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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
