Hey,

I made a couple posts in the "car not accellerating propperly" thread, but still having problems with my car. It's a 1990 R32 gts-t

Here are my current modifications:

pod filter

3" cat-back exhaust

FMIC

Here is my problem:

When the car is hot, if i accellerate hard, the engine pops and misfires at about 3500rpm. Only happens under load and only when i've been driving for about 5 mins or so and it's nice n warm.

Here's what i've done so far to try and fix it:

Upgraded fuel pump to one from an R33 GTR

New spark plugs

Replaced coils with 2nd hand ones from another 32 gts-t

Not sure what's going wrong.. seems like it's a fuel or ignition problem, but i can't quite tie it down. I put in a fuel mixture display kit from Jaycar to see if it was rich or lean when it spits n pops, but the lights just flash from lean to rich and back over n over again.

I'm pretty much out of ideas. Maybe i need to upgrade coils. Maybe i should try regapping the spark plugs.. i really don't know anymore.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. May end up that i'll just have to take it to a garage with a dyno to get it diagnosed. better start saving my $$

put in an autotechnica fuel pressure regulator.. i don't recommend them.. crappy cheap parts, broke in a couple places, but managed to get it working in the end.

fuel pressure was only 35psi when idling.. upped it to 60psi at idle and seems to have fixed the problem.. more testing (aka fanging it) needed, but signs look good.

Thanks Gaz n Pal for the suggestions.

try a new air flow meter.....

my afm was dicky when the car got hot and i did all the usual 'obivous' quick fixes such as

-changed my igniter module

-changed all 6 coilpacks

-put in new plugs and gapped them to .6mm

-changed air filter and changed fuel filter

problem ended up being the air flow meter was faulty.... give ben at KYP a call

hahaha.. maybe you can donate me the cash mr engineer sir.

but yeah.. me n Steve found tonight that my coils are arcing onto the block seems the "new" coils were about the same condition as the old ones. gonna araldite them and reduce the plug gap.. should do the trick.

I've got a set of standard 32gtst coils doing nothing other than taking up space.. they were working well enough to make 245rwhp on the RB20 :nyaanyaa:

Or a set of splitfired aren't too pricey, I got mine for $515 delivered I think it was.

ok this is really annoying me now.. problem is still happening with araldited coils and spaller plug gaps.. gonna try air flow meter next.. Were you getting the same symptoms when your airflow meter was faulty Pandaah?

next to try after that will be ignition module.. how do i go about testing that?

another thing i find interesting is that my car is making about 12psi of boost without a boost controller installed.. inspected the wastegate actuator and the hose feeding it, but they seemed fine. The previous owner hadn't done much work to the car and didn't have a working boost gauge.

could it be that i'm getting too much boost and the standard ECU is cutting the fuel?

borrow one from someone else or throw it on a dyno for a full diagnostic run

if your running stock ecu they can check what the prob is if they have the software

    • 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

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
