Hey guys ok i got two problems atm lol....

CLUTCH PRICE:

1: My clutch is getting really soft at the moment so i reckon its only got about 5 months left so i was wondering if anyone could tell me where i could get it replaced as cheap as possible...but not so cheap that i get some really shit clutch but a decent one and how much i should be paying for a replacement aswel

also a good place that knows what they're doing with reasonable prices who can deal with R32s is wht im after so any referals would be great

IDLE PROBLEM:

Okkkk this is the annoying problem ok so whenever i start the car in the mornings the engine revs kinda high to warm itself up...but then SOMETIMES the revs dont drop back down again they sit at about 1500 and its only when i turn off the ignition and turn it back on that it goes down to about 1000...this happens sometimes oh and also sometimes the hicas light comes on in the mornin when i start the car but when i turn it off and start it again the hicas light has gone off ?

second idle problem...sometimes when im driving and im coming to a red light and clutch in the revs sink really low about 500ish...today i came to a stop, slipped into neutral and the revs sank low again this time it went down to about 200 and then slowly hovered up and down till it worked its way up to about 800-900...this happens abit.

Sometimes when i start the car it just stalls by itself...itll just start as usual revs go up to about 1200 and then the car just stalls straight away...i then turn the ignition once again and the car starts properly.

SOOOOOOO I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOIN ON...theres days that the car doesnt do these things at all and drive normally and then theres days like today that jus p1ss me off lol by the way guys i already read alot of the other threads concerning idle problems but they're not all like this in terms that this has a few things weird.

soooo if anyone would wanna put in their two cents n help me out itd be greaaaaatttttttttt or if anyone had the exact same probs and figured out what to do itd be even better lol my mechanic reckons it may be a wiring problem with the turbo timer, wht do u guys think ?

Btw the car is a 1993 R32 GTST the mods on it are....3inch exhaust, 2.5 inch dump, Blitz dual stage turbo timer/boost guage, Cold air intake, Sard Bov (atmo), manual boost controller

:)

Cheers

cool

i've got the excat same problem, been like this for like 6 months, cbf fixing, could be anything

r32 gtst 93 model

just fmic, pod and catback

everything else stock, bov etc

when you find out the problem, please tell me

i'm changing my fuel pump to a gtr, hope it fixes it some how

re: clutch... if you looked in the Drivetrain/Transmission thead, you would see a very useful sticky.

:)

lucky you had it in the one thread, or i'd move it as there is good advice in there

yeh man i looked in there but its a referal for a place in a Queensland and im in Melb...my bad for not mentioning that before hand

check yout idle air control valve...it is a brass/copper colour cylinder on you plenum (at the back). Could be your AFM, or it could be your bov...give the idle air control and bov a carby clean. But also could be your afm....clean these others first if not them then give it pluged in at a dyno and they will tell you.

As for clutch i can get you some plates, let me know what your interested in.

- heavy duty

- brass button

- ceramic sprung or unsprung

- all sorts

can find you a price too if you want. prob startin around $250

So post it up there :blink:

That many people have done it from Melb that i know, its not "that" expensive.

For a proper job... your call really

alright alright relax lol ill post it in there but firstttttttt ill pm oblivion

oblivion pm sent dude

Can almost guarantee the idle problem will be fixed when you take off your AAC valve and spray carby cleaner in it and scurb it out.

it still up with carbon and affects the solenoid that controls your idle.

my car idled like a pig and stalled at lights all the time until a mate and i fixed it and cleaned it out.

there is a thread in DIY about how to do it, easy as takes about 1 hour.

cheers

    • Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.
    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
