R32 Engine Problem

Last night i was driving home and all of the sudden when i put my foot down to rev up 3rd gear the engine started to shudder like it was about to run out of gas (the was half a tank of gas in the car). The problem continued for a little bit, i was able to drive home by keeping the rev's under 3000rpm. I rev'd out 2nd gear a few times on the way back home, and everything seemed fine.

Yesterday i took the atmo bov off and connected the standard plumback setup back on, so not sure whether that has anything to do with it.

Also on the odd occasion, when i'm driving i'll put my foot down on the gas and for a split second theres the slightest of hesitation before the engine starts to rev up. Almost like one plug is fouled up.

Any ideas of where to start?

The rubber hose or metal pipe?

I've only run into this problem now that i've put the standard BOV and

plumbing on the car.

What would happen if the standard BOV was to leaking under boost? (would it cause this problem)

Mate, I had similar problems.....the car would be fine during th drive and on the odd occassion, it would shudder and would not respond to the throttle. I've got a multi display screen in car and I can see when this happens, there is no fuel injection at all! Had it checked out and it appeared that the AFM sensor had fouled up due to oil mist build up from the K&N panel filter....at least that's what I've been told...had that cleaned up and problem seem to be gone.

Yer it would come and go and then some times idle realy low to and sometimes run fine. I also thought it mite have been a miss but when i checked the plugs and coil packs thay all seemed fine. you should change your fuel filter every 60,000 any way

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
