Hi all,

I couldn't find my prob in the search topics, although it probably has been covered. The car is acting like it has a massive induction leak somewhere, however I can't find it anywhere.

Basically what happened was as I had taken off from the lights in a quick manner and got to around 3000rpm, when suddenly I had no power (as if I had blown an intercooler pipe off or almost ran out of fuel). I backed off immediately and on deceleration and light acceleration everything acted as normal. Although the turbo builds pressure, as soon as it does the engine starts to die. I managed to get it home and began diagnosing when after 3-5ish mins the engine stalled and would not start again. This morning I went through and checked all of the pipes and connections on induction side for leaks. The car started as normal idled normally for about 3 mins then started idling rough. I cleaned the afm then tried again and achieved the same result.

So i'm not sure if its the afm (gave it a clean and no difference), bov stuck open, or something else. I use the car for work, so I am stuck without it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adam

Also, engine diagnostics give fault codes 0100 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction and 1805 (don't worry about this one - brake pedal sensor mod). It had been giving 0171 - left bank lean for a while, but not now. FYI engine mods are pod filter, fmic, bov, boost cont, radiator, thermo's, plenum spacer, turbo back exhaust.

Sounds very much like AFM, & given the pod filter I'm not really surprised. But the AFM's do give problems to guys running totally stock, so could be just one of those things...

Recent thread (first thought to be blown turbo). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420866-m35-blown-turbo/page-2#entry6771732

Thanks Commsman. I just read the post and it sounds about right. I wouldn't mind borrowing someones afm to test just to be sure...if someone is nearbyish or hornsby area. I'll play around with the connections, etc now though and see if there is any improvement.

So, I cleaned the afm and tinkered with it a bit with no prevail so I ordered a new sensor from Nissan. Cost a painful $309 and 10 working day wait.

YIKES!

I bought one from Amayama for $112...

      HK Premier with plans for slight mods, but keeping clean and simple

      By Christof · Posted

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
