***help*** Random R32 Gts-t Problem!

Hey Guys,

Not sure if this is in the right area but I have a random issue with my car and no one seems to be able to isolate it? Its been to two mechanics about half a dozen times in total, we've changed a few bits and pieces but still happening! It went to one mechanic 4 times before he 'witnessed' the issue...to give an idea how random it is...

It's an R32 GTS-t manual, only mod is a muffler (came with the car). The issue I am having is really random...most of the time it runs fine...but sometimes it would stall, the idle would rise & drop all on its own or the idle would rise to about 2500rpm and stay there...it's really odd...it doesn't do it all the time or even consistently. The ONLY clue is it tends to run worse the less fuel it has - but that could just be a coincidence. I've had the car serviced with platinums to be sure...the AFM checked and recently my mechanic replaced coil pack 5 as it was 'burnt' out? - but its STILL doing it...? Any ideas?

vacuum leak causes this, or a hold on the rubber front pipe on the turbo AFTER the afm could be leaking.. sounds exactly like the problem i had. ended up being a hole burnt thru the feed pipe to the turbo... in otherwords, the engine is getting more air than the afm is reading, running super lean, and on idle can stall, and vary revs constantly

****UPDATE****

Now we have a new element to the problem! - the car won't rev past 2500rpm...and when you press it past that point, it sounds/feels like its hitting the limiter...?? - this is particularly annoying on the freeway...as 2500 in 5th is about 75-80km...still sound like a post-AFM leak?

I'm pulling the intake out this weekend and having a good look at it, any further ideas won't hurt...

:D

Unplugg the oxygen sensor and see if it fixes the problem (leave the oxygen sensor in the dump pipe), if it fixes the problem then you have a stuffed oxygen sensor, i had a simillar prolem with my car a couple of weeks ago.Let us know if it fixes it

Hey all...I checked the inlet side and everything is fine...it started to play up again so I disconnedcted the o2 sensor and it drove perfectly for about 150km but now its doing it again...??? Could this still be the o2 sensor? I might try with the multi meter...any ideas would be great...BLKGTS4R32 pm'd be as he's having the same issues!!! :O

I basically pulled the whole inlet out and checked for leaks..(as suggested above)...everything is fine...I didn't check the AFM as such...that said, I have a Q45 on the way for it...I am suspecting its the o2 sensor...but would rather be sure as I've spent 4-500 already 'chasing' this thing... :O

Also, R32 GTS-t o2 sensor can only be purchased thru Nissan I am told? $165.00 + GST...

Thanks guys - much appreciated!!!

Nismo I AM in Melbourne, I have an AFM on the way (doing a 'round of mods atm - FMIC, 2535 etc) and I am planning on getting the ECU remapped - would this help? ie if there is an issue with the ECU, will a re-map correct this? Also - and apologies for being off topic - can you suggest anyone skilled in the art of re-mapping? I want to retain the factory ecu...

I think that you may have the problem that i had with my r32

Does ur cars rpm "hunt" ie. the revs go up and down when u stop or start it up ?

Does it idle at like 2000 to 2500 RPM once it stops hunting.(if it stops hunting at all)

I had this issue with my car and i tried everything to fix it but in the end it was the Cold Start Solenoid. Located just under the cross over pipe, between ur intake plume and the cam cover. It will look like a thin square "floppy disk" shaped object with two pipes going into each side of it, my guess it that it is this.

Rb motors are very prone for stuffing up this part. get a new one Not a second hand one cos you will probably have the same problem.

Hope this helps.

I had this problem that things i changed were:

AFM

TPS sensor

Adjusted idle screw

Cleaned out trottle body+butterfly

Cleaned AAC valve

Reset ecu

took air filter off(HKS TYPE)

Changed that solenoid on the aac valve(gold round thing on back of intake plume)

Changed oil

Changed coolant

cleaned everthing that i could

None of this changed my problem at all

In the end was Cold Start Sensor, im pretty sure that this is ur problem

Heres some pic of where it is.

Ps ill try and also get part no of it

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
