Hi all

got another question.

I had reacently installed a new high pressure WALBRO GSS342 pump, as mine was dying. So now i have noticed that when the car is HOT, and you go to start it, it does this funny stumble, like when not all the cylinders start at once, then all fire up.

The car starts first time everytime, but does the above.

ANY IDEAS.

Didn't notice this with the old pump?

I have EXACTLY the same problem.Though mine has to be primed up to three times.I asked the tuner about it and he confessed he removed the flow back device cause it reduces the bosch 910 HP rating from 350hp to 250hp.Now I have to buy a new pump to get the higher HP rating and still have the anti flow back device.

However, you said yours has the valve in it so did you do it yourself or did someone do it for you? If it was someone else then double check.

lol, exept mine is the R33 syndrome.

Yeah it's a bit funny, i will sorght it out. I have a funny fealing it's teh fuel pump, as it is not direct wired, will sought that out ASAP and get back to you.

"skylinecouple" I do all the work myself, as much as i can, i don't trust other nimwits to screw up my car. If it is major, then it goes to a workshop i know well.

As far as i know, all WALBRO pumps have an antidrain valve fitted, mine did. you can get inline ones and put them in the tank, only cost about $30 from bosch

ok to give you more info on the fact that this is normal...

this has happened to my car since i bought it 3.5 years ago...

what have i changed/cleaned to try to fix it?

- AFM

- fuel filter + hoses (also have changed to a walbro fuel pump with the problem still there)

- IAC valve

- AAC valve

- O2 sensor

- base timing

- battery

- spark plugs

- coils

that's all i can think of... pretty much changed or cleaned every sensor with no luck. running the car with nissan datascan reveals no problems either...

so if you find the problem, tell us all and make about 1500 skyline owners very happy :D

I have the same problem, some times it does it when the car is cold. Sometimes it does it when the car is warm, sometimes not. I am running everything stock except for boost controller, AAC valve out of a GTS-4 93' model, adj fuel pressure reg and walbro gss342 pump. These problems came once i installed the pump and reg.

I can resolve the problem very quickly by simply touching the slightest of touches on the acclerator. perhaps this has something to do with it. I will investigate in a few weeks time.

Well i am working on it. I will wire the pump in to direct feed on the weekend, and also stuff arround with the fuel reg. I will check the TP sensor ro ensure it is calibrated ok, and go from there.

It's one of those weird things.

I also changed my ECU temp sensor, which made a bit of differance, but now when the car is COLD, the rpm go up and then down and then up and stay at 1300rpm till she is warm.

BLODY CARS. LOL.

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
