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

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
