Hi everyone, My 34GTT recently changed the air filter from the blitz sus power air cleaner to the blitz advance power air cleaner. After that the car start running funny. about 1/2 throttle hit 3500~4000 rpm car suddenly lost power for few second and the rev stay at that for few second and start go up again, the rev is kind of like misfiring or boost cut (sorry I am still a noob about my car so cant tell) but it never happen before. Car had done the major service about 15000km ago and had my boost controller proper tuned on dyno , with all the new plugs and coil pack. I am suspect about the conflict between the boost controller and the new air filter,(boost controller is the HKS EVC6) because when I switch off the boost controller the car run fine when I turn it back on it happen again. Just want to know does it happen to anyone else, and is there any solution to solve it. Thank you

Did it happen as soon as you changed the filter or a bit after? Could be a number of things: coil packs failing,vacuum leak or a failing air flow meter would be my guesses.

I'm guessing something to do with your afm, prob knocked the plug. Just check over the whole area where you worked and see if there's anything sus ie; plugs not in flush, vacuum hoses with no destination

i have seen air filters be sooo restrictive that it changes the boost.

remove the air filter and see if the boost goes back up again. if it does then bin that filter.

here is on example where i saw it, check it out for a laugh.. pretty funny shit.

I take out everything and reinstall it back, finally find out the mounting point is very loose due to the broken screw. After changing the screw and reset the ECU, the car run fine again. Still don't know because of the AFM plug or the loose air filter cause the problem. But thanks for everyone input, I was really worry there is some big problem for my car.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
