nice work, what are u getting done?

hey guys i was wondering if any one can solve this...

My cars been misfiring abit and it got to the stage where when i gave it up... it wouldn't rev over 5g it just bounces back and sounded like something was holding it back, and also sounded gross... i changed the spark plugs and coilpacks, and its still doing it.

It also misfires and backfires around 2g when im in a high gear at low revs... then when i was testing it last night showing a mechanic mate of mine it still wouldn't go over 4-5g it just shat itself and wouldn't let me rev high....

Is this my timing from the computer? does it need a tune up or is there something else im not aware of.

cheers

and another thing, does anyone one know is the r33 rb25 uses the same water pump as the rb25 in a r32?

Hey mate, I had similar missfires going on with my gtr aswell. Basically on a cold morning at times it wouldnt let me rev over 2.5g, I put in new coil packs and plugs and it seemed like it got better but then was doing it again after about a week.

Ended up putting it in and getting a new ECU and a dyno tune. Problem solved

I cant say whether it was just needing a tune or it had something to do with the ECU but once they were done its now running perfect.

also check that the wires pluging in to your afm are in tight and theres no water around there. i washed my motor down and i bumped the plug and some water got in there and i had exactly the same problem. i hope that helps.

I have had this problem befor as well and I had two problems on different occations. Fist time I have blown a pipe half off on the intake. The other time I had shorted A wire out near the battery. Both times the car juat ran really rich.

On another note i have my car back on the road after a couple of years of sitting in the shed WHOO BLOODY HOO!!

i changed the fuel filter today.. didnt help my situation at all.

When my cars cold it doesnt even rev over 2800 - 3000. it just jerks around... feels like a L plater driving, revs just bounce back... but when its hot it drives fine just backfires a wee bit around 2000 and then once i hit 5000 it does the jerking rev bouncing shit again.

AFM? Timing? Fuel reg/pressure reg?

changed anything recently?

checked for vac leaks?

checked the afm/and its connection?

tried resetting the ecu?

checked the plugs/spark.

got injection pulse? use a noid light to find this out.

check the bov, but more importantly the recirc hose.

all the clamps done up tight?

im no mechanic tho.

im sure chapmans would be able to 'fix' the issue for a small fee :happy::)

daz i changed my coilpacks and sparkplugs, i checked out my AFM today, its all attached good... maybe the wiring is f**ked.

I also changed my fuel filter....

Martys ganna run it through his computer next week i think... hopfully it brings up the problem

also is there any dyno tuners on the coast?? or are they all in brissy?

cheers

Yeah I will never get rid of it, love the car too much.

Hey I am a bit out of the loop. Who is someone good to work on my car, I need a tune. Last time I went to anyone it was sub-zero on the goldy... That was a while ago...

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
