Why Is My Gtr Acting Like Windows

Hey everyone,

I've got a rather random problem with my GTR that is random is the sence is happens randomly, but annoying non the less. :)

Basically the fuel cut is activating at around 2800 RPM, which is most probably just before the Turbos start to spool. I've had this problem since i brought it but has only happened on 2 occasions prior to this.

I use BP ultimate, stock ECU and only an aftermarket FMIC and pods.

Could this be related to my Coil packs or a faulty connection between the AFM and ECU, or is it something more annoying like the internal wastegate. But again is doesnt happen very often and when it doesnt my car runs perfectly.

Cheers

Are you sure that its the fuel cut?

I would start with the process of elimination technique...

Try replacing your O2 sensor first and check that you AFM isnt filthy dirty (check the little wire inside the actual AFM housing, spray with electronics parts cleaner, or carbie cleaner).

Check that your crank angle sensor is still working, you'll need to borrow someone elses for this...

Then check coils, plugs etc.

Other than that Im not sure what it could be.

Check all vacuum lines and intercooler piping for any leaks or loose clamps. As its starting to build positive boost pressure it may be blowing open a small leak.

Clean the AFM as suggested above, o2 sensor I wouldnt worry about too much (as mine ran fine for years without) and also check the o-rings on the injectors (the problem that elluded me for 6 months).

Well today it worked fine and then while i was driving it started up again and when i was driving back from CIT it just stopped when I was at a set of lights. It is very random but I do recall the guy i brought them off saying the coils will require replacing sooner down the trace as they are getting worn or whatever they do in their old age. I've checked the intercooler piping when I put the plumback pipe on and they seem fine. I'll give the AFMs a clean and the actual connectors, as I think this might be the problem if not the coils. But I'll do everything that has been mentioned as it could be one of those aswell.

CHEERS!

If your coils need replacing then they will most likely be cracked due to the plastic they're made from cracking, causing the spark to "arc" (jump out the side rather than travel down through the spark plug), but Ive never heard of it being so bad that it actually cut the engine, it usually just causes it to run really rough.

I would be checking the fuel pump if I were you, sounds like its cutting in and out intermittently.

I had what sounds like the same problem, and it was one of my air flow meters. I just had some z32's put in so i've got 2 stockies that you can borrow to test if you need. Only problem is that I'm away with work work for another week, if you want them then just PM me.

Cheers,

Brad

Hey, I'm giving the AFMs a clean right now. I not sure if the fuel pump is to blame as it cuts at the same spot everytime and not at a random time. I'm thinking the ECU isnt letting the REV range go above when the turbos start to spool as it thinks there isnt enough air to run them efficently, that if it is the AFMs.

See how the clean goes. If it still having a problem, I might have to borrow yours for a test Brad.

THANKS!

hi mate, it stuart swing your car past work and we will plug your car into my scan tool and see if it comes up with any codes.

Gave it a drive today and didnt have the problem, but judging from the past it has to be problem free for 2 weeks before I say the problem is resolved...On a more stupid note my other cars battery went flat while i was driving home...in the dark...oh why are the headlights dimming and why does my Revometer show Zero while in going 60...lol maybe my alternator carked it i dunno. But I'll be dropping in my GTR to ya soon Stuart as I'm getting the roadwortthy do at PW aswell as my CV boot issues. :laugh: But it would be nice to see if anything else isnt right with my GTR.

I also found out one of my pods is half crushed...Those Apexi ones arent really that cheap are they ><

Hey ya!

I think the AFM clean fixed the problem as it has been going good for 2 days now and ive noticed it a bit more responsive.

Thanks for all your help but if it appears again its back to the list of elimination.

CHEERS!!

P.S. You get muck with my honda civic on monday Stuart, alternator is either dead or near enough to it.

A/f meters are a common thing on these cars,if it happens again i would try borrowing some as the symptons you have are what you will get when an air flow meter goes.

Nah, the whole fuel cut problem is fixed now...but another problem which was probably being hidden by the preveous has started. Basically I remember reading something that may be about it and they described it as 'engine sounds like a subaru engine' So basically is runs rather rough at times and has no power and at other times its completly fine and then it goes back. I could be acceleration it rather aggresivly and still be as slow as my other car. I might take up Suka's offer and take it down to his work and get it computer checked.

Cheers!

OMFG... My car is now swapping between two problems. On its that one of the coil packs decided to work or not on a day to day basis and the other is still the same problem I had before. I had the AFMs tested and they are both giving the same constant reading so one isnt broken. Its on and off and even stops while im driving and i know this and the cars revs drop a little and then its fine. I think my car is cursed as the fuel meter decided to work or not...its working now but before it was at rest position (sitting on the little plastic thing to stop it moving more down) and before that it just sat on quater of a tank even if the tank was full. Ive had a diagnostic on the engine and it said nothing was wrong. Grrr, it going to check the O rings on the injectors and think about who can check the fuel pump pressure, but chances are when i book it in the car will be running fine. Maybe i have to get an inline fuel pressure gauge to see if it is unusually low. And maybe a ECU reset just for the fun of it.

CHEERS!

Go see John at Trojan motorsport. The money your spending on finding the problem could be spent and to find and resolve it in a very short time.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
