Hey guys,

The name is Jared, i'm a newbie to these forums, and i'm having some problems with my R33!

It seems to be coughing and farting on idle sometimes, now all the mods i have done is a boost controller, fuel reg. and exhaust.

the car is due for a tune very soon once i fit my front mount, but even i know it shouldnt be idling like it is even if it is out of tune.

The car will idle fine sometimes, and others it will drop down to like 500rpm and just start idling like a dog!

I know it could be many a thing so i'm just wondering if you guys would be able to help me and maybe tell me some stuff i can look for to help try and cure this problem , till i have to take it to my mechanic!

i have replaced the AFM, tried adjusting the little red idle box thing at the back of the engine, and yeh im stumped lol maybe something to do with spark or fuel perhaps? Anyways any positive input would be great!

Cheers, jared

Do a bit of a search for hunting issues, I guess that will probably cover most of what you need to know, I have been having these issues for ages, every time I changed something it would stop, then be back the next day - Its because the climate control ac is the problem! I would switch it off to test, then flick it on the next day! oh I laughed so hard when I figured that out ;) lesson one, change only one thing at a time...

The same thing was happening to my 33 GTS-T...

Was my fuel pump, it was on the outs and had to get it replaced when i got it tuned anyway... but idle was horrific and sumtimes when i had to stop suddenly the car would fall to 200 or otherwise stall....

Hope this helps....

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
