Problem With My Gtr

[R32GTRR]

I'd firstly like to say im a proud owner of a R32 GTR

Anyway ive only had the car since saturday and its already got a problem, it occasionally stalls when you come to a stop and if it doesnt stall the rpms stay at 1000 during take off and for around 5 seconds after taking off even at 100% throttle.

So we took it down to black toyota and they had a look over it and changed the fuel filter and said the fuel that came out was black and the filter was extremely clogged...(has been in transit from japan for like 2 months and hasnt been driven, still had some old fuel in it) it was ok on the drive home but went out in it before and after 2 minutes of driving the car would jerk going down the road at 2500rpms.

Just wondering if i should get the fuel lines flushed and injectors cleaned to and maybe drain the fuel and put new stuff in instead of the mixture it has now...could still have dirt in it or watever.

Im not sure on wat it could be and its killing me having the car for only 5 days now and most of the time its been in the garage... any advice on wat it would be greatly appreciated.

Ps: Mods include RS Racing Sports cat back exhaust, apexi pod filters, turbo timer, hks boost controller hooked up but no hand controller, some other greddy electronics thing under the dash unplugged, its next to the boost controller near the intake manifold if anyone has a idea of wat that is too.

Cheers

Bad fuel? Flush your fuel tank (change Fuel pump filter), clean & flow test your injectors. And also clean the fuel rail of you can. Is it running any Engine management? If so check the tune before driving anywhere!. Check A/F ratio and boost levels, people have killed motors by not doing this.

Well i was wondering if its something simple i could do but it is booked in to see this mechanic on the gold coast, apparently the only qualified guy in qld?! yeh i thought it could be a/f ratio as the hks hand controller for boost controller is missing only the other stuff is there...maybe running lower then factory boost but still stock fuel amount? this guy is going to have a look over the whole car and the place i bought it from is going to pay for the other half wit the warranty company as its within the first month / 1000 km's

its been in transit for 2 months so i guess its still tuned for japan standards, as far as the engine management i dont think so the mods i listed are the only ones im aware off although the dealer i bought it from said the only mods were the tyres...seems apexi pods and 3.5" cat back exhausts are standard now a days...we were going to drive it down to toowoomba then to the gold coast from where i live...thats like a 4 hr drive all up so ill get em to tow it i guess as there paying for everything..

Thanks for your advice

Hand controller for a boost controller? Are you sure its not for an aftermarket ECU? I don’t think that there is only one mechanic in QLD to deal with skylines... I'm sure a lot of people can recommend plenty of places. But I still highly recommend flushing your fuel system and changing your plugs and doing a full service on the car. Most of the cars that are directly imported are dirty and need a full service from top to bottom. A lot of import dealers actually clean & flow test the injectors, timing belt ect. It’s a big part of compliance.

you know the hks evc electronic boost controllers? the hand controller the sits inside for you to changed from high to low boost. well that sits inside your car n the plug runs into your engine bay and plugs into the hks module and that has vacuums lines etc that work your boost.

apparently hes the only qualified guy....maybe the only shop the warranty company will let us get our work done??

yeh this place i bought the car from should have done all that but do you recon i would need to tow it down to the gold coast or drive it? cause thats a 4hr drive and alot of things could go wrong in that time

I would defiantly get them to pay for a tow up there. Don’t drive the car! You may cause more damage. Make sure they get on it if it’s under warranty and resolve this issue. That’s the easiest and best option you have. Good luck with it all mate.

thanks for your help alex, haha ill get the mechanic to replace anything and send the shop the bill. I thought this sort of stuff is normally fixed when the dealership gets it

well hopefully it'll be ready on the weekend and should be ready to be unleashed probably take it to the strip to see what times i can do aswell and get a dyno done at the shop should be fun not having to pay for these repairs

Yes this should be done while you’re complying the car. Defiantly put it on the dyno to see how it’s running before you go do a 1/4mile run. You don’t want stuff going wrong! The workshop will tell you if all A/F ratios are in tact and things like timing and make sure its not pining. Putting a knock sensor would be also handy wile you’re doing the run. A tune up is defiantly needed here.

Hope it all goes well.

Cheers,

sounds like screwing up AFMs mine are doin them again. ther is a link on the site bout the afm. internally the solder cracks and doesnt have a good connection. im currently trying to find the link on how to fix it. does anyone know the link. i bet its the same problem with ur GTR.

[R31Nismoid]

What BOV's are you using?

Stock items?

If the BOV's are stock, just clean the AFM's with a bit of carby cleaner and then see how it performs

Failing that, you have a leak somewhere along the cooler piping, small leak at that, but symptoms dont point to a leak

[markimak]

after a day or searching no thanks to the search engine. i found it. most likely ur GTR is doin the same thing. here is the remedy.
