Hey S.au need help with my gtr -__-

car runs like a shitbox especially when is warmed up!

car will miss and broad minded personter and wont rev past 2,600 feels like its a tune issue .. not a coilpack miss or spark miss but an electronic part shit itself f**king my shit up

had issues with air flow meter ... when it was warmed up 1 AFM was causing it to stall when hot ... replaced the faulty AFM now just runs shit house but runs -__-

timing has been checked .. throttle position sensor doesnt cause survere symtoms im having .. coolant temp sensor was recently replaced (ecu type)

any1 have ideas on what would cause this ?

any1 know any good import mechanics preferably with scan tester in brisbane southside?

car doesnt shake heavily .. although it could possibly be 1 cylinder down =/ or head gasket issue ( hope not though ) dont have comp tester or TK tester

hope its just some sort of sensor fault ... ecu shit itself ? common problem =/ ???

I've got Nissan data scan and I live in Ipswich/work at Richlands if you would like to see if the self diagnostic has anything to say.

diagnostic scanner would be choice !! when are you free ? would be much appreciated!!

It still sounds like an AFM issue. Do u have 2 known working ones u can borrow off a mate or sau friend.

Where are u located

Southside brisbane Forestlake

originally had AFM issue .. 1 was causing it to stall .. replaced that 1 and it stopped stalling ... but runs like shit =/

when i change the other AFM with the 'faulty' 1 .. car stalls again *thinks* dam 26s

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
