Surging R33 Problem

Hey guys, anyone have any ideas on this problem?

Had a flat battery the other day, so i jumped it from a charger/starter pack. Started up no probs. Keeps going flat but alternator seems to be working fine as its puttin out 14.1 volts. If i leave the alarm off the battery seems to hold charge ok.

Next problem is that since i jumped it the engine warning light is constantly on. Blinks and flashes every now and then but always remains on. Car seemed to drive fine but i just went for a good drive in it and noticed its "surging" really bad. If i cruise doin low revs (between 1000-4000rpm) it sorta revs fine then a couple of seconds later it coughs a bit and feels retarded in some way, then a second later its fine again, just does this constantly while cruising. Seems to go fine when flooring it though. Its not a stock computer either, its running a power fc. Im stumped really. Im not sure if the two problems are related or completely seperate. Im thinking maybe i've shorted something out or done something to the power fc by jumping it? Any ideas/help pointers would be more than welcome as i'm struggling to find a workshop thats not snowed under for weeks!!

if you just jumped it off another battery and not from a running car, i highly doubt that you damaged anythn. the problem with a direct jump start is that the emf from the other cars charging and efi system will interfere with your electronics, and can surge your computer. but sounds to me like the power fc has lost a part of the programming due to the power loss. OR you have a fuel prob. Also, Take out your coil packs and check the little clear window for and discolouration or cracking... i had a similar prob on my rb25det, and it turned out that one coil pack was dead.

:rofl: hope i helped :D

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked.

      Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
