Hi Guys,

I am having a problem with my R33. Its really weird, and I tried a few things, but nothing yet..

Very intermittent fault, happens randomly. And can't control when it happens.

Ok, say i'm driving along normally in 4th gear at about 2.500rpm, and whilst holding the accelerator at the same level, car starts missfiring, and then after a few seconds, just looses all power, and starts slowing down.. then a few secs later just kicks back in, and its all good.. or sometimes, after it kicks back in, I press the clutch in, and watch the tacho. It cycles between 2000 and 400 RPM, which makes me think Air flow meter. Had a look, at it and nothing that was visable was wrong with it.. I have tried changing the crank angle sensor, and it did nothing. tried unplugging and cleaning contacts, but still nothing.. Tried unplugging oxy sensor.. nothing... still does the weird stuff..

Was thinking coil packs, but why would it completely cut out.. its not like a series1 where it uses a controller. I beleive the series 2 uses the ECU for this.

Any ideas?

is there anyone who has a spare series 2 air flow meter? just to try for a day or so..

I'm in Riverton, see skylines around there every day.. RDIRTY 2 (i'm pretty sure thats the plates. black R32) lives just around the corner..

I work in subi with Godthrila

Cheers

Yeah, thanks for the replies.

A fellow skylines australia member has offered to lend me his AFM to see if that solves my problem. I fitted it yesterday, and the car sems to be running sweet at the moment. But it happened intermittently, so i will see what happens over the weekend.

I will let you guys know. In the meantime I have completely stripped my AFM, and found that the thermistor and the heat element is covered with dirt and stuff. But yeah the thermistor is stuffed too, i think its just had enough.. So I gotta see if i can find a replacement from somewhere.

Let me know if anyone knows where I can get one from.

Thanks guys.

i've got a s1 r33 afm if u want to borrow it to check it out but if u got a s2 don't think it will work.

also are you running an aftermarket bov?

Hi Micheal,

The S1 AFM I beleive has a different plug.. I dont mind rewiring it, but I have already found a S2 one that I can use for the moment.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have a Blits BOV.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
