Hey There,

Got my new engine put in this week, and after a bit of driving around etc i've noticed that sometimes when the revs are low and building up to boost

at about 2500rpm the car stutters a bit and feels like its holding back, then once it gets past there it boogies.

Now, i had a major issue with one of the cams f**king up so one of my old cams was used in the motor as the other was broken, now if the cams were say to be different would this cause the issue? The cams supposably on the new engine were NA ones but im unsure of this as a fact.

The car doesnt really pull hard on 14psi as it used to, it used to throw you back in your seat now the car just seems to pull along the revs?

Also thinking Injectors or fuel pump?

Help! I wanna get this fixed!

Trent

oh ok sorry - so the engine was just put back in the car?

id say something is loose, like a hose clamp, intercooler pipe work, the air vac lines for the actuator etc - something along those lines?

Well its not the gap on the plugs

After a fair bit of reading ive come to the conclusion that its the fuel pump not sending enough to the engine, probably causing it to lean out. The car runs fine when cold but thats when its running rich but as soon as it settles its stuffed.

"Many of you with S13s have probably experienced hesitation on boost which can start to happen when the standard fuel pump is getting old."

I believe thats what my problem is.

Now im estimating that its dangerous to drive the car whilst in this state, i.e fuel pump could break down, or could lean the engine out.

Would i be right saying that?

it will be dangerous for you to give the motor any reason to demand more fuel yes.. like cracked piston spec. putting around not so much the best thing for you to do man is take it to a dyno and get your air/fuel checked out they will be able to tell u if it is leaning out or not, if so extreemly likely tis the fuel pump

what gap and how much boost are you running? I was running 14 psi and I had a stutter even after I put in a new 040 pump and pulled the gap from 1.1 to .8 and it stopped it

Car was datalogged today, we found that the timing was out. We also adjusted the teeth so that it was sitting perfectly.

We also changed over to a working CAS which still didnt fix the problem, the timing was jumping around from sitting on 15 to 7/8 up and down. Also tried a few diff coilpacks but we are unsure if they are working correctly.

I'm waiting on my walbro replacement to come back then ill be installing that into the tank see if that fixes the issue, other than that its coil packs/injectors we are thinking.

Anyone able to add some to the situation?

Also, if somone could be nice enuff who lives in the melbournes west to let me borrow there coilpacks for 2 minutes to see if the car runs any better would be appreciated.

For a 180sx SR20 Red Top

Anyone who can help either post or pm me please!

My car does the same sometimes, most likely cause would be either fuel pump or injectors. i have a power fc and when it happens i look at the inj duty and its 100% . It never used to it when i had 550cc in there. Two ways to fix it....

1. Bigger fuel pump, Fuel reg and bigger Injectors and tune.. or

2. Turn the boost down.

    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
