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

maka.

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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
