hey dudez

got a problem with my r32 gtst

yesterday at about lunch time, i had driven it for about an hour, just normal driving.

didnt drive it until about 9:30 pm. goto start up and it idles at about 1500rpm

goto drive it, it wont rev above 2500rpm, and when it hits 2500rpm, its like it hits the limiter, or like a fuel cut...but when i put my foot on the clutch it will rev, and the problem seemed to go away and i could drive home

played around with it for 20 mins and it seemed to be ok after i put my foot on the clutch and revved it.

drove home on the freeway and everything was fine until i put my foot down in 5th to overtake someone and it just coughed and spluttered and it was ok then i tried again and it just died in the arse and stopped, but it didnt stall.......

pulled over and revved it again, and everthing was ok, it would drive normally and wouldnt splutter or struggle

it did the problem again as i got off the freeway near my house.

now i have to drive my 31 again...it just isnt the same....

any help would be appreciated

cheers

I had sorta problems like that with my GTR when i first got it. Ended up being a f**ked airflow metre. Sounds like yours is going in and out of being f**ked, like mine would, i think its age and heat. Unplug your airflow metre, and rev it, it should hit rev limiter at 2500 cause its in a safe mode. Might not be the problem, but it just sounds like it, also check your o2 sensor, it can cause problems too, just if your airflow metre is out, would be a good idea to check or replace your o2 sensor. Hope this can maybe help

Cheers

ok...pulled the afm out, found only one screw holding the plug in....put three more in.

plugged everything back together, still not revving over 2500rpm

pulled apart again....checked all the cooler pipes etc...couldnt see and split hoses, but couldnt see the pipes that actually go into the cooler..maybe they are split or loose there.....

also found that my rear muffler is totally f*kd....all the internals spat out....could this be the problem also???

i midas well change the exhaust but dont know what size or wateva....3" turbo back with hi-flow cat? how big of a muffler

cheers guys.....

No revs above 2500RPM = bad AFM.

Yeah, if the AFM is stuffed, it will not rev over 2500rpm (cuts fuel).

Plus it will be running limp home maps which are really rich, because it can't detect actual airflow due to the afm not working, so it will run like a bag of shit.

A quick check that will confirm this 100% is running the diagnostic mode to show fault codes on the engine warning light.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
