Hi guys, so it goes like this, i work in a dusty enviroment, theres alot of cars including two GT-S's which you'll all hear about sooner or later, now one of them had its MAF sensor missing and the intercooler i.e. not there. now when i first used to fire it up it would idle fine without these bits. NOW after fitting an intercooler and MAF sensor she doont wanna know about anything above 2500 to 2750 rpms. can you tech gurus chime in? TIA

Bad idling is normally down to a faulty BOV. If its only revving to mid 2500 range, then sounds like the ECU is in limp mode. Maybe the replacement MAF(AFM) is faulty, sending it into limp mode.
Try draining the ECU by disconnecting the battery and depressing the brake pedal for a while. Reconnect and see if it is any better, if not, try another MAF

Hope that helps

Thanks for the input, i will try that as soon as im back to the garage. if no joy with what you mentioned, do you reckon it could just be dust in the charge piping?

Mmm, i doubt it. I'm no expert, but i'd go for the faulty AFM as the culprit. Possibly dust and crap in the BOV. Sometimes the spring does not return properly, thus causing unsteady revs, normally stalling at low revs, but the rev limit you described is typical of an ECU in limp mode...trust me i know:runaway:

Fair enuff!!! btw when you say BOV, you mean the one that sits just befor the throttle body right. cause when i try to rev i can hear her spool up loudly and the WHPOOSH from the valve!!

Yep thats it. Factory fitted ones i believe at Mitzi ones. Its normally crappy aftermarket ones that leak, but still worth checking. They do naturally get dirtied by the air as it passes by. Normally a just a dirty deposit from the air. TB's can also get a bit sticky sometimes too.

My freind has a Blitz replacement item for his factory mounting, but...for some reason its not as loud as mine!!

[NissanStyle]

I just wonder what it is your doin up at this time!!!!

 

[NissanStyle]

Seriously though, whats up with your light???????

 

[paul creed]

Nothing.
I'm in stealth mode:smokin:
Its in the user CP control panel. It shows when you are online, or if you choose not to be seen

 

[NissanStyle]

Mate it looks like your R's in stealth mode too!

 

[NissanStyle]

How much WHP does it make?

 

[paul creed]

Indeed my "R" is in stealth mode. So stealthy, i re-badged it as a GTST:chuckle:
Only stage 1 i'm afraid. Nothing special, just very loud

 

[NissanStyle]

LOL, i realised that it is in fact a GT-S!!! had a look at you profile and thought to my self "flushed side repeaters AND a slim body!?" I feel ashamed i could mistake them considering my name!!

 

[NissanStyle]

I notice you have the JUN front and GT-R sides, funny mix.

 

[paul creed]

I did have a GTR style bumper on it when i bought it, but i fancied a change but never got round to the sides.
