cc injectors.

I got nabbed by epa and had to revert alot back to standard, then once on the road again it was re-modded, car ran as it should the whole time.

Drove it to my brothers house that weekend and it was fine but when I went to leave, the a/f ratio gauge went nuts saying it was leaning out, however the exhaust temp went lower and injector duty was up compared to normal so I'm assuming it just went really rich and the a/f gauge couldn't read it properly.

At first I thought the plugs had fouled so I did a few accelerated bursts just enough for some boost to see if it made a difference and the injector duty went through the roof, 20ish% more than usual. Even at idle it registers as lean on the gauge until it gets upto operating temp, then its fine at idle but even the slightest amount or throttle and it goes nuts.

It wasn't a problem that gradually came along, it was instant, which leads me to believe its electrical, a sensor or meter that affects the amount of fuel the computer wants to use.

The o2 sensors have only done approx 3000km's, the afm's were bought second hand but never used(apparently).

Personally I'm thinking its either something wrong with the afm/s either a busted element, faulty circuit or connection. Or as stupid as it sounds maybe even a busted fuse? will be checked tomorrow but its got me stuffed.

Anyone else have a similar problem? or have any know how that could help me out?

Would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
