Long story short.

My brothers got a MY00 WRX, it has a slight hesitation or a miss down low in the revs when its not on boost and when its cold. He's tried new plugs and leads and fuel filter to no avail.

He does however have an S15 pump in there (came in the car when he bought it). It has a FMIC, turbo-back exhaust and pod in the mod department.

Would it be better if he's throw in my Stock R33 pump in? Would this help with the hesitation?

ps, I'd be posting this on rexnet except they won't accept my email to sign up.

Cheers guys :blush:

walbro pump would be the smartest cheapest option for a pump for a rexy.

Yes it would be. But we're trying to get this one down to a cheap as possible solution, but if it really came down to it and we really had to we'll get walbro. Better to do it right the first time.

But the R33 pump has got be better than the S15 pump wouldn't it? It'll be a larger sized pump than the stock wrx and s15 pump. Might be a touch harder to fit. I'm not even sure it's the problem, it probably isn't. Just another possibility maybe.

There might be a "flat" (wear) spot in the TPS that sends the "wrong" signal to the ECU.

Wear spot on the TPS? That's a new one to me. Please elaborate. How can I check the TPS?

Cheers guys :blush:

If i remember right 040 wont fit without mods, you can pick up walbro pump kits off ebay and formums liek rex met for around $125. I have one on the way for my liberty and they are pretty much the same set up.

AFM's f**k up on them a fair but as well.Try cleaning it out and see what happens.

I don't think its the fuel pump. If it was it would break down even more under load.

It could be the AFM, but it only seems to happen when the cars cold, when it warms up its fine.

Common problem with the MY99-00 , check airflow senser and clean............

I had the same problem in both my GT Foresters but much worse, it was the AFM both times. How many kms has it done? It is a common problem around 150,000kms+.

If it is the same AFM as the Forester (the '00 model one I just bought was the same as the WRX) it will be around $200 for a '98/'99 model and $750 for a '00/'01/'02.

edit: Also note, if it is the AFM is it running extremely lean (Forester was running 17 AFR and pinging audibly). Get it fixed asap before it costs you a motor.

Is it missing at idle or is there hesitation (or actual misfiring) in the low revs when accelerating? More info.

It hesitates(a single hesitation) low in the revs when accelerating.

So you reckon just a clean won't fix it? What if we re-solder all the points on the PCB board like when you fix skyline AFM's?

Cleaning doesn't do anything. I have no idea where the failure point is so couldn't tell if it would fix it or not.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
