Hello Guys,

I've been having this problem with my V35 250GT for some over 6 months now and the car is now sitting at a well known workshop where the mechanics are stuck so I've come to the forum to ask for assistance.

6 months ago I had my VQ25DE engine replaced with a new one, since then the car has had issues on full throttle and the mechanic who installed the engine closed up his shop.
I took the vehicle into Nissan and they said that there was a TPS Error code being thrown up on their diagnostics tool, they checked the TPS and saw the wiring had been hacked so they tried to fix it up.

This solved the problem for about a month and then the car started to feel almost like it hits a rev limiter on full throttle and the whole car shakes, it drives fine if you lightly accelerate all the way up the rev ranges.

I've been battling with the issue for a few months because nobody knew the answer to the problem, until a few days ago when the vehicle does the same on about 2,000 RPM's now and is practiaclly undriveable.

Another scan has thrown up a curl valve error (apparently sits at the front of the engine to open and close throttle) but again, the mechanic is not 100% sure without another V35 side by side to replace parts and test.

If anyone can help, please help as I am stuck and left with no other options. Even if someone can lend HyperDrive in Malaga their V35 250GT for a cost so that they can test replacement parts I will be forever thankful.

Cheers Guys!

I have a spare section of the plenum with the tumbler valves in it, if that's what you mean, or are you talking about the throttle assembly?

I would be surprised if it isn't the AFM causing the fault though. I have replacement's here but until you know the cause for sure, you are grasping at straws. You need to get a consult 3 unit on it, to read the ecu properly.

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
