Good day,

  My Nissan Skyline V35 250 GT stop operating at 100% a month ago. I was driving accelerating then when i hit 60km/h it started to shake showing an inconsistency in power and then finally just stopped revving and could only idle. I disconnected the airflow sensor and could only rev it it to 2500 rpm. My mechanic suspected the pump and then we changed it and tried to connect the air flow sensor back, then it wouldn't even idle but switch off. What could be the problem because my next port of call is the fuel pressure sensors as advised by the mechanic?

We are currently getting the P0100 and P0110  for Air Flow and Intake Air. Befire that we also getting the pressure sensor fault report but after the diag machine cleared the faults they never came back. After trying a new air flow sensor nothing changed. So to avoid the car not idling and switching off i disconnected my air flow sensor. I have a strong feeling it is the Booster Pump.

When the car is cool it does not cut but when driving in the heat the engine shacks and cuts off however when it was still okay i drove it without the air flow sensor when it was still okay it would not cut. Could this be the booster pump or fuel system playing up?

I have not checked the vacuum leaks yet but when the MAF is disconnected it is supposed to idle and fails to do so so i guessed it was the fuel system. It once did the same thing and i had my tanks cleaned and pump cleaned only for it to work for a few months then after sometime it packed up again. Could it be vacuum leaks?

Hi there. I read your post and it brought back so many memories of my skyline. It' an awesome car but the problems can be endless. Mine had the exact same problems after trying to fix it for almost 1 and a half years and spending a whole lot of cash on it I sold it in the end. The guy who bought it from me had owned one previously and had the same problems before he sold his. He bought mine in an attempt to try and get it fixed but last I heard he didn' win. 

In my country there is no support for the v35 model so it's difficult and expensive to 2 really fix. I had the pumps in the tank changed the pump in the engine bay changed. Removed the catalytic converters. Flushed the tank and engine several times. My mechanic even stripped the engine, checked and  cleaned every part as a last resort and put it back together again and still it was giving the same problems. The nissan dealer here doesnt deal in jap imports but tried to assist us and told us that the problem is something to do with the type of fuel. Here we only get blended petrol and not the unleaded options like other countries.

In the end we came to the conclusion that the car was designed to use pure unleaded fuel only. I gave up in the end and with a heavy heart I sold it. 

I miss the car though, but grateful for not having the headache .

Had a few issues with ours.

first the pickup fuel pump that’s in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump was shot, I would go and replace it, I used a little aeroflow intank pump from eBay $80.

next flat power after 3000rpm, there is a bunch of solidnoids on the front of the engine connected to vacuumed lines, these control a set of throttle bodies inside the intake plenum runs, for us it was an easy fix we ripped them out and welded the shaft holes. Maybe not the best in road car will lose low end power. 

Afm die very easy! Ordered a replacement and even that was dead! Order 3 different ones of eBay at like $20 each brand new and the next one arrived worked so kept the others as spares.

hope this helps with what we have come across so far.

    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
