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

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
