hey guys, have this problem with my r32 gtst, ill be driving along and change gear, then when i go to accelerate again the engine gets to about 2500rpm and then dies back down to about 1000rpm before kicking in again. it doesnt happen all the time only every now and again, doesnt matter how much fuel is in the tank or what temp the engine is. also if this happens and i come to a stop the car is idling at around 2000rpm, and if i turn the car off then back on again it seems to go away most of the time. ive talked to a mechanic and he said its probly the computer but then i talked to another mechanic and he said i may have to put the fuel pump (bosch 040) on a seperate relay circuit as there may be too much current running through the computer and it cuts out. would li8ke to get it fixed asap as i dont know if its doing any damage to things. mods on the car are splitfire coilpacks about 8 months old, front mount from a supra about 18 months old and the fuel pump about 6 months old. any info would be great thanks Dale

Sounds like an Electrical Problem

Where u located

and Have you got access to the Diagnostic software to check the sensors and check whats happening in live mode

Last time i had this problem.The coil pack earth was loost and cutting the engine in and out but as for the hi reving sounds like vacum leak.

have you got a boost guage.What vacuum you running,Have you had the car on a dyno.

havent had the car on a dyno trying to fault find it. it doesnt happen all the time but ill check the earths on the coilpacks tomorrow. als o was watching the boost guage tonite and it was happing right as the turbo started forcing air in, ie as soon as the guage hit '0' bar. ill go through it on the weekend and replace all the vacuum lines incase its something like that. thanks again

anyone have anythin more to share?

when you say afmeter is fine, how did you check it?

it is common that skyline afmeters intermittantly fail, due to break in the elec's inside the afmeter. pull it apart carefully and check the solder joints.

cheers

I had exactly the same sounding problem. It was intermitant, and turned out to be the AFM. As DVS32R stated, the solder in the connector box gets dry socket and lifts off every now and then. This is exactly what mine had done.

You can open the box with a stanly knife and resolder, but easier to get a new known good AFM.

There is a tut somewhere on the site on how to opon em up and resolder.

Good luck

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Coolant leak?

      By Chupapy · Posted

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
